that's what hanford was about was the reactors there were making plutonium. and they found that they couldn't use the same mechanisms to get a critical mass because the plutonium as it gets closertogether , you'd have to assemble it quickly and have a higher speed on the canon or change the purity of the plutonium. they could do either so they had to come up with a different way of getting a critical mass ofplutonium . adding the atoms closer together you can change. and so they came up with implosions and implosion takes up all of plutonium, in this case the size of a softball, 13 and a half pounds of material. grounding it by 5000 pounds of high explosives and the trick is to get all the high explosives and individual lenses to go off at the same instant and metrically compress that ball into something the size of a golf ball. it's critical mass, whom. so that was unknown and they didn't want to just drop it on japan and hope that it would work, they wanted to do a test so the test was scheduled for 4 am but thunderstorms in the area caused delays. they did
