The military project to develop the US atomic bomb was the Manhattan Project. It included the first successful fission chain reaction in December, 1942, and culminated in the first atomic test explosion at Alamagordo, NM on July 16, 1945. Two bombs built under the project were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The mission on Hiroshima began at 8:16 a.m. on August 6, 1945. The time of actual destruction and impact was 10:34 am according to a clock in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum on display. This antique wind-up pendulum 31-day clock survived the blast half intact.
