First off, if you need this for an essay or quiz for class, do NOT write Hydrogen Bomb! You mean an atom bomb, which uses nuclear fission. Hydrogen Bombs were created after WWII, and have never been used in warfare. They are about the equivalent of 1,000 atom bombs. They actually have an atom bomb inside them, so when it explodes it provide the conditions necessary to detonate the rest of the bomb. So don't say hydrogen bomb.

Second of all, since the Manhattan Project was top secret, only the President and a few others knew of it. Truman was unaware until Roosevelt Died in April 1945; he was informed of it when he became president.
