Would giving soviets the atomic bomb secrets prevented the cold war would it have evened out the playing field?

No, because the soviets already had all the atomic bomb secrets even before the bombs were dropped on Japan! The secrets were handed to them by spies at Los Alamos who were designing the bombs!The only thing that delayed a soviet atomic bomb from 1945 to 1949 when they detonated their copy of Fatman (built directly from stolen Fatman plans) was the time it took to build the industrial infrastructure needed to make plutonium and the other bomb components.Another thing to realize is there are no real secrets about nuclear weapons. It is all physics that any good physicist can figure out. The soviets actually had their own independent atomic bomb design by 1947 that was better than the stolen Fatman, but Beria would not let the atomic scientists build and test it until after the stolen Fatman design was tested (and nothing could be tested until 1949 as stated above). Both the US and USSR independently developed and tested hydrogen bombs only 1 year apart!
