And the Manhattan Project only managed to enrich enough uranium for one bomb.
- gruez 6y agoBut they had no trouble making two bombs to drop on japan?
- makomk 6y agoThe other bomb dropped on Japan used plutonium, as did the Trinity nuclear test. (Yes, the US had so little uranium that the bomb design using it wasn't even tested before it was used against Japan.)
