...separation of blood components would be of vital importance in the event of an atomic bomb blast. Dr. Shields Warren, of the New England Deaconess Hospital in Boston and a member of the medical team that visited Nagasaki in September 1945, has cited three distinct and separate problems in the treatment of radiation victims...
...does not yet claim to have an H-bomb. But it was clear that the atom has come a long way since the early days at Alamogordo. To allay U.S. worries about being on the receiving end of weapons several times more powerful than those that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Brigadier General James Cooney, radiation safety adviser to the task force, said: "The immediate radiation hazard from [an] air burst disappears after the first two minutes.

During the Manhattan spy trial (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), confessed spy David Greenglass, who worked as a machine-shop foreman at Los Alamos, described sketchily the mechanism of the A-bomb used at Nagasaki. His testimony was not transcribed. But it was not suppressed entirely. The spies on trial could not be convicted without proof that they had given real and vital secrets to the Russians...
