Wraps. Zustand: Good. September 1994 Edition [stated]. 28 cm, vii, [1], 66, [2] pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Maps. Manhattan Project Chart. Notes. Select Bibliography. Manhattan Project Chronology. Cover tear at top staple and otherwise minor wear and soiling to covers. This is part of the Energy History Series. Topics covered include physics background, 1919-1939; early government support; the Manhattan Engineer District; the Manhattan Engineer District in operation; the atomic bomb and American strategy; and the Manhattan District in peacetime. The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons. It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada. From 1942 to 1946, the project was under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the actual bombs. Two types of atomic bombs were developed concurrently during the war: a relatively simple gun-type fission weapon and a more complex implosion-type nuclear weapon. The Thin Man gun-type design proved impractical to use with plutonium so a simpler gun-type called Little Boy was developed that used uranium-235, an isotope that makes up only 0.7 percent of natural uranium. The Fat Man implosion-type weapon was developed in a concerted design and development effort by the Los Alamos Laboratory. The first nuclear device ever detonated was an implosion-type bomb at the Trinity test, conducted at Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range on 16 July 1945. Little Boy and Fat Man bombs were used in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Manhattan Project conducted weapons testing at Bikini Atoll and maintained control over American atomic weapons research and production until the formation of the United States Atomic Energy Commission in January 1947.

wraps. Zustand: good. Revised Edition. 28 cm, viii, 115, [1] pages. Wraps. Illustrations, Chronology. Maps. Notes. Select Bibliography. Some wear and small creases to cover edges. Volume I of the National Security History series, a joint project of the Office of History and Heritage Resources and the National Nuclear Security Administration. A history of the origins and development of the American atomic bomb program during WWII. Begins with the scientific developments of the pre-war years. Details the role of the U.S. government in conducting a secret, nationwide enterprise that took science from the laboratory and into combat with an entirely new type of weapon. Concludes with a discussion of the immediate postwar period, the debate over the Atomic Energy Act of 1946, and the founding of the Atomic Energy Commission. Chapters: the Einstein letter; physics background, 1919-1939; early government support; the Manhattan Engineer District in Operation, Manhattan Photo Gallery, the atomic bomb and American strategy; and the Manhattan district in peacetime and Manhattan Project Chart. The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons. It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada. From 1942 to 1946, the project was under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the actual bombs. The Army component of the project was designated the Manhattan District; "Manhattan" gradually superseded the official codename, Development of Substitute Materials, for the entire project. Along the way, the project absorbed its earlier British counterpart, Tube Alloys. The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939, but grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US $2 billion. Over 90% of the cost was for building factories and to produce fissile material, with less than 10% for development and production of the weapons. Research and production took place at more than 30 sites across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Two types of atomic bombs were developed concurrently during the war: a relatively simple gun-type fission weapon and a more complex implosion-type nuclear weapon. The Thin Man gun-type design proved impractical to use with plutonium so a simpler gun-type called Little Boy was developed that used uranium-235. Chemically identical to the most common isotope, uranium-238, and with almost the same mass, it proved difficult to separate the two. Three methods were employed for uranium enrichment: electromagnetic, gaseous and thermal. Most of this work was performed at the Clinton Engineer Works at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. In parallel with the work on uranium was an effort to produce plutonium. After the feasibility of the world's first artificial nuclear reactor was demonstrated in Chicago at the Metallurgical Laboratory, it designed the X-10 Graphite Reactor at Oak Ridge and the production reactors in Hanford, Washington, in which uranium was irradiated and transmuted into plutonium. The plutonium was then chemically separated from the uranium. The Fat Man implosion-type weapon was developed in a concerted design and development effort by the Los Alamos Laboratory. The project was also charged with gathering intelligence on the German nuclear weapon project. Through Operation Alsos, Manhattan Project personnel served in Europe where they gathered nuclear materials and documents, and rounded up German scientists. Despite the Manhattan Project's tight security, Soviet atomic spies successfully penetrated the program. The first nuclear device ever detonated was an implosion-type bomb at the Trinity test, conducted at New Mexico's Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range on 16 July 1945. Little Boy and Fat Man bombs were used a month later in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. In the immediate pos.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This insightful book offers an explanation of the events leading up to the dropping of the first atomic bomb in 1945. Al Cimino explores the full story of its development, showing how some of the best physicists and engineers were able to develop the most potent armament known to man.
