There was a race that involved US, UK, and Canada during World War II; they wanted to build an atomic bomb in fear that Nazi Germany would create them first. This project was called the Manhattan Project (1942 to 1946), the project was under the command of Major General Leslie R. Groves Jr. of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Einstein, Szilard, Fermi, and President Roosevlet were main people involved in this project.

Were the scientists who made the atomic bomb German captives who cooperated with the us to make the bomb?

No, everyone working on the Manhattan Project worked voluntarily, none were prisoners. They were an assortment of people: US citizens, British citizens, Canadian citizens, prewar European refugees, Danish refuges escaped from the Nazis, etc. Many were German Jews determined not to let the Nazis get an Atomic bomb first.


How did Russia get atomic bomb and When did they make it?

Russia developed its own atomic bomb by conducting extensive research and espionage on the American nuclear program. They successfully tested their first atomic bomb on August 29, 1949, becoming the second country to possess nuclear weapons after the United States.


Who is creator of atomic bomb?

The atomic bomb was created by a team of scientists led by J. Robert Oppenheimer at the Manhattan Project during World War II. Oppenheimer is often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb" for his leadership in the project.

What training did albert Einstein use to make the atomic bomb?

Albert Einstein did not directly work on making the atomic bomb. He did write a letter to President Roosevelt in 1939 warning of the potential of nuclear weapons, which led to the start of the Manhattan Project. However, it was scientists like J. Robert Oppenheimer and Enrico Fermi who led the research and development efforts to create the atomic bomb.


Was the knowledge from atom bomb used to make a nuclear reactor?

No, Enrico Fermi constructed and operated the first nuclear reactor (CP-1) in 1942. Several larger nuclear reactors were needed first to make the plutonium for the MK-3 Fatman atomic bomb, which was not tested until 1945. Their principles of operation are quite different, except that both operate by nuclear chain reaction.


When did enrico fermi invent the nuclear bomb?

Fermi did not invent the fission bomb, Leo Szilard did in 1933. But nobody could build one because no material that would support a neutron chain reaction was known until 1938 when Otto Hahn discovered that the rare isotope Uranium-235 would. Even then it took the US from 1942 to 1945 to build the industrial infrastructure needed to purify enough of this isotope to actually build one Uranium bomb and fuel 3 reactors that could each make enough Plutonium in a month to make a Plutonium bomb.
