what is the importance of the Manhattan Project today?

All the above is true,\nIt also however formed the basic understanding of Nuclear power generation.  The reaction that causes an explosion for a weapon, is the same as that in a reactor except it is controlled.  Modern ( western) nuclear generators can trace their lineage back to the Manhatten Project.

The atomic bomb, such as those developed in the Manhattan Project during WWII, was just a first type of nuclear weapon. The nuclear weapons developed in the years during the Cold War, after WWII, were designed to be even more destructive.\n\nWhile atomic bombs are considered nuclear weapons, in general, the average destructiveness (usually measured in kilotons) of one of those early atomic bombs is much less than the average destructiveness of the more advanced nuclear bombs that followed.\n\nIn the past few years, there has been research into making nuclear weapons that have very low levels of destruction - for use in battlefields rather than for destroying whole cities.

Has to be wikipedia.org\n\nBut if can focus more on the delivery systems. For example, Pershing (land-based) and Trident (submarine-based).\n\nAlso read about chemical and biological agents as bombs, and the hydrogen bomb. Read about both nuclear fusion and fission too. Not forgetting about dirty nukes.

Enrico Fermi was an Italian physicist involved with the Manhattan Project.

Maybe Manhattan Project made in the mid 1980s

transporters will perform that function eventually throughout the solar system ! for work, dates, vacations, shopping, school, research, etc., our great grand children to the 5th power will consider it normal. and yes successful sub atomic transportation has already been sucessfully tested and is growing with leaps and bounds and will completely change our world as we know it !

Sigh... \n\nWell, if you think the Manhattan Project took place in Washington State... (actually, it did have one site at Hanford, WA).. then you might be better off to just buy one of the many books that have already been written about the Atomic Bomb project.\n\nif you REALLY want to learn about the Manhattan Project, then go to Los Alamos, NM... Stop by the visitor's center at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, then visit the Bradbury Museum and go next door to the bookstore where you can buy any of several hundred different books about the Manhattan Project.  But, before you leave town, go up the hill to the little lake and visit the site where the first Atomic Bombs were built.\n\nThen, you can go down to Alamogordo and, if you catch it right, you can go visit the Trinity site on the White Sands Missle Range... it's open for visitors 2 days out of the year.\n\nThen, after you finish that, you can go out to the Nevada Test Site north of Las Vegas, NM and take the bus tour through the test site.

I recollect seeing 200,000 to 250,000 for both cities, including the aftermath.  The Hiroshima bomb was a low yield 15 kiloton device.  The strategic devices today are around 400-500, while the tactical nukes range from .3 to 200.  Some world we live in.

A CURRENT EVENT  IS ANY NEWS/EVENT... HAPPENING RIGHT NOW THAT IS IMPACTING  THE WORLD AROUND US  IT CAN BE IN TERMS OF FINANCES, HEALTH , HOMELAND SECURITY  ETC IT IS HERE AND NOW AND VERY MUCH A HOT TOPIC , MUCH DISCUSSION  SURROUNDS WHAT EVER THE EVENT HAPPENS TO BE AND IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD AROUND YOU IT  CAN HELP YOU MAKE  SOME LIFE ALTERING DECISIONS ....

We all know that if they have the nuclear tech the bomb will be used to destroy many people....if they are really concerned  about energy (especially electrical) solar energy will be great for that part of the world...I am sure the U.S.A will help in this project.

never, nuclear bombs are outdated technology.  Plus the 21st century will be the start of an era of peace

I know someone in this research area. Info can be found at...\n\nhttp://www.fusionpower.org/\n\nI'd like to say that within 100 years some kind of clean(er) energy will be produced at the atomic level.\n\nBut the hurdles associated with Fusion, really do seem insurmountable at this time.

It can be a lifesaver or a life taker.\n\n\nNuclear technology is technology that involves the reactions of atomic nuclei. It has found applications from smoke detectors to nuclear reactors, and from gun sights to nuclear weapons. There is a great deal of public concern about its possible implications, and every application of nuclear technology is reviewed with care.\n\nCheck out this site.

Why not listen to it today?  Or is today's "Revelations" just not important enough?

It would take a lot more energy than is generated in one fusion bomb.  Watch the movie 2010: The Year We Make Contact.
