The plutonium used in the first atomic weapon (the Trinity Device) was processed at the Hanford Reservation site in Washington State.

The uranium used in the first actual bomb (Little Man, dropped on Hiroshima), was refined at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

When did scientist first learn to split atoms?

Scientists first successfully split the atom in 1938. This significant achievement was made by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, with the help of Lise Meitner's interpretation of the results. This discovery marked the beginning of nuclear fission research and ultimately led to the development of nuclear energy and atomic bombs.


How and why does atomic nuclear decay occur?

Atomic nuclear decay occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus releases energy in the form of radiation to become more stable. This process can happen due to the imbalance of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, leading to the emission of alpha, beta, or gamma particles. The decay helps the nucleus achieve a more balanced state and reduces its energy level.

What is the nuclear symbol and the hyphen notation for a carbon isotope with a mass number of 14 and atomic number of 6?

Note that since all carbon isotopes have an atomic number of 6, it is not necessary to state the atomic number; the fact that it is carbon means that it has the atomic number 6. So the isotope with a mass number of 14 is called carbon 14. As a symbol, it is C with a superscript 14 (which I am not able to type).

Is nuclear fusion a gas liquid or solid?

Nuclear fusion is a process that occurs at extremely high temperatures and involves the merging of atomic nuclei to release energy. It is not in a specific state of matter like gas, liquid, or solid, as it involves the transformation of matter at the atomic level.


How does nuclear fission related from nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion:Two or more atomic nuclei join together to form a single nucleus.Energy is released.Nuclear fission:One atomic nucleus splits into two or more separate nuclei, plus other fragments.Energy is released.
