摘要

In the summer of 1942, the United States was fully engaged in the prospect of a long war. A group of theorists, under the direction of J. Robert Oppenheimer, met at Berkeley during that summer to develop preliminary plans for designing and building a nuclear weapon. In early October 1942, General. Leslie Groves, commander of the Manhattan District of the Corps of Engineers, learned from scientists in the Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD) that they needed a new laboratory to concentrate their scattered theoretical and experimental efforts to design a nuclear weapon. Groves had security concerns and believed a remote site was required, which had a climate permitting year-round construction, provided safety from enemy attack, met specific transportation requirements along with access to adequate power, water, and fuel. The site would also have to provide an adequate testing ground and, for reasons of safety and security, need to be in a sparsely populated area. Oppenheimer proposed Los Alamos, New Mexico, whose primary occupants were the students and staff of the Los Alamos Ranch School, a residential boys' school. The school had a number of buildings suitable for housing scientists, and beautiful views from the mesa top to the east and of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Access to the mesa could easily be controlled by shutting the main entry road, and the road could be widened to accommodate tracks and heavy machinery. Canyons surrounding the site could be used for explosives tests.

Robert Oppenheimer的方向下，一群理论家在那天坐落于伯克利，为设计和建造核武器的初步计划。 1942年10月初，一般。工程师队曼哈顿区的指挥官Leslie Groves，从科学研究和发展办公室的科学家学习，他们需要一个新的实验室专注于设计核武器的分散的理论和实验努力。 Groves有安全问题，并相信需要一个偏远地点，这是一种气候允许全年建筑，提供了敌人攻击的安全，满足特定的运输要求以及获得充足的电力，水和燃料。该网站还必须提供足够的测试地面，并且由于安全和安全的原因，需要在稀疏的地区。 Oppenheimer提出了新墨西哥州洛杉矶阿拉莫斯，其主要占用者是洛斯阿拉姆斯牧场学院的学生和工作人员，是一个住宅男孩的学校。这所学校有许多适合住房科学家的建筑物，以及从梅萨顶到东部和Sangre de Cristo山脉的美丽景色。通过关闭主入口公路，可以​​轻松控制对MESA的进入，并且可以扩大道路以容纳轨道和重型机械。围绕该网站的峡谷可用于爆炸物测试。
