...bomb no longer applied, work continued nonetheless. Of course, the Japanese hadn't been working on any atomic weapons. Neither had the Germans, for that matter, as scientists learned after the war. But the project at Los Alamos continued. The justification for continuing the development of the A-bomb never becomes clear, unfortunately, because the colleagues of Oppenheimer Else has chosen to interview don't really have an explanation...
...runaway son of a nuclear A-bomb...
...massive project marks a grim scientific milestone of sorts. While retrospective studies were made of Japanese A-bomb victims after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this is the first ever undertaken to examine effects of low-level radiation from essentially the time of exposure. The HEW studies at a glance...
Army soldiers and Utah residents exposed to fallout from the A-bomb tests of the 1950s and early '60s, the workers all wore dosimeters-simple instruments for measuring radiation. Their records will be maintained and the workers observed for radiation effects like leukemia. The study's sponsors: the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission...
...years, the U.S. government played the same secrecy game with the atomic bomb, ostensibly protecting America's security by keeping the A-bomb "secret" under wraps. Then three undergraduates (one of them a Harvard student who managed only a B- in Physics 55) independently designed workable A-bombs without access to classified information, exploding the government's logic of using information control to contain the spread of nuclear weapons. Unphased, the government simply classified the student's designs...
