At this point the spy ring was becoming very proficient at their jobs and were beginning to utilize surveillance detection routes to minimize the threat of being discovered by any potential US counterintelligence operation deployed against them. When the Soviets examined the information provided by Fuchs through the Rosenberg spy ring they noted the information to be, “extremely excellent and valuable”. The information contained many technical drawings of explosive ‘lenses’ to initiate the fission reaction within the bomb and numerous research reports encompassing almost every aspect of the atomic bomb design. The information also contained detailed descriptions of technical design breakthroughs made by the Los Alamos team that took the US years to…

Before Fuchs had been in the US he would have a tenure in Britain under the GRU but his greatest contributions would come from his time in the US. The significance of Fuchs’ passing of US atomic secrets to the Soviets was that it enabled the Soviets to properly make an atomic bomb and further understand nuclear technology. The FBI and US personnel’s were not aware of Soviet infiltration within US facilities until much later when suspicion and clear evidence had shown that there were spies…

The project was originally named Development of Substitute Materials. It included over 30 different research and production…

This made Truman approve the massive funding for the superpower race to…

for a stop to future developments of similar weapons (“J. Robert Oppenheimer”). If the war would not have continued at the cost of more bloodshed, he would have regretted his efforts put into the inception of the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer had even said to President Truman, “Mr. President, I have blood on my hands” (“Julius Robert Oppenheimer”). When this was said, a creator regretted his own creation.
