The scientists doing nuclear research at the time were a lot more cavalier about radiation exposure than people today, and a lot of the work in the lab was done in shirtsleeves without protective gear. A lot of the Manhattan project scientists died of cancer later.

[@cmdrwilmot2696]

WWII computers were used for cracking German codes. During the Cold War, computers were used for nuclear research and so they might have been used for the Manhattan Project. That being said, I believe most of the calculations for the Manhattan Project were done by hand and any warnings would have been from analog instruments. The computer screen giving warnings is the Infographics Show being sloppy with the animations or perhaps taking artistic license.

[@jamieanderson7676]

It's also why comic book superheros from that era gained their powers from radiation because radiations effect on the human body was barely understood back then. Basically the only thing they knew for a fact was that a high enough dosage would kill.

[@mycroft16]

This has long been the way when working with some new thing that isn't yet understood. Madame Curie died of radiation poisoning while working with radium. She used to carry it around on her person. Many brilliant minds have died in the pursuit of knowledge. We are a great deal more cautious these days with things, which is also why it sometimes takes so much longer than it used to.

The thing about how we turned it into a weapon so quick is because the idea already existed for an atomic bomb. They had already been theorized and worked out for the most part, the only problem was that we didn’t know of an element that would work the way we needed it to for a bomb of this type. Then plutonium was discovered and it fit the criteria of what was theorized. So that’s when they went to work on making it all happen and bringing this theoretical bomb into existence. So yes it happened relatively fast, but that’s because they weren’t starting completely from scratch.

[@speelydan]

2:14 - Plutonium is really, really not suitable for use in nuclear power generation. It will fission way too fast and way too uncontrollably. Even the Uranium isotope used in bombs (U-235) isn't really good for that, they use U-238, which is unsuitable for nuclear bombs but works great for nuclear power plants. Some nuclear plants use MOX (Mixed Oxide) fuel which combines partially-spent Uranium with some Plutonium for power generation, but it's much harder and much more dangerous to work with and is usually avoided when possible. (If I recall correctly, Chernobyl used some MOX fuel rods.) 9:19 - That's the thing. They really did. That first accident occurred while the two hemispheres of material were - literally - being held apart by a screwdriver being held by one of the scientists. The screwdriver slipped, a crap ton of radiation was produced, and if I recall correctly, the screwdriver-holder died from the radiation exposure. (edit) Oh, it was the *second* accident, my bad.

[@spvillano]

A WWII computer was, at a minimum, one floor that's one city block by one city block, one model was larger and took up 3 floors. People manually calculating were actually faster for some mass calculations. Hell, for the beginning of the US space program, computers were extensively used - human computers. John Glenn's first flight into space was calculated by an IBM digital computer and due to the calculation running twice and giving different results, was recalculated by a human computer that Glenn trusted more than that new fangled IBM computer. The movie "Hidden Figures" shows a small window into their world at that time. Slotin and his screwdrivers were subsequently replaced with the Godiva device - the first of which was destroyed by a criticality accident that didn't kill anyone. There was a third criticality accident during the Manhattan Project, a chemist who turned on a mixer, which formed a vortex sufficient to allow criticality. He shut down the mixer and ran outside shouting that he was on fire. He died of radiation exposure some time later. Today, we understand the mathematics involved and can simply calculate what configuration one is operating under and apply the math. No blue glows, no loud, rude noises. Laughably, Stalin was getting daily reports from his espionage network, detailed reports, but due to the pressure of the war, wasn't able to do much about developing their own nuclear weapons until after the war ended and their first designs were US based designs.

There is a book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" written by one of the scientists who participated in the Manhattan project where he described some aspects of their work along withvarious interesting stories. And there is an answer about screw drivers there and how nuclear materials were treated at that time. If you are curious look up the story about the first russian nuclear reactor (F-1) in the Kurchatov's Institute, btw it is open to public now and there are excursions there. The safety aspect there is on the other level: it was constructed during and right after the war by 20 people or so. They didn't have resources, they didn't have time, they didn't have european specialists who were already working on the subject and flew mostly to America from the Nazi occupation. The country was destroyed by war and if they didn't succeed the 'Totality' plan of Eisenhower could be executed (developed in 1945 - it is very disputed was it simply disinformation or a real plan, but either way it was a threat). They tried to keep up and used all the abilities to do that. And about the safety : the safety system in F-1 was very simple - it was an ax and a rope, which held the cadmium and boron rods: in the case of emergency the rope would be cut with an ax and the rods would fall and stop the reaction. After F-1 produced the first plutonium it was extracted BY HAND! They already knew about the danger for health, but still were unprotected because of the shortage in supplies. In general that resulted in the shorter lives of many brilliant scientists. There are many other stories which are connected to that one. The computers were used as huge calculators basically: to calculate all the parameters and to process all the data collected. But they also could process basic info which could be easily measured automatically: temperature , pressure, All needed - just to keep them in right borders. It was managed by the control rods and their elevation - they got experimental data on the influence of this rods, made the theoretical approximations and adjusted the work of the rods, making а simple program. Of course , it is too oversimplified and not actually correct, but that's basically it: they produced first computational demand in XX century that needed computers and they actually started the computer revolution and launched their rapid development.

4:00 Absolutely not for sale, there's actually several international agencies that cooperate with different intelligence agencies to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. there's actually a really great book called "Peddling Peril" by David Albright that details how Pakistan developed their nuclear weapons, and how the man that helped them do that went rogue and started trying to develop nuclear weapons for whoever paid him enough, as well as the international efforts to arrest him and the actual takedown. if you want a book to read I'd highly recommend it.

I like how you set up those boards for the individual states, because it is accurate as each state is basically set up and structured to be their own Republics. They have their own Constitutions, flags and identities. Akin to how the Republic of Texas once was is a fine example.

Los Alamos had several analog computers to speed calculations for bomb simulations for Theoretical Division headed by Dr. Edward Teller. His assistant Dr. Richard Fenymann created the first computer network there linking 3 computers for more power and speed.

Answer is yes countries do sell nuclear weapons to other countries, but usually to their closest friends, US sells their submarine launched nukes to the british (Trident II)

Great video! you should check out Kyle Hill's videos on the stories behind the various nuclear meltdowns in history. The one with the screwdriver is in his video named "The True Story of The Demon Core". Highly recommend even if its on your own time and not a react video!
