Everyone knows about the first two. The first was put into the Gadget and detonated at Trinity in July 1945. The second was put into the Fat Man and detonated over Nagasaki in August 1945. The third, however, has been largely overlooked. The third core was the one that was destined to be the Third Shot dropped on Japan, had there been a Third Shot. Instead, it has a different story — but it was still not a peaceful one.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #atomic #history #imported:pinboard #nuclear #physics</p> Sat, 17 Aug 2013 22:35:22 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:32183 atomic history imported:pinboard nuclear physics http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2013/08/16/the-third-cores-revenge By the end of August 1945, there had been a total of three plutonium cores created in the entire world.

It relies more heavily on forces like gravity and natural heat convection and less on pumps, valves and operator actions than other models do, in theory diminishing the probability of an accident.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #energy #nuclear #power #reactors</p> Fri, 23 Dec 2011 01:19:34 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:20310 energy nuclear power reactors http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2009/03/nuclear-power-yes-please.ars "Nuclear power will have to form part of a comprehensive post-carbon energy infrastructure, and its downsides are greatly overstated, according to a group of experts."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #economy #energy #nuclear #power</p> Mon, 23 Mar 2009 02:08:35 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:12075 economy energy nuclear power http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/21/AR2006062101518.html "North Korea Cannot Be Allowed to Test This Missile"<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #bush #missiles #northkorea #nuclear #war</p> Tue, 04 Jul 2006 19:23:13 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:7343 bush missiles northkorea nuclear war http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=213 "her shells packed a nuclear payload with the equivalent destructive power of 15,000 metric tons of TNT."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #nuclear #war #weaponry</p> Mon, 03 Jul 2006 17:20:43 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:7336 nuclear war weaponry http://www.nbc-med.org/SiteContent/MedRef/OnlineRef/CaseStudies/csgoiania.html 'Six year old Leide das Neves Ferreira "rubbed the powder on her body so that she glowed and sparkled."'<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #disaster #nuclear #radiation</p> Thu, 19 May 2005 19:38:47 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:4706 disaster nuclear radiation
