Sample Book Insights:
#1 In July 1945, the Fermi family moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico, where Laura worked as a medical assistant for Dr. Louis Hempelmann. The site had been selected in part because it was within the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, established in 1942.
#2 On July 16, 1945, Laura Fermi heard talk of a blazing light seen at dawn by one of the male patients at Los Alamos hospital, who was awake at 5:30 in the morning. She was eager to learn what had taken place, and why such an unearthly light had preceded the Sun.
#3 The atomic bomb was a huge success for the Americans, and they used it to destroy the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On August 9, 1945, the 10,800-pound plutonium-based Fat Man bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.
#4 The Manhattan Project, which was tasked with developing an atomic bomb, implemented three enormous secret facilities for specific science goals: the Gas diffusion and electromagnetic processes at Oak Ridge, Tennessee; the nuclear reactors capable of producing the necessary plutonium at Hanford, Washington; and the design and actual construction of the bomb at Los Alamos in New Mexico.
