In 1939, it was rumored that the Nazis were developing an atomic bomb. During World War II, a secret laboratory was founded in Los Alamos, New Mexico, that would serve as a centralized facility to coordinate the scientific research of the Manhattan Project, the Allied project to develop the first nuclear weapons. In the years during the war, this secret laboratory was responsible for the development of the atomic bomb. In 1945, two atomic bombs built in Los Alamos were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The development of the atomic bomb had several worldwide implications for the uses of nuclear power. It led to a way to generate electricity for civilian use. With new technologies also came the creation of fresh jobs and the capabilities for more concentrated physiological studies of the human body. Each of these developments brought about numerous military, scientific, and economic advancements that changed our world forever.
According to the passage, nuclear technology is an example of
technology that has no applications other than those for military use
technology that should never have been created because it is too dangerous
technology that made all other scientific inquiry seem obsolete by comparison
technology that was first developed for the military but also has civilian uses
