The Manhattan Project was a research and development project that produced the first nuclear weapons during World War II. It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada. At first the research was based at only a few universities, including; Columbia University, the University of Chicago and the University of California at Berkeley. Funds were given more freely, and the project increased at an advanced amount of speed. The nuclear facilities were built at Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Hanford, Washington. The main assembly plant for the nuclear facilities was built at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Once everything had started to come closer to an end, the final bill of the project, had been totalled. It was around $2

Norris, Leslie Grove, and Robert Oppenheimer. In Robert Norris’ interview, he talks about the chronology of the Manhattan Project, the crucial role of the General Groves, and also has a discussion about the controversial decision to dropping the bomb. Leslie Groves’s interview is more focused on the discussion to the start of the Manhattan Project, and the troubles he had working with others to design the bomb. Last but not least, Robert Oppenheimer discusses the organization it took for the Manhattan Project, and also some of the biggest challenges that scientists faced during the …show more content…
In his interview, he explained that every single person working on the Manhattan Project or designing the atomic bomb had a specific task that they had to get done. He would always get so frustrated with people working on the Manhattan Porject because he thought there had been a lot of “slacking” wile working. From Robert Norris’ interview, he explained how difficult and challenging it had been working on the project while being “recruited” with Leslie Groves. Leslie had never wanted a minute wasted during the creation of the project. He stated that; “Every person was recieved a specific task, there was no breaks, nor excuses for the work not being finished.” Groves loved the idea of the Manhattan project and thought it had just been the best solution to end World War Two.
They all relate to each other in similarities due to the actual work and process of creating the Manhattan Project and the atomic bomb. They had all had their certain part or job in the creation of the Manhattan Project. All of them had many times when they would come across some difficulties and challenges during the creation. Not only did they help with the creation of the project, they also helped create different solutions that had to be done when new experimental techniques had been introduced to them. Whether or not they were for, or against the Manhattan Project, it had occured in
