Uh, there aren't any big enough. Perhaps a vital war plant with workers housed nearby. And we could issue a warning to reduce civilian casualties. They'd send everything they have up against us, and I'd be up in that plane. But if we announce it and it fails to go off, we'd scupper any chance of a Japanese surrender. Is there no way to demonstrate a bomb to Japan to provoke surrender? We intend to demonstrate it in the most unambiguous terms. Twice. Once to show the weapon's power and a second to show that we can keep doing this until they surrender. We have a list of 12 cities to choose from... Sorry, 11. I've taken Kyoto off the list due to its cultural significance to the Japanese people. Also, my wife and I honeymooned there. It's a magnificent city.

FRANK: Ground zero observation posts at 10,000 yards north, south and west. - Where do we trigger from? - Uh, south 10,000. And base camp is ten miles south, here. And there's a further observation post on-on that hill 20 miles away. What's that, Frank? Trigger lines already went in. The Air Force requested a line of lights for their B-29. What B-29? Our bomb's on the tower. FRANK: They want to use the test to confirm a safe operating distance. That's risky. Not as risky as dropping one over Japan and hoping that we were right about the blast radius. Don't let them slow us down, we're firing on the 15th. - The 15th? That's not... - GROVES: The 15th. The 15th.
