query: Project Y's mission was to destroy the first atomic bombs.

positive: Project Y The Los Alamos Laboratory , also known as Project Y , was a secret laboratory established by the Manhattan Project and operated by the University of California during World War II . Its mission was to design and build the first atomic bombs . Robert Oppenheimer was its first director , from 1943 to December 1945 , when he was succeeded by Norris Bradbury . For scientists freely to discuss their work while preserving security , the laboratory was located in a remote part of New Mexico . The wartime laboratory occupied buildings that had once been part of the Los Alamos Ranch School .   The development effort initially concentrated on a gun-type fission weapon using plutonium called Thin Man . In April 1944 , the Los Alamos Laboratory determined that the rate of spontaneous fission in plutonium bred in a nuclear reactor was too great due to the presence of plutonium-240 and would cause a predetonation , a nuclear chain reaction before the core was fully assembled . Oppenheimer then reorganized the laboratory and orchestrated an all-out and ultimately successful effort on an alternative design proposed by John von Neumann , an implosion-type nuclear weapon , which was called Fat Man . A variant of the gun-type design known as Little Boy was developed using uranium-235 .   Chemists at the Los Alamos Laboratory developed methods of purifying uranium and plutonium , the latter a metal that only existed in microscopic quantities when Project Y began . Its metallurgists found that plutonium had unexpected properties , but were nonetheless able to cast it into metal spheres . The laboratory built the Water Boiler , an aqueous homogeneous reactor , the third reactor in the world to become operational . It also researched the Super , a hydrogen bomb that would use a fission bomb to ignite a nuclear fusion reaction in deuterium and tritium .   The Fat Man design was tested in the Trinity nuclear test in July 1945 . Project Y personnel formed pit crews and assembly teams for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and participated in the bombing as weaponeers and observers . After the war ended , the laboratory supported the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll . A new Z Division was created to control testing , stockpiling and bomb assembly activities , which were concentrated at Sandia Base . The Los Alamos Laboratory became Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in 1947 .

negative: Project Alberta Project Alberta , also known as Project A , was a section of the Manhattan Project which assisted in delivering the first nuclear weapons in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II .   Project Alberta was formed in March 1945 , and consisted of 51 United States Army , Navy , and civilian personnel , including one British scientist . Its mission was three-fold . It first had to design a bomb shape for delivery by air , then procure and assemble it . It supported the ballistic testing work at Wendover Army Air Field , Utah , conducted by the 216th Army Air Forces Base Unit ( Project W-47 ) , and the modification of B-29s to carry the bombs ( Project Silverplate ) . After completion of its development and training missions , Project Alberta was attached to the 509th Composite Group at North Field , Tinian , where it prepared facilities , assembled and loaded the weapons , and participated in their use .

negative: The Manhattan Project (film) The Manhattan Project is an American film , released in 1986 . Named after the World War II-era program that constructed the first atomic bombs , the plot revolves around a gifted high school student who decides to construct an atomic bomb for a national science fair . It was directed by Marshall Brickman , based upon his screenplay co-written with Thomas Baum , and starred Christopher Collet , John Lithgow , John Mahoney , Jill Eikenberry and Cynthia Nixon . This was the first production from short-lived Gladden Entertainment .

negative: Ames Project The Ames Project was a research and development project that was part of the larger Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bombs during World War II . It was founded by Frank Spedding from Iowa State College in Ames , Iowa as an offshoot of the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago devoted to chemistry and metallurgy , but became a separate project in its own right . The Ames Project developed the Ames Process , a method for preparing pure uranium metal that the Manhattan Project needed for its atomic bombs and nuclear reactors . Between 1942 and 1945 , it produced over 1000 ST of uranium metal . It also developed methods of preparing and casting thorium , cerium and beryllium . In October 1945 Iowa State College received the Army-Navy `` E '' Award for Excellence in Production , an award usually only given to industrial organizations . In 1947 it became the Ames Laboratory , a national laboratory under the Atomic Energy Commission .

