Hiroshima By: Megan, Joie, Bridget, Michael, and Charlie

Vocabulary Fission: Splitting of nucleus of an atom into nuclei of lighter atoms, accompanied by the release of energy. Fusion: A thermonuclear reaction in which nuclei of light atoms join to form nuclei of heavier atoms Manhattan Project: The codename of the project of constructing the bomb. Atomic Bomb: A bomb whose explosive force comes from a chain reaction based on nuclear fission

Vocabulary Continued Nuclear Radiation: radiation in form of elementary particles emitted by an atomic nucleus Critical Mass: The amount of a given fissionable material necessary to sustain a chain reaction at a constant rate. Radioactive Fallout: Is the residual hazard from a nuclear explosion, so it “falls out” of the atmosphere after the explosion.

Historical Context  Bomb dropped August 6th, 1945  United States dropped bomb Hiroshima during final stages World War II

Constructing the Bomb  Albert Einstein wrote president  Manhattan project codename project  Whitesand, New Mexico.  scientists participated research J. Robert Oppenheimer, General Leslie Groves  tested Trinity Site,1959

Isotope’s of “Little Boy” and “Fat Man”  Isotope “Little Boy” uranium based, used plutonium as fissile material.  isotope “Fat Man” Plutonium-239, Uranium-238 surrounded material.  Pu --> U He  U --> Th He

The Concept of Fission  U-235  Plutonium, Thorium undergo fission  Nucleus split by bombarding neutrons  Barium-144 forms Krypton-89  Neutrons sustain it

Critical Mass  Smallest amount fissile material headed for nuclear chain reaction  Depends upon its nuclear properties

Size and Weight of Little Boy  Size is 9.8ft, 3m, 28 in, 71 cm  Weight: 8,000 pounds or 4,000 kg

Triggered on ground impact?  Trigger over ground to cause larger area affect.

Destructive force of Little Boy  “Little Boy” affected Hiroshima and Nagasaki  About 70,000 people died initial blast of atomic bomb

Health Affects  Death from radiation  Side affects vomiting, diarrhea and many types of cancer
