Both Andrew and Andy are beautiful. We both like turtles, and electronics. If we were any more perfect, the world has a chance of exploding to death.

After Effects of the Atomic bombAfter Effects of the Atomic bomb
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/Atomic_bombing_of_Japan.jpg
The two bombs that changed the world. These bombs has been written down in history. These weapons are the most powerful in the world at this time. America knew that if we had not created this weapon first we will be destroyed. It is only natural for mankind to exploit our technology to harm or defeat others.

The bombing of Nagasaki was what led japan to lose in World War 2. On August 6 1945, Hiroshima was bombed, wiping out 90% of the city and immediately killing 80,000. Tens of thousands would later be killed due to radiation. After the destruction of the city, America was victorious, and Japan surrendered.

Bombing of Nagasaki

The skinny boy, was one of the two Atomic bombs used during the end of World War 2. It is the smaller of the two bombs, weighing only 9,700 pounds, or 500 less than the fat man. The Little boy was used by America on Japanese Cities to force surrender by the Japanese. The Little boy was the first atomic bomb used in warfare. It changed the future of World War 2 by causing japan to surrender. If we hadn’t WW2 might have played a different way.

The Fat Man was the bigger of the two bombs used on Japan during the End of World War 2. The smaller bomb was called the Little Boy, the Fat Man was used on Nagasaki and the Little Boys was used on Hiroshima. The Fat Man weighed about 10,300 pounds and was the 120th created atomic bomb. We used the bomb to destroy a Japanese city in order to force them to surrender.

By America creating the atomic bomb, we are the reason that Japan surrendered. If it weren’t for us, the war could’ve gone on a while longer. With the result being Japan winning maybe. Because we used the atomic bomb(s), World War II ended.

The Atomic bomb changed many things. For one, a new branch of science studying was created, nuclear studies, where they studied it in colleges and schools. If there was any good painters or other types of art, they were wiped out in the explosion.

Guiding Question
http://www.kingsacademy.com/mhodges/09_Biography/09a_In-Depth-Biographies/einstein2.htm
Albert Einstein was the first to discover the power that the atoms contained. He warned President Truman, warning that other countries are researchers are looking into it, and how it could create a powerful weapon. Because of this warning that Einstein gave Truman, the President was able to have his researchers look into it also. Because of this we were able to create an atomic bomb before any other country.

All of our rooms tie into the world of 1945 when the Manhattan project was coming around. This project ended the world war that lasted from 5 years plus. Even after Germany’s defeat the Japanese's people still fought the U.S. and we used the atomic bomb to end it.

The fat man was the larger of the three bombs used of the Japanese, during the time of WWII. While being made, the total weight was over 10,000 pounds used mostly for the radioactive materials for the explosion.

Albert Einstein found out that Atomic energy could be created and told the President that it could be used as a weapon. Because of this The President had scientists study this in a hope to beat the other scientists studying it already. It ended up that America had, using a bomb on the Japanese before anyone else could complete a nuclear bomb, winning us WWII.

The one who Discovered
Linked citation goes here
One myth is that Einstein helped create the atomic bomb. This myth is not true. Sure he helped discover the nuclear physics and how splitting an atom worked but he never was truly part of the Manhattan Project. Albert Einstein was one of the few people to help the Manhattan project get into the swing of things.

Nevada, a high desert biome has been used for testing of the nuclear bomb. This testing started back in the late 40’s. About 20 nuclear bombs have launched from 1946 to 1951. In this time they launched many bombs in different ways to launch the a-bomb. The launched the bomb by artillery, dropped bombs from plane, even underground.

Nevada Testing Location
http://www.onlinenevada.org/articles/nuclear-testing-nevada-1942-1950
Nuclear bombs are one of the most powerful weapon the world has seen to its day. As the bomb dropped on Hiroshima we already have tested the atomic bomb more times than you think. America need a place to tested this new weapon so they found the land of Nevada. The USA has tested more 1000 bombs!!! This is crazy because the world count is only 2119 bombs ever tested. We did half of all these bombings.

Craters from testing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_Test_Site
As big as Nevada is we have used 680-square-miles just for testing the nuclear bomb. All these bombs were used for testing. As we tested we researched the effects of the damage it would cause to buildings. They also tested bombs underwater to see the effect on boats and submarines if a nuke was launched underwater.

What we did with bombs
http://religionandpolitics.org/2012/10/08/nevada-a-novelist-tours-a-nuclear-testing-site/
The United States launched bombs in numerous ways for testing. Many examples are bombing from plane, artillery from ground, underwater, and many more. We did this because we wanted to test the new devolved weapon and then perfect our technique to use these bombs.

At the time of the explosion, 90% of the city was destroyed along with 80,000 people killed. That was not all though, due to another few ten thousand killed by the radiation the bomb emitted. Those who stayed alive from the outskirts where probably killed by the radiation. Because of this.

At the Time Disaster

The Modern Nuclear bomb is a weapon created with engineering, physical and chemical arrangements that created the nuclear bomb. This was Nuclear bomb was the first of its kind a “Pure fission weapon”. Nukes have changed shapes drastically from being something that was dropped to being missiles that fly thousands of miles. The modern bomb has almost 50 times or more powerful then the original atomic bomb dropped on August 9, 1945.

Modern Nuclear Bombs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_stations
As seen in the picture there world has been using nuclear plants almost in every. These power plants are use full to create electricity. Nuclear power plants produce above 1000 megawatts. But nuclear plants are the best power source. Some bad thing that Nuclear plants cause is that pollute the air. Also when a nuclear meltdown happens everyone in that section has to evacuate for health reasons.

Nuclear Plants
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_stations
Even though power plants can cause very devastating damage to a country. We still decide to use them. Some plants we use are•The Gravelines Nuclear Power Plant•The Bruce Nuclear Power Plant•The kashuwaszaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant•The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant
These are few of the many power plants in the world that are used.

List of Nuclear Plants

One of the biggest source of the atomic bomb is its radioactive material Uranium. Uranium is number 92 on the periodic table. The reason why the nuclear bomb cause so much damage is that they are splitting an atom in half. When you split an atom in half the atom becomes so then the atom will become in to energy causing the explosion.

Radiation is one of the many effects after the atomic bomb explodes. After the fireball and mushroom cloud there is still on really bad thing that kills people. Radiation!!! Due to what the material is used in the explosion causes this horrible poison to the human body that can stick around for a long time which is a scary thing..

When the atomic bomb was dropped it was heard around the world. Before you could blink your eyes the news was spread that the most powerful weapon in the world was just explode in enemy land. The news shocked millions that we had created this weapon.

Harry S. Truman was the president right when the atomic bomb was dropped. Truman was one of the people that actual authorized the atomic bomb to be dropped onto Hiroshima but when we heard nothing from the Japanese people we decide to nuke the Japanese people.