negative: Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb Trinity : A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb is the debut graphic novel written and illustrated by Jonathan Fetter-Vorm . It provides an account of the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , as well as mentioning the chain of events after . The title arises from the code-name , Trinity , given to the test site for the first nuclear weapon .   The book is written as a `` work of history '' , although Fetter-Vorm writes at the end of the book `` for the most part , the dialog from the principal characters in this book is taken from written records . When that was impossible , I introduced language that hews closely to what I have learned of these characters over the course of my research ... '' He goes on to provide a bibliography of the works he consulted in creating the book .

negative: Little Boy `` Little Boy '' was the codename for the atomic bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 during World War II by the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay , piloted by Colonel Paul W. Tibbets , Jr. , commander of the 509th Composite Group of the United States Army Air Forces . It was the first atomic bomb to be used in warfare . The Hiroshima bombing was the second artificial nuclear explosion in history , after the Trinity test , and the first uranium-based detonation . It exploded with an energy of approximately 15 ktonTNT . The bomb caused significant destruction to the city of Hiroshima and its occupants .   Little Boy was developed by Lieutenant Commander Francis Birch 's group of Captain William S. Parsons 's Ordnance ( O ) Division at the Manhattan Project 's Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II . Parsons flew on the Hiroshima mission as weaponeer . The Little Boy was a development of the unsuccessful Thin Man nuclear bomb . Like Thin Man , it was a gun-type fission weapon , but derived its explosive power from the nuclear fission of uranium-235 . This was accomplished by shooting a hollow cylinder of enriched uranium ( the `` bullet '' ) onto a solid cylinder of the same material ( the `` target '' ) by means of a charge of nitrocellulose propellant powder . It contained 64 kg of enriched uranium , of which less than a kilogram underwent nuclear fission . Its components were fabricated at three different plants so that no one would have a copy of the complete design .   After the war ended , it was not expected that the inefficient Little Boy design would ever again be required , and many plans and diagrams were destroyed , but by mid-1946 the Hanford Site reactors were suffering badly from the Wigner effect , so six Little Boy assemblies were produced at Sandia Base . The Navy Bureau of Ordnance built another 25 Little Boy assemblies in 1947 for use by the Lockheed P2V Neptune nuclear strike aircraft ( which could be launched from but not land on the Midway-class aircraft carriers ) . All the Little Boy units were withdrawn from service by the end of January 1951 .

negative: History of nuclear weapons Nuclear weapons possess enormous destructive power from nuclear fission or combined fission and fusion reactions . Starting with scientific breakthroughs made during the 1930s , the United States , the United Kingdom and Canada collaborated during World War II in what was called the Manhattan Project to counter the suspected Nazi German atomic bomb project . In August 1945 , two fission bombs were dropped on Japan , and stands to date as the only use of nuclear weapons in combat . The Soviet Union started development shortly thereafter with their own atomic bomb project , and not long after that both countries developed even more powerful fusion weapons known as `` hydrogen bombs '' .

negative: Dayton Project The Dayton Project was a research and development project that was part of the larger Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bombs . Work took place at several sites in and around Dayton , Ohio . Those working on the project were ultimately responsible for creating the polonium-based modulated neutron initiators which were used to begin the chain reactions in the atomic bombs . The Dayton Project ran from 1943 to 1949 , when the Mound Laboratories were completed and the work moved there .   The Dayton Project began in 1943 when Monsanto 's Charles Allen Thomas was recruited by the Manhattan Project to coordinate the plutonium purification and production work being carried out at various sites . Scientists at the Los Alamos Laboratory calculated that a plutonium bomb would require a neutron initiator . The best-known neutron sources used radioactive polonium and beryllium , so Thomas undertook to produce polonium at Monsanto 's laboratories in Dayton , Ohio .   The Dayton Project developed techniques for extracting polonium-210 from the lead dioxide ore in which it occurs naturally , and from bismuth targets that had been bombarded by neutrons in a nuclear reactor . Ultimately , polonium-based neutron initiators were used in both the gun-type Little Boy and the implosion-type Fat Man used in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively . The fact that polonium was used as an initiator was classified until the 1960s , but George Koval , a technician with the Manhattan Project 's Special Engineering Detachment , penetrated the Dayton Project as a spy for the Soviet Union .

