The Manhattan Project
First and foremost the United States started it's nuclear program from scratch 1939 when the concept began...On May 12, 1942, President Roosevelt signed an order creating a secret project to develop the nuclear weapon. The program that developed the atomic bomb for the United States during World War II was the largest secret project ever undertaken by the U.S. government.
The
search for a suitable test site began in May 1944. The site needed to
be relatively flat, isolated from populated areas, and close to Los
Alamos. A section of land near Alamogordo, in south-central New Mexico
was chosen and code-named Trinity.
On
July 16, 1945, the world entered the nuclear age with the detonation of
the first atomic bomb. The explosion created a crater which measured
nearly 2,400 feet across and was equivalent to about 20,000 tons of TNT.
The
Manhattan Project produced three bombs: the first bomb was known as
"Gadget" and was used as a test model. Due to the enormous expense and
slow production rates for explosive material, no further tests were
conducted. The second bomb, known as "Little Boy" was detonated over the
city of Hiroshima, and the final bomb, "Fat Man" was detonated over the
city of Nagasaki.
Nuclear
development continued throughout the war. The threat of a German atomic
bomb never translated into reality and when the Nazis surrendered in
May, 1945, neither side had produced a working atomic weapon. (Two months later the first working bomb was detonated). However,
pressure to complete the weapon remained very great. An atomic bomb was
considered a primary alternative to the dreaded land invasion of the
Japanese mainland.
Many
scientists who had produced the atomic bombs were against its use and
argued to the end that the bomb should not be used for ethical reasons.
They also warned of an arms race that would develop at the end of the
war. Many other scientists, however, felt that the U.S. was not
attacking Japan, but rather defending itself from a country who attacked
the U.S. first.
Note..from start to finish it only took 3 years to explode the first working atomic bomb...from scratch.
And this was developing the technology,producing fissionable material with just two operating reactors.
Putting this into context Iran has been working on the nuclear project for over ten years...and they have the technology,material and knowledge to produce one...IMHO Iran already has more than one operational nuclear bomb, they are just stalling in order to produce a arsenal of operational NUKES !
When they have the numbers/ delivery system to hit numerous targets simultaneously they will usher in the new Imam and the caliphate will be complete...hello the Mullahs and Imams of Iran and ISIS are psychopaths hell bent on completing the last caliphate...time for BS talk has long past...time to take military action and destroy all of Irans nuclear plants and wacko leaders!
