[ RadSafe ] [EXTERNAL] Re: ATOMIC OVERLOOK

[Maury]

*Please forgive my trivia, but I want to say thank you to those of you 
reviewing some of the processes involved in the decisions to use "The 
Bomb"  I remember that time very well and thoroughly recall the 
published history of that process.  That weapon was sought also by 
Russia, Japan (yes, Japan had an 'atomic program' in WWII), and 
Germany.  The US produced it and ended WWII by using it.  Thanks again 
for reviewing a few principal elements of that history.
Best,
