About This Blog

On August 9, 1945, the US Army Air Force dropped the plutonium-fueled Fat Man atomic bomb over Nagasaki, Japan in the second, and so far, the last nuclear bombing in history. The Manhattan Project facility at Hanford produced the plutonium used in Fat Man bomb. We are offering this Lights for Peace virtual experience to commemorate and the atomic bombings of Japan in the waning days of World War II and recognize the historical trauma of these events. Lights for Peace aims to provide you an opportunity to remember and reflect on these world-changes events of 75 years ago and share your reflections on these events and meaning of peace using the comment section below.
