 The Chain Reaction
Based on the papers of individual scientists and records of scientists' associations, the text of the exhibition begins with an account of the construction and operation of the first nuclear pile beneath the West Stands of Stagg Field on the campus of the University of Chicago.
The exhibition examines the concerns of atomic scientists from Chicago and elsewhere over the dangers of nuclear power, and it then traces the scientists' post-World War II campaigns of public education and legislation to assure civilian control of atomic energy.
Soon after atomic scientists began their lobbying campaign in Washington in the fall of 1945, the advantages of a joint organization for scientists across the country became apparent, not only for maximum efficiency as a lobby, but for exchange of opinons and information and for mutual support.

 FAS Public Interest Report July/August 1994
This newsletter is a contribution to the inevitable debate of 1995 about the atomic scientists; it focuses on the morality of a tiny segment of the atomic scientists, herein called the arrogators (of right or left) who misled their fellow citizens out of a felt obligation to arm America or prevent nuclear holocaust.
The original atomic scientists in Britain, Germany, the United States and the U.S.S.R. had a variety of live options to encourage or discourage their nation states and/or the nation states of others in the invention of weapons that could destroy cities and, perhaps, civilization.
The main body of American atomic scientists were, on the whole, under the command of General Leslie Groves and under the thrall of Robert Oppenheimer, both of whom wanted, in the end, to use the bomb.

 A Brief History of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists
The founding of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is entwined with the history of the "Manhattan Project"--the top-secret World War II program that developed the atom bomb.
In this report they called for the international control of atomic energy; they also suggested that the use of atom bombs against Japan would so compromise the moral leadership of the United States that international control would be difficult to achieve.
The Bulletin also documents the waste of excessive military spending, the increased tensions caused by the worldwide arms trade, the opportunity costs of militarism, and the damage to democracy caused by obsessive government secrecy.

 History of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists
n 1947, an obscure publication serving scientists seeking to understand the nature of the atom, placed a clock on its cover.
The publication was the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and the clock was called the "The Clock of Doom" and later the "Doomsday Clock." The concept was quite simple: midnight on the Doomsday Clock meant that nuclear war had begun.
With the detonation of two atomic bombs over Japanese cities and the rapid development of ballistic missiles, humans, willingly or forced by necessity, began to view themselves in terms of "the planet."

 "Political" Scientists: The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists - Jan/Feb 1995
Scientists, including many former weapons scientists, were partly responsible-perhaps, chiefly responsible-for persuading U.S. and Soviet political leaders that ending the Cold War was doable as well as desirable.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and the Federation of Atomic Scientists (later, the Federation of American Scientists, or FAS) were founded in the fall of 1945 by Manhattan Project scientists who wanted to insure that nuclear weapons were never again used in war.
In attendance were three scientists from the Soviet Union; three from Japan; two each from Canada and Britain; one from Australia, Austria, China, France, and Poland; and six scientists and one law professor from the United States.

 Use the Atomic Bomb
Though responsibility for the decision to use the atomic bomb was the President's, he exercised it only after careful study of the recommendations of his senior advisers.
This apparent contradiction is explained by the fact that the atomic bomb was considered to be capable of a psychological effect entirely apart from the damage wrought.
It is equally difficult to assert categorically that the atomic bomb alone or Soviet intervention alone was the decisive factor in bringing the war to an end.

 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
While Martyl intended the clock image as a whole to convey a sense of imminent danger, placing the minute hand at seven minutes to midnight was a matter of “good design.” The idea of moving the minute hand came later, in 1949, as a way to dramatize the magazine’s response to world events.
While the clock is no longer the main illustration on the Bulletin cover, it remains an integral part of the magazine’s logo.
The original design has been modified over the years and was completely redesigned in 1989 to emphasize the magazine’s global focus.

 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is a journal concerned with global security issues, especially related to the dangers posed nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction.
It was founded by many former Manhattan Project physicists in 1945 after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought the world into the nuclear age primarily to support the advocacy of international control of nuclear weapons and to provide a forum for the newly-empowered nuclear physicists to publish their views on nuclear policy.

 City on fire © 2004 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists - Gold & Silver Forum
The earliest schemes to predict damage from atomic bombs, devised in 1947 and 1948, focused only on blast damage and ignored damage from fire, which can be far more devastating than blast effects.
(Scientists prefer this term to "firestorm," but I will use them interchangeably here.) This fire would engulf tens of square miles and begin to heat enormous volumes of air that would rise, while cool air from the fire's periphery would be pulled in.
In the late 1970s, Brode and a team of scientists at Pacific-Sierra Research began to investigate the possibility of incorporating the effects of fire into damage prediction for nuclear targeting under contract for the Defense Nuclear Agency.

 Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moves "Doomsday Clock" two minutes closer to midnight
Today, the Board of Directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moves the minute hand of the "Doomsday Clock," the symbol of nuclear danger, from nine to seven minutes to midnight, the same setting at which the clock debuted 55 years ago.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, founded by a group of World War II-era Manhattan Project scientists, has warned the world of nuclear dangers since 1945.
The September 11 attacks, and the subsequent and probably unrelated use of the mail to deliver deadly anthrax spores, breached previous boundaries for terrorist acts and should have been a global wake-up call.

IN July 1946, two atomic bombs of the Nagasaki type were tested at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific in a widely publicized military exercise known as Operation Crossroads.
To many opponents of the atomic tests, it seemed obvious that there was a high probability that the tests would indeed jeopardize U.S.-Soviet relations in the United Nations and elsewhere and would prejudice chances for enactment of the McMahon bill whose backers were striving to ensure civilian control of America's atomic energy development.
In addition to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and the work by Alice Kimball Smith already cited, primary source material from the various chapters of the FAS testifies to the extensive controversy the nuclear issues of 1946 engendered.

India's nuclear arsenal currently consists of several short- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles, and according to the Bulletin's latest Nuclear Notebook, there has been continued talk in New Delhi of developing an ICBM.
Nearly 60 years after the bombings, the Bulletin asked prominent thinkers to address the provocative question: "Would you have dropped the bomb?" The respondents included theologian Martin Marty, physicist Pervez Hoodbhoy, and defense analyst Thomas Donnelly.
Here are links to just a few of the events planned around the world: In Japan; Tinian (where the bombs were assembled and loaded into B-29s); in Australia; across the United States, including at bomb-related sites Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, the Nevada Test Site, and Lawrence Livermore; and all across Europe.
