Los Alamos National Laboratory

Over the course of the last seventy years, the Los Alamos National Laboratories has created the illusion that inviting high profile military installations into the state of New Mexico has and continues to provide a stable economic system to the region, as well as, numerous social and economic benefits to the residents of the Los Alamos area and ultimately to the state. It does seem reasonable that every large military installation that budgets and spends large sums of money annually, would have at

the university's radiation laboratory (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory). He was the principal architect of the hydrogen bomb, first tested in 1952, and he strongly advocated that the United States continue the testing of thermonuclear weapons. He also made contributions to the application of nuclear explosives to peaceful uses. From 1954 to 1958, he served as Associate Director at the new Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. He became a consultant to the laboratory in 1952. In 1975 he retired

knew the world would never be the same. However, New Mexico played a major role in the advent of the atomic age even before the first testing of the Atomic Bomb. The reason New Mexico played a large role in the advent of the atomic age is because Los Alamos is the site of the bomb’s development, the bomb was tested in the remote southern New Mexico desert, and the atomic research in the following years in New Mexico. As yet another global war waged, it soon became evident to

Robert Oppenheimer, also known as “father of the atomic bomb”, was liable as the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during the time of the Manhattan Project.

a prestigious and well known private University. He graduated Harvard with a major in Chemistry in May of 1925. Later that year he enrolled at Cambridge University in England to study physics thus beginning his atomic research in the Cavendish Laboratory under J.J. Thomson. Then at the age of 22 he was invited to team up with Max Born at Gottingen University in Germany. There he developed the Born-Oppenheimer Method. This method was an important addition to the Quantum Molecular Theory. Quantum

The attempt to build the atomic bomb, “The Manhattan Project,” was a process of trial and error that was instrumental to the ending of World War II. The atomic bomb went through many phases, including the beginning stages of development, the building and testing of the bomb, and the use of the bomb to end the war. If the Americans had not developed the atomic bomb first, the war might have ended with Germany as the victor. The bomb was worked on by several scientists, who were more curious about

existing research had been performed at Columbia University in New York City. The project was based in Manhattan, New York. There was more than 30 laboratories and sites, also there was more than 130,000 people that were involved in different parts of nuclear research and development with three main locations were: Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Richland, Washington; and Los

The secret plan to develop and build the world’s first atomic bomb was named “The Manhattan Project.” It involved a process of trial and error that was ultimately successful in building an atomic bomb and ending World War II instrumental to the ending of World War II. The Manhattan Project was a covert name for a project to develop the world’s newest and most dangerous weapon, the atomic bomb. The Manhattan Project went through many phases including its development at the suggestion of several
