- [***UPDATE] Thanks to @Scarlet_Crusader, now we notice the error that will happen to "Plutonium" users who play this new update. For some reason, Plutonium WILL keep removing our latest d3d9.dll file away from the main WaW game folder. Sadly, it's impossible to create the "plutoniu...

The last bomb descended on March 10,1945 in the vicinity of the Manhattan Project with no damage however, it landed on local power lines that fed electricity to a building containing the nuclear reactor producing plutonium for the Nagasaki bomband shutdown the reactor. This weapon codenamed "Fa...

Canadian Manhattan Project Louis Slotin accidentally set of a prompt critical reaction when he allowed two beryllium hemispheres to touch with a plutonium core in the center. He realized his mistake immediately and lifted the upper hemisphere with his left hand, averting disaster, but not before he...
historians now understand that American espionage did provide Soviet agents with details of the "Fat Man" plutonium implosion bomb used at Nagasaki, giving Soviet physicists perhaps a year's advantage in constructing their own initial atomic weapon. This level of spying was greater than many...
These devices ranged from simple graphite columns containing neutron sources but no uranium to structures as complex as the water-cooled 250-MW plutonium production reactors built at Hanford, Washington. This paper reviews and compares the properties of these piles....
He 177A-5 V38 W. Nr. (550002) had its bomb bay enlarged, was this modification intended to carry the German Uranium or Plutonium bomb? if so, why was such a modification done at Prague and not at the Heinkel facility in Germany? After the war, He 177 V38 was most likely scrapped...
At the time, Hanford was the location of the Manhattan Project's "Site W," where nuclear reactors were producing plutonium. When the electricity to the reactors was lost, backup systems quickly restored power but it took three days before Hanford was back to operating at full capacity. As ...
