The Atomic Bomb and Other Government Experiments

the first atomic Bomb created by the United States. The United

States supervised the development of the atomic bomb, under

the code name Manhattan Project, during World War II. The

first sustained nuclear chain reaction was achieved in

December 1942 at the University of Chicago under the direction

of Arthur Holly Compton. Key members of the research team

were Enrico Fermi and J. Robert Oppenheimer. Shortly after

the first bomb test was completed, atomic bombs were dropped

on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima (Aug. 6, 1945) and Nagasaki

The atomic bomb, which was developed secretly in the

United States during World War II, differed from all earlier

types of bombs. It contained radioactive substances that

underwent very rapid changes under certain conditions,

releasing immense quantities of light and heat.

For an atom bomb to explode, its radioactive ingredients,

an isotope of uranium called U-235 must be present in a large

quantity. The name of this quantity is called a critical mass.

The exact details of the bomb's construction remain secret, but

it probably contains two different quantities of radioactive
