Hace 1 día · The Manhattan Project. During World War II, Dr. Wu was recruited to work on the Manhattan Project, the top-secret effort to develop the atomic bomb. She was assigned to the Columbia University team led by Enrico Fermi, where she played a crucial role in separating uranium isotopes.
Hace 8 horas · The name “barn” (yes, exactly the same name of the agricultural building usually built on farms) was invented by physicists in the 1940s, during Manhattan Project research on the atomic bomb, as they needed a code-name for a unit with which to quantify the cross-sectional area presented by the typical nucleus.
Hace 8 horas · Sand To Glass: Nuclear Blast Effects. Nuclear explosions can create glass from sand. The first recorded instance of this phenomenon occurred on July 16, 1945, when the Manhattan Project's Trinity test in New Mexico resulted in the formation of a green, glassy substance called trinitite. Trinitite is primarily composed of arkosic sand, which was ...
Hace 8 horas · The radioactive fission product 90Sr has a sufficient half-life (28.8 years) to be detected long after its appearance in the environment. After its uptake into the soil-edible plant system, it enters the food chain and represents a potential source of contamination that threatens human health. Due to these facts, tracking the distribution of the artificial radionuclide 90Sr in the soil ...
Hace 8 horas · The project should be fully operational from 2038. It is intended to replace Belgium's ageing BR2 research reactor, and will be used in a range of research functions including the demonstration of the concept of transmutation of long-lived radionuclides in nuclear waste, as well as producing radioisotopes for medicine.
Hace 8 horas · In tegenstelling tot een klassieke atoombom, waarbij de explosie optreedt als gevolg van een reactie van splijtende uranium- of plutoniumatomen, is er in een “vuile” atoombom geen ontploffing van een atoomlading. ... Maar als het resultaat van het onderzoek dat in het kader van het echte Manhattan-project werd uitgevoerd, atoombommen waren ...
Hace 1 día · Calutron operators at the Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge during the Manhattan Project. During World War II, East Tennessee was chosen for the production of weapons-grade fissile enriched uranium as part of the Manhattan Project, a research and development undertaking led by the U.S. to produce the world's first atomic bombs.
