  • The Making of an Atomic Bomb
    (Image: Courtesy of United States Government, public domain.) INTRODUCTORY ESSAY "DESTROYER OF WORLDS": THE MAKING OF AN ATOMIC BOMB At 5:29 a.m. (MST), the world’s first atomic bomb detonated in the New Mexican desert, releasing a level of destructive power unknown in the existence of humanity. Emitting as much energy as 21,000 tons of TNT and creating a fireball that measured roughly 2,000 feet in diameter, the first successful test of an atomic bomb, known as the Trinity Test, forever changed the history of the world. The road to Trinity may have begun before the start of World War II, but the war brought the creation of atomic weaponry to fruition. The harnessing of atomic energy may have come as a result of World War II, but it also helped bring the conflict to an end. How did humanity come to construct and wield such a devastating weapon? 1 | THE MANHATTAN PROJECT Models of Fat Man and Little Boy on display at the Bradbury Science Museum.

  • Uranium Mining and the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program
    Uranium Mining and the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program Uranium Mining and the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program By Robert Alvarez Formed over 6 billion years ago, uranium, a dense, silvery-white metal, was created “during the fiery lifetimes and explosive deaths in stars in the heavens around us,” stated Nobel Laureate Arno Penzias.1 With a radioactive half-life of about 4.5 billion years, uranium-238 is the most dominant of several unstable uranium isotopes in nature and has enabled scientists to understand how our planet was created and formed. For at least the last 2 billion years, uranium shifted from deep in the earth to the rocky shell-like mantle, and then was driven by volcanic processes further up to oceans and to the continental crusts. The Colorado Plateau at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, where some of the nation’s largest uranium deposits exist, began to be formed some 300 million years ago, followed later by melting glaciers, and erosion which left behind exposed layers of sand, silt and mud. One of these was a canary-yellow sediment that would figure prominently in the nuclear age. From 1942 to 1971, the United States nuclear weapons program purchased about 250,000 metric tons of uranium concentrated from more than 100 million tons of ore.2 Although more than half came from other nations, the uranium industry heavily depended on Indian miners in the Colorado Plateau. Until recently,3 their importance remained overlooked by historians of the atomic age. There is little doubt their efforts were essential for the United States to amass one of the most destructive nuclear arsenals in the world.

  • Oppenheimer & Groves
    Oppenheimer & Groves: The Duality That Led To Trinity Theresa G. Connaughton and Sharon E. Smith Presented at the SouthwestiTexas Popular Culture AssociatiordAmerican Culture Association Conference, “ATOMIC CULTURE IN THE NUCLEAR AGE,” Albuquerque, N.M. February 14,2002, Abstract: The alliance of J. Robert Oppenheimer, scientist, and Leslie R. Groves, military leader, is often interpreted as the classic example of the clash between the academic mind and the military style. Evidence suggests, instead, that it was a collaboration that led to the dawn of the nuclear age. Instead of a clash, it was collaboration and an implosion of the diverse talents needed for the success of this project. Discussion of these flawed and fascinating individuals still ignites controversy today. This presentation will explore the backgrounds and personalities of these two men and their work together to accomplish their mission. Was the aftermath inevitable, given a relationship based on respect, but perhaps not trust? The genesis of the modern military-industrial complex rested on the genius of these two men, though they personify two distinct American sub-cultures. What lessons can be drawn from their wartime and post-war relationship? What analogies can be drawn for current American values? Introduction For the past fifty-seven years the myth of the “good” scientist vs. the “evil” military man has been personified by the relationship of J. Robert Oppenheimer and Leslie R. Groves during and after World War 11. This paper attempts to discuss their lives and their relationship and dispel a bit of the myth. New examinations of their relationship and contributions to the development of the atomic bomb are overdue.

