THE DECISION TO DROP THE BOMB
![Page 33: The Pacific Theater](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56812ba4550346895d8fd6a5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Einstein’s LetterEinstein’s Letter In the course of the last four months it has been made probable -
through the work of Joliot in France as well as Fermi and Szilard in America - that it may become possible to set up a nuclear chain reaction in a large mass of uranium, by which vast amounts of power and large quantities of new radium-like elements would be generated. Now it appears almost certain that this could be achieved in the immediate future.
This new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs, and it is conceivable - though much less certain - that extremely powerful bombs of a new type may thus be constructed. A single bomb of this type, carried by boat and exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port together with some of the surrounding territory. However, such bombs might very well prove to be too heavy for transportation by air...
Yours very truly,
(Albert Einstein)
