so there were -- los alamos. so there were these people who got together in the early '50s to take down oppie. i think it's because we as a country had come to a fork in the road. and oppie would say maybe we should be rethinking this fork that we're going down in nuclear weapons. maybe we should go a different way. and so in december of 1953 a report was given to president eisenhower saying more probably than not oppenheimer was a soviet spy. so, of course, ike then created a wall around oppie. oppenheimer still had his top secret clearance. a couple days before christmas in 1953, louis strauss had oppie come into his office and say, you know, there's this report about you, and we're going to have to remove your top security clearance. you can either go quietly and nobody will know, or we can have a hearing. but this was, in a way, a public humiliation. it was suppose to be secret. soon after it ended, the 997-page transcript was released to newspapers. it was made public so that everybody heard what had happene

here's your temporary security pass to get into los alamos. so they got in there, scientists assembled in march 1943. they decided that they needed to do multiple ways of trying to make this weapon. and part of the problem was the nuclear material, the uranium or plutonium, it was miniscule. plutonium is totally man-made. and so a reactor in washington was created to then manufactured this plutonium. uranium, it is naturally made but the part that is used for bombs, only about 1% of what occurs in nature. so how do you refine that come how do you east dracula 1% out? fy the big industrial complex at oak ridge was made to kind of separate this isotope of uranium for the rest of it and assemble it in a big enough quantity it could be used for a bomb. part of the delay was material, was the radioactive material. part of it was hard to figure out how to assemble this into aa bomb. there were two different ways. one was a gun at some the bump and that took uranium in one part of the bomb, uranium in another part of the bomb, have high explosive beh

trinity site exists because there was two bomb designs at los alamos. one was a uranium facepalm, uranium 235 and simply shot one lump of uranium into another lump to get a critical mass and boom, supercritical it explodes. that's bomb used on hiroshima and august 6th. it was untested that was dropped on hiroshima. whoever that's a slow process to get the uranium 235 separated from the uranium 238. rhenium is a fairly common element but to get to do a change reaction you have to have you 235 which is a sub product and less than 1% of the uranium is this you 235. that's what it's all about separating u235 from you 238. it's a slow process. they also found when you run reactor one of the byproducts is plutonium which, by the way his divisional ball as well. you can have it go critical if you get the mass correct. you can make it and quickly separated in a chemical process. that is what hanford was about, the reactors there were making plutonium. they found that they couldn't use the same mechanism to get a critical mass because the plutonium as it gets cl

klaus fuchs arrived at los alamos after working on calculations in new york. what does he do? he works on one of the most sensitive areas, the implosion calculations for the plutonium bomb. they were working on two different types of bombs, uranium and plutonium. and he is feeding information back to the soviets. people inpular with society always will be to , babysit, very sociable, lends his old buick to a colleague. very quiet but everybody's friend. nobody notices some of the absences. and as you were saying, the soviet program significantly advanced by what fuchs was telling them. i think that was the reason they were able to explode their own device as early as they were. if i get the date right, it was 1949 that the russians were able to explode their device. and it is also the reason perhaps for stalin's calm and cool response at the conference where president truman wandered over to him having decided it was the moment to tell stalin there was a new weapon. and stalin just smiles and says he's very glad to hear about this and hopes the americans and british will use i

now, los alamos is one of the most prosperous countries -- counties in the country. they have a highest per capita number of phd's in the country in the county. it has transformed the state. that is a lot of spinoffs come from research into nuclear physics, people decide they don't want to work in los alamos, they create their own businesses. there is a ripple effect through northern new mexico. blue have high-tech jobs to come up with a good idea and spin it off in the run businesses. state that was in the backwaters of the country, not well known and is you are tourist to came through and so the beautiful landscapes and interesting cultures of new mexico, and made it more mainstream. >> what lessons do we learn from oppenheimer? we still refer to a massive effort to use science and government and business to come up with a solution for the world's problems. we need to do a manhattan project on this. that in have back in -- the back of our minds. was is this impossible feat accomplished by dedicated people working hard to come up with something that nobody else had

means new research and development such as the manhattan project in los alamos that has in some ways has a presence in west texas and amarillo and the weapons technology, the employment necessary to staff these new training grounds stretching all the way like i said from texas across the arid southwestern desert to mexico and arizona into naval bases shipbuilding aviation construction in southern california. all of them jobs that require college education especially s.t.e.m. oriented education sex -- science technology engineering and math. this is a transforming the landscape of what the south and the southwest exist to provide the american people but it's also radically transforming the need for colleges and universities and research universities and relocating people from other parts of the country into the american sunbelt. you see this in the american south, florida and georgia north carolina and all the way through texas mexico arizona california nevada. you are going to see a lot of weapons testing in the nevada desert and a lot of development cold war and post-world war ii re

but los alamos and idaho both very involved in the nuclear weapons side of things. so super computing, and the reason super computing is so important, and i'm going to get off one one more little tangent here. you would not think the department of energy would be involved in medical research, but we are. we are involved that because of the super computing capacity that we have. for instance, on the veterans health side, post-traumatic stre stress, traumatic brain injury and suicide prevention is very important in that sector, as it is in professional football and hockey and our kids playing sports. from the traumatic brain injury. we're working in conjunction, we being doe is working in conjunction with the university of california san francisco in their neurosciences department and they are accessing the super computers at the department of energy to find solutions to questions that beforehand were just impossible to answer because they did not have the computing capability. and today, because we have allowed them access to these super computers, we're finding answ

physicist that they set him up with his own laboratory, essentially, out in livermore, a while los alamos continued to develop both the fission and the fusion bomb. of course, it was all secret until the first explosions. there was one test in new mexico, but nobody knew what it was. and then there were the two bombs dropped in japan to end the war. and there was a lot of sentiment to hail the advent of the atomic age as a very positive thing. thething, maybe, as some of political people argued, a war would become obsolete, because these weapons were too powerful, no one would there use them. of course, we just had, so there was a great euphoria, actually, about this time, over all things atomic. to the point where atomic physicists were looked to as enlightened people on how we should manage our educational system in the country and all sorts of things about which they knew nothing. you remember, perhaps, or you don't remember, but you've read and seen the pictures of the atomic cafe and the atomic cocktail and sputnik when sputnik went around the world, the satellite. that whole era of