Inouye, Ph.D. Committee Member Vice Provost for Graduate Studies UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY Logan, Utah 2019 Copyright © Terri Wesemann 2019 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Metal Storytellers: Reflections of War Culture in Silverplate B-29 Nose Art From the 509th Composite Group by Terri D. Wesemann, Master of Arts Utah State University, 2019 Committee Chair: Randy Williams, MS Department: English Most people are familiar with the Enola Gay—the B-29 that dropped Little Boy, the first atomic bomb, over the city of Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. Less known are the fifteen Silverplate B-29 airplanes that trained for the mission, that were named and later adorned with nose art. However, in recorded history, the atomic mission overshadowed the occupational folklore of this group. Because the abundance of planes were scrapped in the decade after World War II and most WWII veterans have passed on, all that remains of their occupational folklore are photographs, oral and written histories, some books, and two iconic airplanes in museum exhibits. Yet, the public’s infatuation and curiosity with nose art keeps the tradition alive. The purpose of my graduate project and internship with the Hill Aerospace Museum was to collaborate on a 60-foot exhibit that analyzes the humanizing aspects of the Silverplate B-29 nose art from the 509th Composite Group and show how nose art functioned in three ways.

  • THE MANHATTAN PROJECT the U.S
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND THE MANHATTAN PROJECT The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management’s (EM) mission is to address the environmental legacy resulting from decades of nuclear weapons production and government-sponsored nuclear energy research, including at many sites involved in the once-secret Manhattan Project. HANFORD Created as part of the Manhattan Project, the B Reactor at DOE’s Hanford Site in Washington state was constructed in 1943 and produced plutonium used in the Trinity Test, as well as for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, to end World War II. With its mission thought complete, the B Reactor was then shut down in 1946. However amidst tension between the Soviet Union and the United States in the late 1940s, it was restarted in 1948 to support production of plutonium for the Cold War until 1967. The B Reactor Museum Association (BRMA), a local non-profit organization that includes many former employees, worked since 1991 to advocate for the B Reactor to be preserved and opened to the public. Since 2008, when the B Reactor was named a National Historic Landmark, DOE has worked to make the facility accessible via escorted tours for people of all ages, abilities, and nationalities. Now one of five Hanford facilities in the Manhattan Project National Historical Park, B Reactor has had visitors from all 50 states and more than 90 countries worldwide. The reactor tours are an opportunity for the public to learn more about the Manhattan Project, the plutonium production process and legacy wastes, and how DOE is successfully cleaning up the site today.

Einstein refrigerator. But when Hitler came into power in 1933, Szilard fled to England, encouraging his friends and family to do the same. In England, he first described the nuclear chain reaction (1933) and patented an early design for a nuclear fission reactor (1934). In 1938, Szilard joined Einstein in the United States, but the rumor that a group of Berlin chemists had split the uranium atom made them so concerned that in 1939, they sent an urgent letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, warning him that that Axis scientists were working to turn new nuclear discoveries into a superweapon.

  • The Physics of Nuclear Weapons
    The Physics of Nuclear Weapons While the technology behind nuclear weapons is of secondary importance to this seminar, some background is helpful when dealing with issues such as nuclear proliferation. For example, the following information will put North Korea’s uranium enrichment program in a less threatening context than has been portrayed in the mainstream media, while showing why Iran’s program is of greater concern. Those wanting more technical details on nuclear weapons can find them online, with Wikipedia’s article being a good place to start. The atomic bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were fission weapons. The nuclei of atoms consist of protons and neutrons, with the number of protons determining the element (e.g., carbon has 6 protons, while uranium has 92) and the number of neutrons determining the isotope of that element. Different isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties, but very different nuclear properties. In particular, some isotopes tend to break apart or fission into two lighter elements, with uranium (chemical symbol U) being of particular interest. All uranium atoms have 92 protons. U-238 is the most common isotope of uranium, making up 99.3% of naturally occurring uranium. The 238 refers to the atomic weight of the isotope, which equals the total number of protons plus neutrons in its nucleus. Thus U-238 has 238 – 92 = 146 neutrons, while U-235 has 143 neutrons and makes up almost all the remaining 0.7% of naturally occurring uranium. U-234 is very rare at 0.005%, and other, even rarer isotopes exist.
