The co-creators of the Atomic bomb include Robert Oppenheimer, Albert Einstein, and Leo szilard. The way an atomic Bomb works is nuclear fission.In a nuclear reaction, scientists shoot a whole bunch of neutrons at uranium-235 atoms. When one neutron hits the nucleus, the uranium becomes U-236. When it becomes 236, the uranium atom wants to split apart.(chain reaction) Robert Oppenheimer worked to create the bomb in the Manhattan project, in New mexico. A majority of the scientists working under Robert were people who had managed to escaped the nazi’s (Italy, USSR, NAZI, and etc.) This nuclear fission was achieved using uranium-235. The Manhattan project started with a government funding of $6,000 (94,000.00) but at the end had a funding of $2 billion (29 billion).
