Credit to this invention usually goes to Lawrence Livermore Lab's Samuel Cohen in 1958. The ERW was tested in 1963. Development was halted by President Carter in 1978 and restarted by President Reagan in 1981. Some weapons were retired in 1992 by President George Bush. The last warhead was dismantled in 2003.

What did Leo Szilard need to do in order to invent the atomic bomb?

As he did not have to build the atomic bomb, all that he had to do to invent the atomic bomb was to think.That is really all that is required for most inventions: think of a new and novel way to do something.What Leo Szilard invented that was new and novel was the neutron chain reaction, the process that in the atomic bomb drives the exponentially accelerating nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium atoms. However he did not know about either nuclear fission or what elements might be able to support the neutron chain reaction process that he invented. This took the work of others before the atomic bomb could actually be built.
