The Atomic Bomb And Other Government Experiments
977 wordsThe atomic Bomb code named The Manhattan Project was 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.

Hydrogen Bomb Nuclear Fusion
2,740 wordsFusion reactions are inhibited by the electrical repulsive force that acts between two positively charged nuclei. For fusion to occur, the two nuclei must approach each other at high speed to overcome the electrical repulsion and attain a sufficiently small separation (less than one-trillionth of a centimeter) that the short-range strong nuclear force dominates. For the production of useful amounts of energy, a large number of nuclei must under go fusion: that is to say, a gas of fusing nuclei m...

Hydrogen Bomb Chain Reaction
409 wordsThe Hydrogen Bomb The history and workings of this massive bomb Back in 1905 Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. According to this theory the relation between mass and energy is expressed by the equation E = mc squared, which states that a given mass (m) is associated with an amount of energy (E) equal to this mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light (Encarta). So years later in 1939 two German chemists took this idea and applied it to a uranium atom, which wou...

Soviet Socialist Republics Atlantic Treaty Organization
2,883 wordsThe Cold War Blame Question As early as 1948, blame was being placed for the yet to be concluded Cold War era. In that day, the predominant view was that the fault lay not on the West, despite the uncleanness of intentions and the icy tone of the Truman administration? s relations with the USSR, but on the ever-secretive Russia. For over half a century the question of guilt in the Cold War has been debated; whether it was the west, with their lofty ideals and unclear aims, or the east, with thei...
