The Theory of Relativity proved it was possible, on paper at least, to split the atom using these What are neutrons? Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared What is E=mc²? The process of splitting the atom What is nuclear fission? When neutrons released from fission split more atoms and release more neutrons What is a chain reaction? This has to be greater than 100% (1.00) to produce a chain reaction What is the K Factor? The point at which a chain reaction becomes irreversible What is critical mass? Because nitrogen molecules in the air absorb neutrons, chain reactions must take place in this What is a vacuum? Because this element is naturally unstable, it is most suitable for nuclear fission What is uranium? These two elements are used to control a chain reaction because they absorb huge amounts of neutrons What are cadmium and boron? The Manhattan Project was created out of fear that this country would build an atomic bomb What is Nazi Germany? By 1939 Germany’s atomic research program was answering directly to this What is the Army Weapons Department (Heereswaffenamt)? Many German scientists were no longer welcome in their home country because they were this What is Jewish? Albert Einstein wrote a letter to this President, warning him that the Nazis wanted to build an atomic bomb Who is Franklin Roosevelt? The fate of two German agents arrested near a Manhattan Project lab What is they were never heard from again? The world’s first chain reaction took place on a squash court here What is the University of Chicago? They knew about the Manhattan Project because they ran a spy ring in the U.S. Who are the Russians? The world’s first atomic explosion took place here on July 16, 1945 What is New Mexico? Only he could decide whether to use the atomic bomb or not Who is President Truman? Fighting on this island cost the Americans 50,000 casualties What is Okinawa? Codename for the invasion of Japan What is Operation Downfall? Conquering all of Japan could have cost this many American casualties What is one million? These Japanese suicide pilots sank 34 U.S. warships and killed 5,000 sailors What are kamikazes? If the Japanese were warned about the target of the atomic bomb, they might move these there Who are American prisoners of war? Atomic bombs were dropped on these two Japanese cities What are Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Waste What is “squander”? Payback What is “retribution”? Neglecting What is “dereliction”? Slaughter What is “carnage”? Capable of operating on land and water What is “amphibious”? Make your wager Intact cities were chosen as targets for the atomic bomb because their total destruction would produce this What is maximum psychological shock?
