curprev 05:0405:04, 4 August 2024 NuclearSecrets talk contribs m 183,392 bytes +12 →Trinity: all MP sources cite it as 100 tons of high explosives — it is the "100 ton test"

curprev 18:4818:48, 3 August 2024 Karavadgoo talk contribs 183,380 bytes +21 →Trinity: The article about the Trinity test says: 81 tonnes (89 short tons) of Composition B explosive (with the explosive power of 108 tonnes of TNT (450 GJ)). It is about 119 short tons of TNT equivalent...

curprev 00:1300:13, 2 August 2024 NuclearSecrets talk contribs m 183,148 bytes 0 →Los Alamos: I checked the Manhattan District History (which AHF says was source) and it gives value of $414,971 (Book 8, Vol 1, Part 1, on page S3 and again on 3.6) — I suspect the AHF value is a typo...

curprev 15:5915:59, 1 August 2024 Karavadgoo talk contribs 183,109 bytes +213 →Los Alamos: 1) 54 000 acres is just approximate and pre-calculated area; 2) url=http://www.lanl.gov/history/road/pdf/4-8-43.pdf - this link isn't alive; 3) different numbers in different sources about area of land granted by Wickard and total acquired area. Jones shows strange numbers: total acquired area was 45,737 acres and area granted by Wickard was "some 45,667 acres" - but area of private and purchased land was larger than 70 acres... So I have provided another source

curprev 16:4116:41, 4 July 2024 NuclearSecrets talk contribs 181,986 bytes +782 →Foreign intelligence: three important things missing here: 1. goudsmit, 2. noting that Alsos concluded in late 1944 that the Germans did not have a serious atomic bomb program after all, 3. that bombing of Oranienburg more about Soviet program than German program

curprev 23:1723:17, 1 July 2024 NuclearSecrets talk contribs 181,323 bytes +349 →Bombings: these are really two different citations
curprev 23:0723:07, 1 July 2024 NuclearSecrets talk contribs m 180,974 bytes −2 →Bomb design concepts: again suggest "isolated" for "discovered" -- I think "discovered" conveys a different sense of what they did, personally (makes it sound more serendipitous than it was)
curprev 23:0523:05, 1 July 2024 NuclearSecrets talk contribs 180,976 bytes +21 →Origins: slight reword suggestion -- "isolated" is a little clearer here than "discovered", and shifting the grammar so that it is clear that this is a subordinate clause
