Signed a letter to FDR that Leo Szilard had written. That is the one and only thing Einstein did related to the fission bomb project.
None, Einstein had no part in either inventing or making atomic bombs except to sign a letter to FDR that Leo Szilard had written. Leo Szilard is the inventor of both the atomic bomb and reactor.
He signed a letter that Leo Szilard wrote to FDR. That is all.
Einstein did not invent the atomic bomb, Leo Szilard did.
Never. It was invented and patented by Leo Szilard in 1934 and built by the US Manhattan Project between 1943 and 1945. Einstein's main contribution was simply to sign a letter Szilard wrote to FDR warning of the dangers if the Germans built one first.
About the time Leo Szilard told him about it and had Einstein sign the letter Szilard had written to FDR.
FDR. However Einstein did not write the letter to FDR he only signed it, Leo Szilard wrote it putting Einstein's name on it as FDR was more likely to respond to it that way, then Szilard convinced Einstein to sign it. The words were Szilard's only the signature was Einstein's.
Leo Szilard wrote a letter in Albert Einstein's name and had Einstein sign it (because Einstein was well known and thus much more likely that the president would take the letter seriously than if the letter was written in Szilard's name).

Nobody.It was Leo Szilard, a Hungarian who had invented the Atomic Bomb in 1933 while living in London that wrote a letter to FDR about the risk if the Nazis built the atomic bomb first, then had Einstein sign it. The Szilard-Einstein letter eventually started the Manhattan Project.
