Atomic nucleus

BIKINI ATOLL Bikini Atoll is just a normal, small, island-like landform, right? Wrong! Bikini Atoll was where one of the most dangerous hydrogen bombs the US has ever created was tested. Today, 60 years after it was tested, the islands are still deserted due to radiation! I'm going to tell you what happened there, how its like now, and talk a bit about the damage. What happened there? Early in the morning on March 1, 1954, a hydrogen bomb named Bravo was detonated on the surface of a reef…

the atomic bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is justified still goes on today. There are those that believe that President Truman made the right choice and those who believe that other options were ignored. The U.S. air force dropped the atomic bombs hoping to intimidate the Japanese which resulted in the surrender of Japan to the Allies on September 2, 1945. Although Japan attacked Pearl Harbor first on December 7, 1941, the casualties were far less than the fatalities in Japan. The atomic…

States dropping the Atomic Bomb justifiable? I decided to research and argue this topic because the Atomic Bomb being reasonable is very controversial. The argument can be argued either way and it is debatable for multiple reasons. Inclusive, many Americans and people around the world are in favor for not dropping the bomb. They claim it was the initiation of human destruction and against inhuman to kill that large amount of people. Yet others believe that without the Atomic Bomb Germany and…

The Enola Gay is a B-29 bomber aircraft that was used to end World War II. American technological advancements surged ahead in the 1940s and the war with Japan resulted in the production of the 9,700 pound atomic bomb named “Little Boy”. This bomb was dropped onto the city Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 by Enola Gay’s pilot Colonel Paul W. Tibbets. Four years earlier Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the main American naval port, had been bombed by the Japanese on December 7, 1941. This killed nearly…

From 1942 to 1946, the development of the Manhattan Project and the decision by President Harry S. Truman to drop the Atomic Bomb on the Japanese to bring an end to the Pacific War was justified in terms of diminishing both casualty and expenditure costs for both countries. Paragraph 1: Birth of the Manhattan Project In order to escape persecution in Germany, scientists such as Albert Einstein fled their homes to the United States in an effort to warn the United States government of German’s…

mistakes in our lives. We can learn from our mistakes and move on to a hopeful future by using the knowledge learned from these actions and empathy towards those affected. The number of lives nuclear weapons have taken or ruined is astounding. The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima destroyed most of the city and killed around 100,000 people total. Miss Toshiko Sasaki, a survivor whose story was told in Hiroshima by John Heresy, was crushed underneath a large piece of furniture where she worked.…

On August 6 and 9 of 1945, the United States deployed the world’s first atomic bombs on the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombs, code-named “Little Boy” and “Fat Man,” killed over 100,000 people and thousands more during the following months. The use of the two bombs caused lots of controversy and the topic is still largely debated today. Many argue that the use of the bombs ended the war, but that does not justify the usage of them when other alternatives were available. The…

Justinh Truong 25 November 2014 Opinion Paper Two atomic bombs dropped on the 6th and 9th of August 1945 annihilated all of Hiroshima and Nagasaki while killing nearly 210,000 people. “White Light Black Rain” and “Victory in the Pacific” both portray the devastating history behind the conflict between Japan and the United States. “Victory in the Pacific” examines the difficulties facing the projected U.S. assault on Japan and the suicidal mentality of the Japanese who fought with pride and…

Most people have heard of the exclusive and instantly activated cancer card, but no one ever mentions an expiration date. I assume that most people stop using their card at some point, but I'm just as certain that there are people out there who will use it indefinitely. After five years, when we get the “all clear” from our doctors, we are released from the chokehold that cancer can have on us. We become survivors, leave cancer behind, and move on with our lives. It's reasonable to think that…

Its Harry S Truman’s decision to drop two atomic bombs on industrial cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, during World War Two. Truman made the right decision to drop those bombs, as it would end the war and save millions of lives. Also, those bombs would have been utilized any ways as they took years and millions of dollars to develop. This was assuredly a disputable topic in American history, yet it was a fundamental one too. Dropping the atomic bomb was a reasonable choice. Germany…