negative: Two Bombs, One Satellite Two Bombs , One Satellite ( Chinese : 两弹一星 ) was an early nuclear and space project of the People 's Republic of China . Two Bombs refers to the Atomic bomb ( and later the Hydrogen bomb ) and Intercontinental Missile , while One Satellite refers to artificial satellites . China tested its first atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb in 1964 and 1967 respectively , while in 1970 the country successfully launched its first satellite ( DFH-1 ) . 23 scientists involved in the project was awarded the title Two bombs and one Satellite Award ( Chinese : 两弹一星功勋奖章 ) in 1999 .

negative: Soviet atomic bomb project The Soviet atomic bomb project ( Russian : Советский проект атомной бомбы ) was the classified research and development program that was authorized by Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union to develop the feasibility of nuclear weapons during World War II .   The program was initiated in response to the intelligence reports collected by Soviet intelligence through their spy ring in the United States on the secretive Manhattan Project . Despite it having remained largely an intelligence effort until the end of the war , the program was highly successful , thanks to the management of the Russian ' intelligence agencies benefitted by the spy ring conducting espionage in the United States .   Because of the conspicuous silence of the scientific publications on the subject of fission by German , American , and British scientists , Russian physicist , Georgy Flyorov suspected that the Allied powers had secretly been developing a `` superweapon '' since 1939 . Flyorov wrote a letter to Stalin urging him to start this program in 1942 . Initial efforts were slowed due to the German invasion of the Soviet Union and remained largely composed of the intelligence knowledge gained from the spy rings working in the U.S. ' Manhattan Project in 1943 .   After learning of the atomic bombings of Japanese cities that officially ended World War II in 1945 , the program was aggressively pursued mainly through effective intelligence gathering about the German weapon project and the American Manhattan Project . The Russian efforts also rounded up captured German scientists to join their program , and relied heavily on knowledge passed by the spy ring to the Russian intelligence agencies .   On 29 August 1949 , the Soviet Union secretly conducted its first weapon test ( First Lightning ) that was based on the U.S. design at the Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan .

negative: RDS-1 The RDS-1 ( РДС-1 ) , also known as Izdeliye 501 ( device 501 ) and First Lightning ( Первая молния , Pervaya molniya ) , was the nuclear bomb used in the Soviet Union 's first nuclear weapon test . The United States assigned it the code-name Joe-1 , in reference to Joseph Stalin . It was detonated on 29 August 1949 at 7:00 AM , at Semipalatinsk , Kazakh SSR , after top-secret research and development as part of the Soviet atomic bomb project .

negative: Y-12 National Security Complex The Y-12 National Security Complex is a United States Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration facility located in Oak Ridge , Tennessee , near the Oak Ridge National Laboratory . It was built as part of the Manhattan Project for the purpose of enriching uranium for the first atomic bombs . In the years after World War II , it has been operated as a manufacturing facility for nuclear weapons components and related defense purposes .   Y-12 is managed and operated under contract by Consolidated Nuclear Security , LLC ( CNS ) , which is composed of member companies Bechtel National , Inc. , Lockheed Martin Services , Inc. , ATK Launch Systems , Inc. , and SOC LLC , with Booz Allen Hamilton , Inc. as a teaming subcontractor . CNS also operates Pantex Plant in Texas .

negative: Shima Hospital was a Japanese hospital destroyed by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima , Japan , on August 6 , 1945 . Shima Hospital is considered to be ground zero for the atomic bombing of Hiroshima .   In 1948 , the hospital was rebuilt from the ground up by Dr. Kaoru Shima . The reconstructed Shima Surgery is still in operation to the present day under the name Shima geka naika . Specialities of the present Shima geka naika are surgery , orthopaedics , internal medicine , and endoscopic treatment of the digestive organs . Adjacent to the Shima geka naika is a monument marking the hypocenter , or ground zero , of the atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima , which is located about a five-minute walk away from the city 's Atomic Bomb Dome or `` A-Dome .

