Today I fixed my blog about Virginia Hall and i researched a little. Klaus Fuchs was a famous spy from WWII.
- Manhattan project, code name for first atomic bomb
- Uranium 235- how many bombs the U.S. was making
- 1946-tried and convicted 14 years
- German born
- hydrogen bomb
- He joined the Communist party of Germany and he had to excape from the Nazis to England
- Working for Britsh on their atomic bomb project
- Gave Soviets info about U.S. and GB-said they had the right to know what they were developing
- 1943, transferred to U.S.
This paragraph in Wikipedia i dont understand but i think its important...
"His chief area of expertise was the problem of imploding the fissionable core of the plutonium bomb. At one point, Fuchs did calculation work that Edward Teller had refused to do because of lack of interest. He was the author of techniques (such as the still-used Fuchs-Nordheim method) for calculating the energy of a fissile assembly which goes highly prompt critical."
