In July 1941 began a race to produce an atomic weapon ahead of the Germans and in time to be used during the war. A director of a research, Nobel prize winner, Arthur H. Compton, made a time schedule for the project in January 1942:.
.
-By July 1942, to determine whether a chain reaction was possible.
-By January 1943, to achieve the first (controlled) chain reaction.
-By January 1944, to extract the first element 94 from uranium.
-By January 1945, to have a bomb. ( Spector, 551)(Hewlett and Anderson, The New World ).
In February 1940, research in the United States Started. "On December 6th, 1941, President Roosevelt authorized funds for the actual creation of the Manhattan Project.".
( Wilcox, 82). Six thousand dollars was available to start the research on the bomb. (Moss, 22). .
The Manhattan Project was put under the direction of the Office of Scientific Research and Development. This was headed by the president's top scientific advisor, Vannevar Bush. "In July 1941, Bush reported that if one should be perfected, an atomic explosive appeared feasible, its use in a war could quite possibly determine the outcome of the war."( Spector, 551). The Original members of the Atomic Energy Commission of independent agency initially did not tell the military either the number or how big the bombs that were being made were. (Hersh, 84). Now that the United States had started their production of the atomic bomb, it was a race with the Germans, who were perceived to have a two year advantage on America. "Manhattan Project" became the code name for the research work that would attend across country. "It was originally referred to as the wartime atomic bomb program." (Moss, 22).
The first development program for the atomic bomb started in Britain. The British program and the American program for atomic bombs were joined together. The two moved the research to the United States. They did this so that they can take advantage of the resources of the American Industry.
