It was not built at any university, although work for the Manhattan Project on various parts of it were done at several universities across the US. Actual design and assembly of the bomb was at Los Alamos, NM; the administration of which was assigned to the University of California (but at no time was Los Alamos a university).
After the war industrial atomic bomb factories were created; the administration of which was contracted out to various large corporations.
The very first nuclear reactor was Chicago Pile 1. It was built for research and scientific use. The first nuclear reactor outside of a university was built (at Hanford, Washington) primarily to yield plutonium for the atomic bomb destined for Nagasaki, Japan. Nuclear reactors were built primarily for electrical generation beginning in about 1951.
I suggest reading Richard Rhodes books: The Making Of The Atomic Bomb and Dark Sun. They can explain it more clearly than can be done here.
There have only been two. So far. The first was Hiroshima.
the atomic bomb and the nuclear reactor
Before the very scientifically complex atomic bomb, other bombs are just basically tons of explosive stuff jammed into a bombshell, so it wasn't too advanced there.
The first atomic bomb was created in the USA during the Second World War (Manhattan Project).

Fear that Nazi Germany might do it first.
the atomic bomb was not discovered, it was invented then built.
FDR never saw a working atomic bomb, he died before the first ones were built.
It was built in New Mexico.
in 1943
1943
The atomic bomb was not invented by a project, it was invented by Leo Szilard in 1933.However the Manhattan Project built the first ones in 1945.

A pure fission atomic bomb with a yield of a megaton or more is theoretically impossible. The problem is that the chain reaction would happen spontaneously before the device could even be completely built and the bomb parts would melt, resulting in a fizzle and killing everyone building it.The first fusion atomic bomb (commonly called a hydrogen bomb) was tested in 1952 as Ivy Mike and had a 10 megaton yield. The highest yield pure fission atomic bomb ever built was also tested in 1952 as Ivy King and had a 500 kilotons yield.
