Harnessing of Nuclear Fission The Story Of The Atomic Bomb James Richard Fromm Late in 1938, in Berlin-Dahlem, an experiment in nuclear chemistry touched off a wave of excitement throughout the world which even reached the front pages of the most conservative newspapers. At the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry, only a few miles from Hitler's Chancellery, three researchers had proceeded to repeat some experiments first performed by Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) in Rome in 1934. Enrico Fermi The Italian scientist, in an attempt to produce the Curies' artificial radioactivity in the very heavy elements by bombarding them with neutrons, believed he had created an element (No. 93) even heavier than uranium. Two of these scientists in Berlin-Dahlem, Otto Hahn (1879-1968) and Lise Meitner (1878-1968), had already confirmed Fermi's results, and by 1936 it was proposed to name this new element Ansonio after an ancient name of Italy. Otto Hahn Lise Meitner Fritz Strassmann Later, Fritz Strassmann (1902-1980) joined the team and together they continued with these experiments. On January 6, 1939, they observed a strange result which they published two months later in Die Naturwissenschaften . According to Hahn and Strassmann, the bombardment of uranium with neutrons had split the uranium atom almost in half! The smash-up had produced what they had reason to believe were two different and lighter elements, isotopes of barium and krypton (U

World War II: Atomic BombThe Manhattan Project Figure 1.. German Science Germany in the early 20th century had the strongest scientific establishment in Europe. German scientists routinely received the largest number of Nobel prizes in scientific fields. And physics was one of the field that German scientists dominated. This did not change until the NAZIs seized power in 1933. After the NAZI seizure, Jewish scientists as well as anti-NAZIs were dismissed from their positions. After 1933, America became increasingly dominate in Nobel scientific awards. Despite a decline in German scientific dominance, the NAZIs still had access to the huge scientific establishment that had been built by Imperial Germany. The NAZIs drew heavily on this establishment for their weapons and armament program. Another factor was the weakening of academic standards in German schools and universities. This was a development that would have affected Germany in the long term, but did not have an immediate impact on the German scientific capability during World War II. Kristallnacht (November 1938) The NAZI campaign against Jews culminated in Kristallnacht, an brutal explosion of violence against Jews in Germany. Before Kristallnacht, the NAZIs had killed Jews in concentration camps and prisons behind closed doors. On Kristallnacht Jews were attacked and killed openly on the street or in their homes. There intentions cold no longer be doubted. The consequences for the atomic bomb project that among leading physicists were many Jews or anti-NAZIs. These men recognized the true nature of the NAZI regime more than others the potential danger of a NAZI atomic bomb. After Kristallnacht, even men who might have had moral qualms about building an atomic bomb, were prepared to do virtually anything to stop the NAZIs.

Manhattan Project From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Manhattan Center) Next (Mani) This page is about the World War II nuclear project. The Manhattan Project conceived and created the first nuclear weapons and before using them in combat tested them just once in the Trinity test of July 16, 1945, which is shown here. The Manhattan Project was the project undertaken during World War II by the United States , the United Kingdom and Canada to develop the first nuclear weapon (atomic bomb). Formally designated as the Manhattan Engineering District (MED) Manhattan Project refers specifically to the period of the project from 1941-1946 under the control of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, under the administration of General Leslie Groves, with its scientific research directed by the American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer The project's roots lay in Allied scientists' fears from the 1930s that Nazi Germany might be developing nuclear weapons of its own. Born out of a small research program in 1939, the Manhattan Project eventually employed more than 130,000 people and cost nearly $2 billion USD ($24 billion in 2008 dollars based on the consumer price index). It resulted in the creation of multiple production and research sites that operated in secret. The three primary research and production sites of the project were the plutonium-production facility at what is now the Hanford Site in Washington state, the
