2012 The Daily Sheeple. "Nuclear-bomb-explosion - The Daily Sheeple." The Daily Sheeple. N.p., n.d. Web. 05 Dec. 2012. This website contains a picture of an atomic bomb that uses nuclear fission of uranium 235; the bomb appears to be exploding over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. This website was important to our project because it gives the viewer a visual of what shape size and power the atomic bomb has. Advising of Importance of Uranium in Making a Bomb - Aug. 2, 1939. Digital image. Einstein/Sachs Document Collection. Manhattan Project Heritage Preservation Association, Inc, n.d. Web. 04 Jan. 2012. This site contains the letters that were written between Albert Einstein and Franklin Roosevelt right before the bombing of Pearl Harbor during World War II. The letters were sent by Einstein to help explain to Roosevelt about how Albert was worried that the Nazis were getting too powerful and America needed to make nuclear weaponry before the Nazis did. This website was important to our project because it contained the letters sent between Albert and Franklin that were the reason the Manhattan project began. The First Atomic Weapons. Digital image. The First Atomic Weapons. The EnviroLink Network, The Federation of American Scientists, 30 Mar. 1999. Web. 27 Dec. 2012. This site contains pictures of the first atomic weapons, one of which is the blueprints that were used to design the first Fat Man atomic bomb. This site was important to our research because it displayed a picture of the blueprints that were used on the Fat Man bomb. Hansen, Amy. Nuclear Energy: Amazing Atoms. New York, NY: PowerKids, 2010. Print. Hansen helps explain to the reader all of the events and problems in the past, that led up to the discovery of todays level of sophisticated nuclear power with a detailed and informing time on. This was important to the project because helped us expand our timeline with information it did not stop with the books on the go to the website contain

Hardy, Clarence. Atomic Rise and Fall: The Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1953-1987. Peakhurst, N.S.W.: Glen Haven, 1999. Print. The invention of the nuclear bomb or our project on it wouldn't have taken place without the discovery of uranium by Martin Klaproth in the year 1789 which stated it all from the x-ray by electrify currents moving through a glass rod to the nuclear bomb its self, including as a spontaneous event where emitting an alpha or beta particle from the nucleus created a new kind of element founded by Ernest Rutherford. He also found particle arrangement by adding alpha particles in a radium source. By 1939 developments spread like a wild fire in many large labs with talk of finally able to harness nuclear fission. Bohr soon proposed that fission could more likely appear in the uranium-235 isotope rather then the isotope U-238 because the fission would appear more in slow moving neutrons rather then fast moving ones. Before 1939, in 1930, the Russians had already started on nuclear physics in due time. By 1940 remarkable progress had been made on small amounts of money but all work keep secret from others. Kelly, Cynthia C. The Manhattan Project: The Birth of the Atomic Bomb in the Words of Its Creators, Eyewitnesses, and Historians. New York: Black Dog & Leventhal, 2007. Print. This book explains the Manhattan project, which is a research program that was formed to help create what they believed was the world's most powerful weapon: the atomic bomb. The Manhattan project and its many scientists began with a small study, and continued in the scientific and military community to attempt to be the first country to obtain this ultimate power, for at the time Americans had feared that our continental neighbors were trying to create the same project. The book also goes on to tell us about many other parts of the project like the cost, the history and the secrecy that had to be used to keep this quiet. This book was important to our project because it helps explain the Manhattan project, the first project where scientists tried to use nuclear energy as a dangerous weapon. Lawrence, W. H. "Soviet Declares War on Japan." On This Day. The New York Times, n.d. Web. 29 Dec. 2012. <http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0809.html>. This website by The New York Times shows the article it published on August 9, 1945 about the

bombing of Nagasaki. It is a current event that shows the reaction to the actual bombing. Lawton, Clive. Hiroshima: The Story of the First Atom Bomb. Cambridge, MA: Candlewick, 2004. Print. Lawton describes the historical events that lead up to the dropping of the bombs, the damage caused by the bombs and the long lasting effects of the bombs. This book was important to our research because it helps explain it very well detailed displays and with and with pictures that show the real of fact that the bomb had on the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. N.D. "Atomic Bomb Explosion." www.youtube.com. YouTube, n.d. Web. 05 Jan. 2013. This site contains a video that shows the explosion of an atomic bomb. This helped our website by representing the size, power, and intensity of a real atomic bomb. Radiation in Perspective: Applications, Risks, and Protection. Paris: Nuclear Energy Agency, OECD, 1997. Print. Around the time of World War II they started up on the production of the radiation plants developing nuclear weapons and huge amounts of electricity with all new longer lasting power life, The first nuclear reactor to produce electricity but as a small test for a larger modal to give off stronger longer lasting power, including the Chernobyl-type RBMK as a high power channel reactor for electricity until 1959 soon becoming a research facility, also by the 1950 the Obninsk created fast breeder reactors including lead-bismuth reactors for navy use only. Soon the Navy gained Intel and developed the Pressurized Water Reactor for submarine uses. Finally The Mark 1 prototype for Navy use came into the picture March 1953 in Idaho helping the launch of the first nuclear submarine called the Nautilus. Raum, Elizabeth. Nuclear Energy. Chicago, IIl.: Heinemann Library, 2008. Print. Raum tells the reader nuclear energy is a poorly used but powerful source of energy. It is only 6.3% of all the types of fuels used worldwide. She helps explain the history of nuclear energy, and how scientists started to learn they could take the energy out of an atom by splitting the atom (preferably uranium 235), and how it is healthier for the environment as long as it is contained properly. This was important to the project because it helps explain past,

present and potential future of nuclear energy. Shalett, Sidney. "First Atomic Bomb Dropped on Japan." On This Day. The New York Times, n.d. Web. 29 Dec. 2012. <http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0806.html>. This website by The New York Times shows the article it published on August 6, 1945 about the bombing of Hiroshima. It is a current event that shows the reaction to the actual bombing.

Streissguth, Thomas. Nuclear Weapons: More Countries, More Threats. Berkeley Heights, NJ: Enslow, 2000. Print. Streissguth guides the reader through a detailed story about nuclear weapons, from the beginning of the discovery of nuclear energy and radiation to the very end. This was important to the project because it contained text that no other book we had read did, it showed explanatory pictures to give the reader visual images, used very detailed summaries on all of its subjects and showed the date and possible time of all the events that had occurred. "Was It Necessary to Drop the Bomb?" Was It Necessary to Drop the Bomb? N.p., n.d. Web. 20 Jan. 2012. This website contains a picture of the Fat Man atomic bomb, which was used to bomb the Japanese city of Nagasaki on 8/9/1945. This website was important to our project because it shows the reader what the Fat Man Bomb looks like, and why it was named the Fat Man. Weart, Spencer R. Nuclear Fear: A History of Images. Cambridge, MA: Harvard UP, 1988. Print. The Manhattan Project took place with Americans increasing their input time in fear of losing to the British, but rose to the call and beating the British filled many feared souls with hope, But many months later we found out that US program would cost over $1 million for the building of the bomb. By the end of World War II it would take as long as four to five years to make nuclear friendly energy but weapons development still went on, taking place on both sides of the iron curtain. Many were stuck on both sides of the wall afraid to death trying get the little glimpse of the other side, maybe make a run for the other side, knowing at any second could be their last moment on earth blown sky high

from the monster of the sky the nuclear bomb. They even started up camps on the other side to hold people slowly killing them off one by one, killing them faster if the didn't not follow the rules of the camp leader.