negative: Manhattan Project (song) `` Manhattan Project '' is a 1985 song by Canadian progressive rock band Rush , named for the WWII project that created the first atomic bomb . Lyricist Neil Peart read ten books about the Manhattan Project before writing the lyrics so that he had a proper understanding of what the project was really about .  This song appeared on the 1985 album Power Windows , Rush 's eleventh studio album . `` Manhattan Project '' is the third track on the album , and clocks in at 5:07 . It consists of four verses , addressing :   1 ) A time , during the era of World War II ,  2 ) A man , a scientist ( such as J. Robert Oppenheimer , the assumed scientist ) ,  3 ) A place , Los Alamos in New Mexico ,  4 ) A man , Enola Gay , the bomber , and pilot and mission commander Paul Tibbets .   The chorus refers to the explosion as `` the big bang '' , in allusion to the start of a new universe following the singular event although the absolute reference is the use of Fat Man and Little Boy , America 's two nuclear bombs to bring an end to the Pacific conflict with Japan ( `` shot down the rising sun '' ) , which only happened after both were dropped , repeating the theme of the verses marking when and/or where `` it all began '' . While nuclear warfare may be seen as the ultimate pinnacle of human fear , lyricist Neil Peart does not include this song as being part of Rush 's Fear series . Rush performed the song live on their Power Windows , Hold Your Fire , Presto , and Clockwork Angels tours .

negative: Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists The Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists ( ECAS ) was founded by Albert Einstein and Leó Szilárd in 1946 . Its aims were to warn the public of the dangers associated with the development of nuclear weapons , promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy , and ultimately work towards world peace , which was seen as the only way that nuclear weapons would not be used again .   The Committee was established in the wake of the `` Szilárd petition '' ( July 1945 ) to United States president Harry S. Truman opposing the use of the atomic bomb on moral grounds , which was signed by 68 scientists who had worked on the Manhattan Project . A majority of scientists working on the Manhattan Project did not know entirely what they were creating at the time .   The Committee only ever consisted of the eight members of the Board of Trustees , who were :  Albert Einstein Chairman  Harold C. Urey Vice-Chairman  Hans Bethe  T.R. Hogness  Philip M. Morse  Linus Pauling  Leó Szilárd  Victor Weisskopf   Half the members had worked directly on the Manhattan Project and all had been indirectly involved or consulted on the production of the first atomic bomb .   Several members of the committee gave lecture tours to promote the committee 's message of peace .  They produced supporting promotional materials , including one of the first films to illustrate what a full nuclear war might be like . ECAS was also very vocal in its opposition of the development of the first hydrogen bomb .   ECAS was active for four years , until 1950 when it was gradually disbanded , although most of the members continued to campaign against nuclear war , and participated in the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs .

negative: Russian Alsos The Soviet Alsos or the Russian Alsos was an operation that took place during 19451946 in Germany , Austria , and Czechoslovakia , and whose objectives were the exploitation of German atomic related facilities , intellectual materials , materiel resources , and scientific personnel for the benefit of the Soviet atomic bomb project .   Soviet scientists , aided greatly by Soviet espionage within the Manhattan Project , would have been able to eventually build their first atomic bomb without exploitation of German technology and scientists . However , the contributions of the German scientists is borne out by the many USSR State Prizes and other awards given in the wake of the second Soviet atomic bomb test , a uranium-based atomic bomb ; awards for uranium production and isotope separation were prevalent . Also significant in both the first Soviet atomic bomb testa plutonium-based atomic bomb which required a uranium reactor for plutonium generationand the second test , was the Soviet acquisition of a significant amount of uranium immediately before and shortly after the close of World War II . This saved them a year by their own admission .

