The Manhattan project
This is a picture of the Nuclear Bomb , which was finished in 1945 by Chadwick, and the rest of America.
Following the discovery of the neutron, World War 2 was occurring in 1939, and the he was asked by the United States of America to help build the atomic bomb. He said he could build and it was very possible. Unfortunately, his working conditions in Liverpool were very tough. He kept having to take cover from air-raids from Germany. But he did make progress. In 1941, Chadwick sent a report of his research to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the U.S started pouring millions of dollars in the project.
In 1943, he was greeted in America to look at the working facilitates for the Manhattan Project. He was one of only three people who had access to all of America's research, along with General Leslie Groves, and Major General Thomas Francis Farrell. Then in 1944, he and his family moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico, the main research center, to continue research there.
After lots of hard work and research, the bomb was completed and successfully detonated at the Nuclear Trinity Test, on July 16, 1945. Later, he was awarded for his longtime contribution in war, the Medal of Merit from the British in 1946 and became Sir James Chadwick.
