worked on the development of the atomic bomb
Simply he was a main contributor to the atomic bomb.
Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project engineers test the bomb in the desert of New Mexico. It was an area called Trinity. It was near Alamogordo. Some of the city people could see the bomb mushroom a hundred miles away. Oppenheimer was disturbed by what he saw when Gadget was dropped.
During WW 2, J. Robert Oppenheimer was appointed as technical director of the Manhattan Project. Under his guidance, the creation of the first atomic bomb occurred.
Like most of the scientists on the Manhattan Project, the threat (or fear) that the Nazi's were developing an atomic weapon, basically compelled them (and the Army) to proceed with the development.
Not really. A very large team called the Manhattan Project, built the first atomic bombs. Oppenheimer was the civilian head of the team. General Leslie Groves was the military head of the project. Several hundred scientists and technicians worked on the project. The original idea of the bomb came from Leo Szliard (sp).
