02 HOW WAS IT MADE? Introduction to atomic bomb-
WHAT IS ATOM? WHAT IS NUCLEAR ENERGY? First of all, we all know that atoms are made up of electrons, protons and neutrons, they also have an centre named nucleus, and everything is made up form them.Now, some atoms are special, like uranium or plutonium.The have nuclei, which means that they can break apart if something hits them, and they also release an immense amount of energy in the form of heat and light.This is what we call nuclear energy.
HOW WAS IT CONSTRUCTED? Scientist figured that if we make a lot of these special atoms together and break apart all of them, they could create a huge explosion.This explosion is what we call an ATOMIC BOMB. To make an atomic bomb, scientists need to bring a lot of these special atoms close together. They do this by shooting tiny particles at them. This explosion is so big that it can cause a lot of destruction. That's why atomic bombs are very dangerous and have been used in the past, causing a lot of harm.
04 THE ATTACK ON HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI. The final attack!
THE ATTACK ON HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI . On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombings killed between 130,000 and 250,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict. A ccording to this line of thinking, the United States deployed the plutonium bomb on Nagasaki to make clear the strength of its nuclear arsenal, ensuring the nation's supremacy in the global power hierarchy. The two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of people, and their effects are still being felt today. By the end of 1945, the bombing had killed an estimated 140,000 people in Hiroshima, and a further 74,000 in Nagasaki. THE FINAL ATTACK:
THE ATTACK ON HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI. Y ou can give a brief description of the topic you want to talk about here. For example, if you want to talk about Mercury, you can say that it’s the smallest planet in the entire Solar System
01 OPPENHEIMER AND HISTORY. The genius behind atomic bomb…
OPPENHEIMER AND HISTORY. T he 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 support from 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. The nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the bombs. The Army component was designated the Manhattan District, as its first headquarters were in Manhattan; the name gradually superseded the official codename, Development of Substitute Materials, for the entire project. The project absorbed its earlier British counterpart, Tube Alloys. The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939, but employed nearly 130,000 people at its peak and cost nearly US$2 billion (equivalent to about $24 billion in 2021).[1] Over 90 percent of the cost was for building factories and to produce fissile material, with less than 10 percent 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. THE MANHATTAN PROJECT:
OPPENHEIMER AND HISTORY J. Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the laboratory at New Mexico, where the bomb was designed. The theoretical work of how the atomic bomb would function had to be converted into a practical weapon that could be dropped from an aeroplane and explode it’s target.
03 NUCLEAR FISSION.
NUCLEAR FISSION. Nuclear fission is the exact opposite of nuclear fusion. It is the process of launching an electron at a nucleus at the right speed, fast enough to split the nucleus into nuclei, causing the atom to split.
NUCLEAR FUSION. Nuclear fusion can only happen after nuclear fission takes place. It is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy. The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy.
