Story Of The Atomic Bomb
The story of the atomic bomb
Have you ever wondered about how the disasters at Hiroshima and Nagasaki came about? Well I have too, and here is what I got for answers.The atomic bomb was built out of necessity in order to protect our country because we found out that the Germans had already discovered nuclear fission, it was possibly the most devastating project in the U.S, and it also opened up important new studies of radiation. The first atomic bomb was built out of necessity because Albert Einstein and physicist Enrico Fermi discovered that the Germans had discovered nuclear fission, which is what was needed to create an atomic bomb so Albert Einstein signed a letter to president Roosevelt urging for him to start a top secret project …show more content…
The next area of concern was security first of all of course all of the buildings were surrounded by barbed wire and all of the workers had to show a badge, but on top of that, there were security officers and spies that were working 24/7 all over the world not just at the buildings where the Manhattan Project was taking place trying to uncover and information that was leaking out about the top secret …show more content…
For there were thousands of innocent lives lost to the bombs and those who survived were affected both emotionally and physically for the rest of their life. But not only were the people and animals affected by the bombs, but so was the plant life because after a bomb explodes it sends out millions of tiny particles that in the case of an atomic bomb are extremely radioactive so when they hit the ground they are absorbed into the water that the plants are using causing an almost immediate death, but luckily since the bomb was still a ways away from the ground when it detonated most of the fallout landed on top of the ground and was either blown away or washed away by the rain so the effects on agriculture are not still felt today. Overall the Manhattan Project was a very important, yet secretive part of our history that helped us prevent the Germans from taking over the world opened up new areas of research and ended what was possibly the most secretive project in the U.S. Though it may well have been the most uncalled for important event in history.
