Detailed explanation-1: -Under Oppenheimer’s direction, Manhattan Project workers constructed a plutonium bomb. The plutonium bomb relied upon the implosion of the reactive plutonium rather than on the piercing of the plutonium with a bullet, which was common in gun-method bombs and which worked better with uranium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Germany did not produce any atomic bombs. American scientists, not German, created the first atomic pile. American scientists, not German, said after the first successful test, “We have this day crossed a great milestone in human progress” (Ford 213).
Detailed explanation-3: -J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was an American theoretical physicist. During the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer was director of the Los Alamos Laboratory and responsible for the research and design of an atomic bomb. He is often known as the “father of the atomic bomb."
