Manhattan project

 


The Manhattan Project was a codename for a project conducted during World War II to develop the first atomic bomb. The project was led by the United States and included participation from the United Kingdom and Canada. formally designated as the Manhattan Engineer District (MID), it refers specifically to the period of the project from 1947–1946, under the control of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, under the administration of General Leslie R. Groves. The scientific research was directed by the American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. The project's roots lay in scientists fears since the 1930s that Nazi Germany was also investigating nuclear weapons of its own. Burned out of a small research program in 1939, the Manhattan project eventually employed more than 130,000 people and cost nearly $2 billion (22 billion on current value). It resulted in the creation of multiple production and research sites that operated in secret. With the total involved, this makes it one of the largest conspiracy theories in history. entire towns were biult for short periods of time, employing people, all under secrecy, and top national secrecy at that. The government never admitted to it, the media never reported on it, and people had no idea for over 32 years. Project research took place at over thirty sites across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The three primary research and production sites of the project were the plutonium production facility at what is now the Hanford site, the uranium enrichment facilities at Oak Ridge, Tennesse, and the weapons research and design labolatory known as Los Alamos National Labolatory.
