Einstein and several other scientists told Roosevelt of efforts in Nazi Germany to purify uranium-235, wh

43、ich could be used to build an atomic bomb. It was shortly thereafter that the United States Government began the serious undertaking known then only as “The Manhattan Project.“ Simply put, the Manhattan Project was committed to expediting research that would produce a viable atomic bomb. The most co

44、mplicated issue to be addressed in making of an atomic bomb was the production of ample amounts of “enriched“ uranium to sustain a chain reaction. At the time, uranium-235 was very hard to extract. In fact, the ratio of conversion from uranium ore to uranium metal is 500:1. Compounding this, the one

45、 part of uranium that is finally refined from the ore is over 99% uranium-238, which is practically useless for an atomic bomb. To make the task even more difficult, the useful U-235 and nearly useless U-238 are isotopes (同位素 ), nearly identical in their chemical makeup. No ordinary chemical extract

46、ion method could separate them; only mechanical methods could work. A massive enrichment laboratory/plant was constructed at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Harold C. Urey and his colleagues at Columbia University devised an extraction system that worked on the principle of gaseous diffusion, and Ernest O. La

47、wrence (inventor of the Cyclotron) at the University of California in Berkeley implemented a process involving magnetic separation of the two isotopes. Next, a gas centrifuge was used to further separate the lighter U-235 from the heavier, non fissionable U-238. Once all of these procedures had been

48、 completed, all that needed to be done was to put to the test the entire concept behind atomic fission (“splitting the atom,“ in laymans terms). Over the course of six years, from 1939 to 1945, more than $ 2 billion was spent during the history of the Manhattan Project. The formulas for refining ura

49、nium and putting together a working atomic bomb were created and seen to their logical ends by some of the greatest minds of our time. Chief among the people who unleashed the power of the atom was J. Robert Oppenheimer, who oversaw the project from conception to completion. Finally, the day came when all at Los Alamos would find out if “The Gadget
