- A breakthrough occurred in December 1944 when the first controlled nuclear chain reaction was created at the University of Chicago. 
- This breakthrough brought in great funds.
-With this breakthrough more conclusions were to be made and the predicted end date was 1944. ]]> 2018-03-23 12:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410013 20vuykis https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410041 Enrico Fermi - German refugee who first split the uranium atom under the university of Chicago

E. Teller - Father of the Hydrogen Bomb
Einstein - decorated scientist who helped with the research
Leo Sellard - German Refugee/Scientist who helped develop the first nuclear weapon

Chicago University - Site where the first nuclear chain reaction was sustained
Oak Ridge, Tennessee - The separation of U-235 from U-238 occurred here
New Mexico - First successful atomic test took place]]> 2018-03-23 12:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410073 20vuykis https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410141 - Late in 1944, Los Alamos began to shift from research to development and bomb production.
- The war in Europe was dying off and the U.S' attention went to Japan.
-Shipped as many scientists that could be spared from the MET Lab, Oak Ridge and Los Alamos.
-Hired every civilian machinist and used Army enlisted men for the work force
-Los Alamos also arranged for a rocket research team at the California Institute of Technology to aid in procurement, test fuses, and contribute to component development]]> 2018-03-23 12:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410141 20vuykis https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410238 The Manhattan Project was a secret military project created in 1942 to produce the first US nuclear weapon. ]]> 2018-03-23 12:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410238 20vuykis https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410529 Within minutes 9 out of 10 people half a mile or less from ground zero were dead. A half of a mile is about

-The height of Burj Dubai

In modern day there would be approximately 40,000 deaths and 85,000 injuries]]> 2018-03-23 12:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410529 20vuykis https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410572 The best estimate is 40,000 people died initially, with 60,000 more injured. Total injured approached 70,000, by 1946, and around 140,000 were estimated to have died within five years. From 1945-1950 more than one fourth of the population of Nagasaki was dead. ]]> 2018-03-23 12:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245410572 20vuykis https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245422643 I do not believe that another atomic bomb should be dropped for any reason, by any country. Atomic bombs destroy civilizations and populations, over a topical issue. Also, with new and stronger technology if an atomic bomb is dropped the world and environment could take hundreds of years to recover. ]]> 2018-03-23 12:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/20vuykis/lmv3rxy37f87/wish/245422643