negative: Atomic Age The Atomic Age , also known as the Atomic Era , is the period of history following the detonation of the first nuclear ( `` atomic '' ) bomb , Trinity , on July 16 , 1945 , during World War II . Although nuclear chain reactions had been hypothesized in 1933 and the first artificial self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction ( Chicago Pile-1 ) had taken place in December 1942 , the Trinity test and the ensuing bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War II represented the first large-scale use of nuclear technology and ushered in profound changes in sociopolitical thinking and the course of technology development .   While atomic power was promoted for a time as the epitome of progress and modernity , entering into the nuclear power era also entailed frightful implications of nuclear warfare , the Cold War , mutually assured destruction , nuclear proliferation , the risk of nuclear disaster ( potentially as extreme as anthropogenic global nuclear winter ) , as well as beneficial civilian applications in nuclear medicine . It is no easy matter to fully segregate peaceful uses of nuclear technology from military or terrorist uses ( such as the fabrication of dirty bombs from radioactive waste ) , which complicated the development of a global nuclear-power export industry right from the outset .   In 1973 , concerning a flourishing nuclear power industry , the United States Atomic Energy Commission predicted that , by the turn of the 21st century , one thousand reactors would be producing electricity for homes and businesses across the USA . However , the `` nuclear dream '' fell far short of what was promised because nuclear technology produced a range of social problems , from the nuclear arms race to nuclear meltdowns , and the unresolved difficulties of bomb plant cleanup and civilian plant waste disposal and decommissioning . Since 1973 , reactor orders declined sharply as electricity demand fell and construction costs rose . Many orders and partially completed plants were cancelled .   By the late 1970s , nuclear power had suffered a remarkable international destabilization , as it was faced with economic difficulties and widespread public opposition , coming to a head with the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 , and the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 , both of which adversely affected the nuclear power industry for many decades .

negative: Charles Donald Albury Charles Donald Albury ( October 12 , 1920 -- May 23 , 2009 ) was an American military aviator who participated in both atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki . He co-piloted the United States Army Air Forces B-29 bomber known as the Bockscar during the mission which dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki on August 9 , 1945 . The bombing of Nagasaki killed an estimated 40,000 people instantly , and led to Japan 's unconditional surrender on August 14 , 1945 , ending World War II .

negative: Project Z The Project Z ( also called the Z Bombers Project ) was a military project of the Empire of Japan , similar to the Nazi German Amerika Bomber project , to design an intercontinental bomber capable of reaching North America .

negative: The Beginning or the End The Beginning or the End ( 1947 ) is an American docudrama film about the development of the atomic bomb in World War II , directed by Norman Taurog , starring Brian Donlevy and Hume Cronyn , and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ( MGM ) . The film dramatizes the creation of the atomic bomb in the Manhattan Project and the bombing of Hiroshima .   The film originated in October 1945 as a project of actress Donna Reed and her high school science teacher , Edward R. Tompkins , who was a chemist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory . Bob Considine wrote the treatment , which was sent to the MGM studio script writers . The title was supplied by President Harry S. Truman . At the time there was a legal requirement that permission be obtained to depict living well-known public figures . Many refused , but others , such as J. Robert Oppenheimer , co-operated . Major General Leslie R. Groves , Jr. , the director of the Manhattan Project , was hired as a consultant for $ 10,000 .   Although the filmmakers put considerable effort into historical accuracy , particularly in details , the film is known for some key distortions of history . An entirely fictional sequence was added in which Truman agonizes over whether to authorize the attack ; anti-aircraft shells are shown bursting around the Enola Gay on its bombing run over Hiroshima ; and it is said that leaflets were dropped on Hiroshima for ten days in advance of the mission warning the citizens of the forthcoming raid . The film received mixed reviews , and did not earn its money back .

negative: Up An' Atom Up An ' Atom was the name of a B-29 Superfortress ( B-29-36-MO 44-27304 , Victor number 88 ) configured during World War II in the Silverplate project to carry an atomic bomb .

