Paper Summary:

The paper intersperses facts about nuclear weapons with a narrative from the perspective of Bob and Loretta Lehman and Laura Fermi. The writer describes what it is like to be caught in a nuclear attack. The paper explains that before the nuclear weapons were used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there was very little testing done on the effects that a nuclear weapon would have. The writer describes the two different bombs used, one being a gun-type nuclear weapon and the other an implosion-type nuclear weapon. In conclusion, the writer expresses the feeling that it was not necessary to drop the bomb on Japan.

From the Paper:

"I was sitting at home, when Charles, (her son) ,came running came into the room screaming, we blew up all of Japan - this is how Loretta Lehman learned of the United States newfound power, the nuclear weapon. At first I was scared, because bob was still in Germany, but I then went and talked to my neighbors and they said that Japan was going to surrender, and the u.s. would win, that is when all my worries went away.
"Loretta's husband, Bob, was stationed in France, but was back on the U.S. side when the bombs were dropped, he had this to say. Back then, I felt that dropping the bomb was a good idea, but as time has gone on, and I have thought about it more, I am realizing some fault that could have gone along with it. After the war in Europe had ended, we were shipped to the U.S. and were going to be re-stationed somewhere in the pacific, but then [the nuclear weapon] was dropped, and the war ended. I asked Bob why he felt the U.S. felt the bomb needed to be dropped. [My company] felt that by dropping the bomb, the war would end sooner, quicker, and with less loss of life."
