Manhatten Project

Leo Szilard and Edward Teller were one of the top physicist and scientists. Szilard was born in Hungary but went to a German University. He then moved to the United States in 1938 along with Edward Teller, also from Hungary. A year later in July, both of these men went to Long Island where Einstein had stayed. These two men had told Einstein that they believe that Germany would be able to make an atomic bomb. They asked Albert Einstein to help them and alert the United States. Then Einstein wrote a letter to President Roosevelt saying that an atomic bomb could be made.

It had been about two or three months later until Roosevelt had gott

en the letter. America’s early research had already been organized at New York’s Columbia University, therefore it was called the Manhattan Project. This top-secret project was not only being researched in New York but also University of California at Berkley and University of Chicago. In 1942, the Manhattan Project moved its headquarters to Chicago.

One of Fermi’s technicians was to pull out one of the rods, to test the reaction of the structure. The farther the rod was pulled out, the louder the clicking noise got. The nuclear reaction had been successful and told the technician to push back the rod before it would blow up. Now they had to actually produce the atomic bomb. Nobel Prizes were given to the scientists of the University of Chicago that were working on the atomic bomb.

On July 16, 1945, near Alamogordo, New Mexico the first fission bomb on a tower and was tested on this deserted land. The nickname of this bomb was the “A-bomb”. The bomb cloud climbed 42,000