negative: Critical Mass: America's race to build the atomic bomb Critical Mass : America 's race to build the atomic bomb was a 1996 multimedia presentation published by Corbis . It documented the development of the atomic bomb during the Manhattan Project . It contained video biographies of Richard Feynman , Enrico Fermi , Robert Oppenheimer , and Niels Bohr . It had illustrated essays that also documented Edward Teller , Lise Meitner , Leo Szilard , Hans Bethe , and Albert Einstein .

negative: Flying bomb A flying bomb is a manned or unmanned aerial vehicle or aircraft carrying a large explosive warhead , a precursor to contemporary cruise missiles . In contrast to a bomber aircraft , which is intended to release bombs and then return to its base for re-use , a flying bomb crashes into its target and is therefore itself destroyed in its attack .   The term flying bomb is most frequently associated with two specific Second World War weapons , the German V-1 and the Japanese Ohka . The former was unpiloted , as the first known cruise missile ever deployed in combat ; the latter carried a pilot on a kamikaze mission .

negative: William L. Uanna William Lewis `` Bud '' Uanna ( May 13 , 1909 -- December 22 , 1961 ) was an American security expert , who gained prominence as a security officer with the Manhattan Project , which built the first atomic bomb during World War II .   Uanna was in charge of security at the project 's facility at Oak Ridge , Tennessee , and later at the 509th Composite Group , which dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki .   After the war , he headed the Atomic Energy Commission ( AEC ) program to provide security clearances to its personnel , and developed the top-secret Q clearance . He later served as chief of physical security at the State Department .

negative: United States and weapons of mass destruction The United States is known to have possessed three types of weapons of mass destruction : nuclear weapons , chemical weapons , and biological weapons . The U.S. is the only country to have used nuclear weapons in combat , when it detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II . It had secretly developed the earliest form of the atomic weapon during the 1940s under the title `` Manhattan Project '' . The United States pioneered the development of both the nuclear fission and hydrogen bombs ( the latter involving nuclear fusion ) . It was the world 's first and only nuclear power for four years ( 1945 -- 1949 ) , until the Soviet Union managed to produce its own nuclear weapon . The United States has the second largest number of deployed nuclear weapons in the world , after Russia .

negative: Japanese nuclear weapon program The Japanese program to develop nuclear weapons was conducted during World War II . Like the German nuclear weapons program , it suffered from an array of problems , and was ultimately unable to progress beyond the laboratory stage before the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Japanese surrender in August 1945 .   Today , Japan 's nuclear energy infrastructure makes it capable of constructing nuclear weapons at will . The de-militarization of Japan and the protection of the United States ' nuclear umbrella have led to a strong policy of non-weaponization of nuclear technology , but in the face of nuclear weapons testing by North Korea , some politicians and former military officials in Japan are calling for a reversal of this policy .

negative: A Tale of Two Cities (1946 film) A Tale of Two Cities was a 1946 propaganda/documentary film about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , produced by the Army-Navy Screen Magazine .   The film chronologically , and for the most part , neutrally , describes the testing and the use of the atomic bombs impact on Hiroshima , describing where the bomb was actually dropped , and the damage done to military industrial targets , as well as noting which edifices sustained less damage , like those built with reinforced concrete . An interview is shown with a Jesuit priest , who describes his experience , and notes that he believes that approximately 100,000 people died .   Then the film moves on to Nagasaki , telling the audience that U.S. President Harry S. Truman warned the Japanese that he would use more nukes if they did n't surrender . The Nagasaki mission is described , showing the two plants that were the basic targets , and the valley that they planned to bomb , and then shows the mushroom cloud , `` The baptism of the aggressor nation ''   At the end , the film takes a rather sober view of the future of atomic power , showing an `` atomic shadow '' of someone in the Hiroshima blast , saying that this could be someone of any race or creed , and that the future of atomic power could help mankind , or destroy it , depending on how people use it .

