In result, the first meeting of the Advisory Committee on Uranium, the Biggs Uranium Committee, was held in Washington, D.C. turnerjacob00 https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413801 2017-04-15 02:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413801 Construction of an atomic bomb wasn't necessary because with political turmoil, this would have caused more disruption within the United States. turnerjacob00 https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413805 2017-04-15 02:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413805 1941 was a successful year because there was many discoveries.Philip Abelson developed uranium enrichment and Glenn Seaborg and Arthur Wall discovered plutonium. Also plutonium became the superior fissile material and the MAUD Committee completed its final report on the atomic bomb and proposed to build one. turnerjacob00 https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413808 2017-04-15 02:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413808 After the CP-1 nuclear rector was classified as a weapons project, many believed that it needed to be in the care of an organization who had experience with designing weapons so Colonel James Marshall had the Army Corps of the Engineers District take the atomic bomb plans and move them to a new group called the Manhattan Engineer District. turnerjacob00 https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413812 2017-04-15 02:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413812 It wasn't necessary for mainstream companies to get involved because with the problems that arose during the building of the atomic bomb, they could've suffered. turnerjacob00 https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413822 2017-04-15 02:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413822 The turning point for the Manhattan Project was when Manhattan Project figurehead J. Robert Oppenheimer showed plans of Emilio Segre’s fission measurements. This caused plans for the plutonium gun to be shelved. turnerjacob00 https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413830 2017-04-15 02:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413830 Because of Japanese military not giving up the fight, it was necessary for Truman to decide to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. It successfully ended the war. turnerjacob00 https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413836 2017-04-15 02:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/turnerjacob00/6qav077ddlfk/wish/166413836
