Albert Einstein was a great scientist who was well-known for his Special Theory of Relativity E=mc2 (Energy=mass times the speed of light squared). Although he was a pacifist and did not want to help in the creation of such a weapon he found it necessary at the time. Einstein would never want Adolf Hitler to get control of such a weapon, and urged President Franklin Roosevelt to build the atomic bomb (doug-long.com) The atomic bomb was not the most powerful bomb that could be created using basic ideas from this principle.

It allows for the peaceful use of the technology, but it does not permit nations to help others by giving them or helping them develop nuclear weapons.

Many nations have access to nuclear weapons though. The United States placed the weapons in other countries claiming they were not helping the nations by giving the weapons to them because they were still under the control of the United States. Ukraine inherited five thousand nuclear bombs at the fall of the Soviet Union, and since then most were dismantled or sent to Russia.
