  • 727- ,11- . The' Role of Radiology in the Development of the Atomic Bomb
    727- ,11- . 70012 3 CRAFTER XXXVII The' Role of Radiology in the Development of the Atomic Bomb Stafford L. Warren, M.D. THE BACKGROUND OF THE ATOMIC BOMB This chapter of the history of radiology in World War II tells t story, in necessarily brief form, of the role of radiology in the developm it of the atomic bomb that was first detonated at Alamogordo, N. 3Iex., on 6 July 1945, dropped for military purposes on Hiroshima, Japan, on 6 Au 1945,and at Nagasaki 3 days later. The atomic bomb had been in the making indirectly for at least 15 years and directly for the preceding 3 years. Since it was an entirely new development, a certain amount of background information is necessary to make clear the relation between its military aspects and its medical aspects, which were practically entirely radiologic. Therapy did not enter the picture in the Zone of Interior because there were no radiation casualties. Even when it was militarily over Japan in August 1945, each bomb was still a scientific device, an expel.' 'ental model, and the first of its ldnd. Before these bombs could be drop d, a new agency had to be created, the Manhattan District of the Corps of Engineers. The uranium oxide re- quired for the manufacture of the •nibs came from several sources, about a seventh of it from the network of lines in Colorado that had been actively developed early in the war to supp i, the large demand for vanadium in war industry. The uranium oxide for the Manhattan Project came not from further mining operations but fro refining the large stockpiles of vana- dium tailings at these mines.

  • Little Boys and Blue Skies: Drones Through Post-Atomic Eyes
    Little Boys and Blue Skies: Drones through Post-Atomic Eyes Derek Gregory ‘Hiroshima, an event that is not over: there is a continuity between the atomic bombing and the current situation of war.’ Rosalyn Deutsche, Hiroshima after Iraq Virtually as soon as the dream of human flight was realized, another replaced it: the tantalizing prospect of removing those magnificent men from their flying machines. Most of the early attempts were paper aeroplanes that never flew far from the drawing board; those few that did were largely unsuccessful. But the dream remained alive, and it was given a new lease of life by the deadliest weapon in human history: the atomic bomb. For all the glaring differences between atomic bombs and the Hellfire missiles fired from Predators and Reapers – in scales of investment; in range of delivery systems; in targets and blast radii; and in the time and space horizons of their explosive and toxic effects – nuclear weapons and drones have been entangled in myriad ways. Their development and deployment have involved geopolitical and geo-legal manoeuvres, sparked major oppositional campaigns by activist groups, and had major impacts on popular culture. But, as I seek to show in the pages that follow, the most persistent connection between them has been an unwavering focus on the vulnerability of American lives and the disposability of others’. Escape from Hiroshima Before flying the Enola Gay across the blue skies above Hiroshima in the early morning of 6 August 1945 Lt Col Paul Tibbets and his crew had repeatedly practiced bombing runs from their base at Wendover Army Air Field in Utah.

    Dismantling the Bomb and Managing the Nuclear Materials September 1993 OTA-O-572 NTIS order #PB94-107554 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Dismantling the Bomb and Managing the Nuclear Materials, OTA-O-572 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1993). For sale by the U.S. Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop: SSOP, Washington, DC 20402-932X” ISBN 0-16 -041968-9 ii Foreword he Nation has embarked on a bold new mission to enhance world peace through deep and lasting cuts in nuclear arsenals. It has removed thousands of nuclear weapons from active, deployed status and has begun eliminating delivery systems and dismantling the warheads themselves. Our old Cold War adversary,T the former Soviet Union, has taken similar steps. The United States and Russia have pledged to continue their programs of weapons retirement and warhead dismantlement, and are discussing methods of defining and achieving long-term goals. Such efforts are unprecedented and challenging; they require resources and talent as well as enduring dedication within Government institutions. People are concerned that the work be conducted so as to avoid the types of adverse environmental and health impacts that resulted from nuclear weapons production in the past. Experts have been investigating how to use, control, or dispose of the nuclear materials-plutonium and highly enriched uranium—recovered from dismantled warheads. For these reasons, the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs requested that the Office of Technology Assessment conduct a study of the key technical, policy, and institutional options to be considered in the Federal Government’s plans.

  • Scientists and the Ethics of Cold War Weapons Research Sarah Bridger Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Th
    Scientists and the Ethics of Cold War Weapons Research Sarah Bridger Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Sarah Bridger All rights reserved ABSTRACT Scientists and the Ethics of Cold War Weapons Research Sarah Bridger This dissertation examines scientists‘ views concerning the ethics of U.S. weapons research and military advising, through the changing politics and economy of the Cold War. After the development of the atomic bomb, the Manhattan Project generation of physicists posed a series of troubling ethical questions: To what extent are scientists responsible for the military applications of their work? What are the political obligations of technical experts? What are the ideal relations among academia, industry, and the military? During the post-Sputnik science boom, many elite physicists used their policy influence to encourage government support for scientific research and to secure stronger arms control measures, an effort that culminated in the ratification of the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963. But after the enthusiastic expansion of science advising in the late 1950s, the war in Vietnam sorely tested scientists‘ support for weapons research and government work. Key controversies that elicited substantial ethical debate included the use of chemical defoliants and gases in Vietnam and the participation of the secretive Jason scientists in developing an electronic barrier to prevent North Vietnamese incursions into South Vietnam. By the end of the decade, campuses and professional societies were riven by clashes over defense contracting and academic ―neutrality‖ in the context of the war in Vietnam.
