There were a number of top secret programs to build an atomic bomb. If you mean the secret plan of the US, it was called the Manhattan Project.
While considerable scientific and theoretical work had begun as early as1939, the Army Corps of Engineers set up the Manhattan EngineerDistrict in August of 1942 and advanced Colonel Leslie R. Groves to therank of Brigadier General one month later and placed him in charge.Groves was responsible for establishing the Oak Ridge site and LosAlamos, but the scientific effort was led by J. Robert Oppenheimer.
The first separation of uranium isotopes was in 1942 in USA - electromagnetic separation (the installation was named calutron).
