Maps and positions

• Pearl Harbor, roadstead in the island of


Oahu, in the archipelago of Hawaii, to
about 10 km to the west of the city of
Honolulu, and that is one of the main naval

Creation of the bomb
• J. Robert Oppenheimer In 1943, as director of the center
of Los Alamos, the physicist American J. Robert
Oppenheimer was put in charge of to elaborate the first
atomic bomb

• The first atomic bomb (bomb A), a contraption to the


plutonium of a 22 kt strength, has been tested July 16,
1945 in the United States, close to Alamogordo (New-
Mexico).
The New Mexico bomb.
Zero hour – finishing of the war
• August 6, 1945, the bombardier Enola Gay

Called “fat Man”
• The Japanese emperor asks for the capitulation
the following day. September 2, 1945, the
conflict stops officially.
Effect of the atomic bomb

• . The very high temperatures reaches at the time of a


nuclear explosion result in the formation of an
incandescent gas mass, the ball of fire. For an explosion
of 10 Kt in the atmosphere, the ball of fire reaches a
diameter of about 300 m. For a bomb of 10 Mt, the ball
of fire can reach 4 km of diameter

• The thermal radiance provokes serious burns. An


explosion of 10 kt in the atmosphere could provoke, until
2,5 km of the point zero, of serious burns to the second
degree. A bomb of 10 Mt could provoke burns until a
distance of 30 km of the point zero.
