The first atomic bomb was produced by the US in 1945under the program known as the Manhattan Project (controlled and uncontrolled nuclear fission). The programs involved in building the bomb ultimately included 14 separate locations in the US. In December, 1942, a fission reaction was successfully initiated at the University of Chicago by Enrico Fermi and others. Work on the actual bomb(s) was conducted at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico under the direction of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. On July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was test detonated at Alamagordo, NM. Twenty-one days later, the city of Hiroshima, Japan, was destroyed by a nuclear explosive (August 6). On August 9, 1945, the city of Nagasaki was destroyed by a second bomb of a different type.

Why was the atomic bomb built?
Fear that Nazi Germany might do it first.
Where was the atomic bomb built?
It was built in New Mexico.
Soviets explode their first atomic bomb?
when Soviets explode first atomic bomb
What plane dropped the first atomic bomb?
The Enola Gay dropped the first atomic bomb.
Who is the strongest bomb tzar bombs or atomic bomb?
The Tsar Bomba was a type of atomic bomb, specifically a thermonuclear fusion bomb. It was the highest yield atomic bomb ever built at 52 to 58 MTons depending on method of measurement.The Tsar Bomba was not the largest atomic bomb ever built, that was Ivy Mike also a thermonuclear fusion bomb. Mike's yield was only 10 MTons.
Who built the first atomic bomb?
The first atomic bomb was created in the USA during the Second World War (Manhattan Project).

How did atomic theory lead to the atomic bomb discovery?
the atomic bomb was not discovered, it was invented then built.
What was Franklin D Roosevelt's response to the atomic bomb?
FDR never saw a working atomic bomb, he died before the first ones were built.

What project invented the atomic bomb?
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.
Soviets explode their first atomic bomb?

When was the first megaton atomic bomb built?
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.
Which man was the leader of the scientists and engineers who built the first American atomic bomb?
Dr RJ Oppenheimer.