negative: Nuclear weapons debate The nuclear weapons debate refers to the controversies surrounding the threat , use and stockpiling of nuclear weapons . Even before the first nuclear weapons had been developed , scientists involved with the Manhattan Project were divided over the use of the weapon . The only time nuclear weapons have been used in warfare was during the final stages of World War II when United States Army Air Forces B-29 Superfortress bombers dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in early August 1945 . The role of the bombings in Japan 's surrender and the U.S. 's ethical justification for them have been the subject of scholarly and popular debate for decades .   Nuclear disarmament refers both to the act of reducing or eliminating nuclear weapons and to the end state of a nuclear-free world . Proponents of disarmament typically condemn a priori the threat or use of nuclear weapons as immoral and argue that only total disarmament can eliminate the possibility of nuclear war . Critics of nuclear disarmament say that it would undermine deterrence and make conventional wars more likely , more destructive , or both . The debate becomes considerably complex when considering various scenarios for example , total vs partial or unilateral vs multilateral disarmament .

negative: Trinity (nuclear test) Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon . It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 am on July 16 , 1945 , as part of the Manhattan Project . The test was conducted in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 mi southeast of Socorro , New Mexico , on what was then the USAAF Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range ( now part of White Sands Missile Range ) . The only structures originally in the vicinity were the McDonald Ranch House and its ancillary buildings , which scientists used as a laboratory for testing bomb components . A base camp was constructed , and there were 425 people present on the weekend of the test .   The code name `` Trinity '' was assigned by J. Robert Oppenheimer , the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory , inspired by the poetry of John Donne . The test was of an implosion-design plutonium device , informally nicknamed `` The Gadget '' , of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated over Nagasaki , Japan , on August 9 , 1945 . The complexity of the design required a major effort from the Los Alamos Laboratory , and concerns about whether it would work led to a decision to conduct the first nuclear test . The test was planned and directed by Kenneth Nichols .   Fears of a fizzle led to the construction of a steel containment vessel called Jumbo that could contain the plutonium , allowing it to be recovered , but Jumbo was not used . A rehearsal was held on May 7 , 1945 , in which 108 ST of high explosive spiked with radioactive isotopes were detonated . The Gadget 's detonation released the explosive energy of about 22 ktonTNT . Observers included Vannevar Bush , James Chadwick , James Conant , Thomas Farrell , Enrico Fermi , Richard Feynman , Leslie Groves , Robert Oppenheimer , Geoffrey Taylor , and Richard Tolman .   The test site was declared a National Historic Landmark district in 1965 , and listed on the National Register of Historic Places the following year .

negative: Life imprisonment in the Netherlands Since the abolition of the death penalty in the Netherlands in 1870 , life imprisonment has almost always meant imprisonment until death ; unlike in other countries in Europe , there is no possibility of parole for anyone sentenced to life imprisonment . Though the prisoner can appeal for pardon , it must be granted by royal decree ; since the 1970s , only two such pardons have been successful , both being terminally ill . Since 1945 , 41 criminals ( excluding war criminals ) have been sentenced to life imprisonment . There has been a noticeable increase of life imprisonment sentences being given in the last decade , and more than triple the number of life imprisonment sentences in the last few years than the previous decades .   Due to the strict nature of the sentence , most `` common '' murders result in a sentence of around 12 to 30 years . The judicial panel ( always composed of three members ) is not able to award sentences of longer than 15 years ' imprisonment for manslaughter alone ( so not combined with other facts constituting an offence ) , so if malice aforethought has not been proven , a criminal will never receive a sentence of longer than 15 years . The only life sentence for a single murder without gravitating circumstances was given in 2005 to Mohammed Bouyeri for the murder of Dutch film director Theo van Gogh , due to its strong political nature . In all other cases , there has been circumstances of recurrence ( murder committed after sentencing for another murder ) , multitude ( several murders ) or severe gravity to the crime ( i.e. torture murder ) .
