Brainstorm on Japan. Brainstorm on Hiroshima. What do you know about atomic bombs?
Background
1. Hiroshima
Hiroshima lies on the delta at the heland Sea. It is the capital of Hiroshima prefecture and the chief industrial and population center of the Chugoku region.
Background
The Japanese dedicated post-war Hiroshima to peace. The ruins of the Institute of Industrial Development, with its warped dome, were preserved as a symbol of the terror of destruction. Peace Park, which was laid out nearby, includes a cenotaph纪念碑 memorializing the victims and a museum housing relics of the holocaust. A special hospital built in Hiroshima treats people suffering from exposure to radiation and conducts research into its effects. The city now is an important producer of iron and steel, motor vehicles, tractors, ships, machinery, sewing needles, paper, textiles, and food products.
At 8: 15 a. m. on August 6,1945 , the first atomic bomb was exploded over a point near the center of Hiroshima, destroying almost everything within a radius of 6,000 to 8, 000 feet 1,830—2,450 meters) . The damage beyond this area was considerable, and over 71,000 people were killed instantly. Many more later died of injuries and the effects of radiation. Survivors are still dying of leukemia ( 白 血 病 ) , pernicious anemia ( 恶 性 贫 血 症 ) ， and other diseases induced by radiation. Almost 98% of the buildings were destroyed or severely damaged.
Background
The fierce light that followed, almost blinding in spite of their closed eyes, was impossible to describe. In a brief moment, the light within 20 miles was equal to several suns at midday. It was seen in places as far as 180 miles away. At all Trinity observation points, scientists, officers and technicians were congratulating each other enthusiastically. Fat Man had worked: the Manhattan Project was a success.
Hiroshima began as a settlement around a castle built in 1593 by the feudal lord Terumoto Mori. The castle took the name Hiroshima (“Broad island” ) from its location in the Ota River delta. In time, bridges provided access to the delta, and today more then 80 of them connect the city’s six delta islands with one another and with the mainland.
Background
By the beginning of World War II, Hiroshima was the 7th largest city in Japan, with a population of 350, 000. During the war it was a regional army headquarters as well as a major rail center and producer of war materials.
Background
By October 1944 the plans for Trinity Camp were drawn up and two months later construction was already completed.
Late at night on July 14,1945, the work of assembly was practically finished, and Fat Man (the bomb) was left on the tower, under armed guard.
General Groves arrived at Trinity Camp Sunday afternoon, July 15,1945. The explosion was set for go at 5:30 a. m.
At 5:10 the countdown began. At minus 45 seconds, Joe Mckibben threw the switch that started the precise automatic timer.
After the Meiji明治 Restoration (1868), Hiroshima expanded as a modern transportation and industrial center . Major port facilities were completed by 1889, and five years the city was linked with Kobe神户 and Shimonoseki下关,即马关 by rail. Coal from northern Kyushu and from foreign sources supplied Hiroshima’s iron and steel industry, whose products in turn were utilized in a growing engineering industry, notably in shipbuilding and the manufacture of cars and trucks. Rayon and paper were manufactured from local timber.
On July 16, 1945 the first test bomb, nicknamed Fat Man, was successfully exploded on the Alamogordo bombing range in Southern New Mexico.
Months before enough plutonium钋 was available, a special group was assigned the task of preparing the first atomic test. From a military point of view, the explosion meant the dress rehearsal for the real dropping of an atomic bomb on the enemy from the air. Several sites had been considered and inspected and finally the desert area called Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death), part of the Alamogordo bombing range in southern New Mexico, was selected in the summer of 1944 with General Groves’s approval. It was given the code name Trinity.
“Ten seconds.” Allison’s voice pierced the complete silence. “Nine, eight, seven …” Everyone closed his eyes and shielded his face with his hands. At 5:29 a m. Allison shouted, “now.”
August 5, 1945, was a Sunday, but Leslie Groves had been in his office since early morning. The day before, he had received a message from his deputy in Tinian (a Pacific island), informing him that weather conditions were finally expected to be good, the uranium bomb was being readied and the B-29 carrying it was scheduled to take off the next day.
Background
2. The atomic bomb
The building of the atomic bomb is called the Manhattan Project. Brigadier General Leslie R. Groves was given the job to head the project.
Background
Hiroshima owes its early development to its position on the key land and water routes between central Honshu本州 and the island of Kyushu九州. The Asano family. Who controlled the Hiroshima area throughout most of the Tokugawa德川家族 period (1603-1867), promoted the city’s trade and encouraged the establishment of industries.
