Abstract

The development of nuclear weapons during the Manhattan Project is one of the most significant scientific events of the twentieth century. This revised and updated 3rd edition explores the challenges that faced the scientists and engineers of the Manhattan Project. It gives a clear introduction to fission weapons at the level of an upper-year undergraduate physics student by examining the details of nuclear reactions, their energy release, analytic and numerical models of the fission process, how critical masses can be estimated, how fissile materials are produced, and what factors complicate bomb design. An extensive list of references and a number of exercises for self-study are included. Links are given to several freely-available spreadsheets which users can use to run many of the calculations for themselves.

Abstract

« Ce sont les bombes sur Hiroshima et Nagasaki qui ont forcé le Japon à capituler »; « Les armes nucléaires nous protègent. Elles ont empêché la Guerre froide de dégénérer en guerre ouverte »; « La dissuasion nucléaire est efficace, il suffit de penser au blocus de Berlin ou à la crise des missiles de Cuba »; « De toute façon, il n’y a pas d’alternative, on ne peut pas désinventer la Bombe… ». Ces croyances sont profondément ancrées dans notre système de pensée politique… Et si ces «preuves», avancées par les partisans de la Bombe, n’en n’étaient pas? Et s’il ne s’agissait que de théories et d’hypothèses dénuées de fondement? Et si la soi-disant efficacité de la dissuasion nucléaire ne reposait que sur des mythes ? Patiemment et de manière très didactique, Ward Wilson passe au peigne fin le déroulement des principales crises nucléaires, non sans livrer quelques réflexions philosophiques sur la société humaine. En revisitant ainsi l’Histoire, notamment sur la base d’archives déclassifiées, il démonte une à une les fausses idées et interprétations que nous entretenons sur le rôle de ces armes. Son réquisitoire secoue notre pensée sur l’armement et la dissuasion nucléaires, ébranle le discours officiel... Étonnant et édifiant.
