The UK started an atomic bomb project with the cryptonym TUBE ALLOYS which was folded into the Manhattan Project after the Quebec Agreement of 1943.

The Quebec Agreement was a combination of both a working-together arrangement and the prototype for a NNPT.

The initial TUBE ALLOYS project was based on the Frisch-Peierls memorandum, writen at Birmingham University in 1940.

For the sole benefit of Ironman, this is Birmingham, England, not Birmingham, Alabama.

Incorrect. That was not a British government project to develop an atomic weapon. It was a small paper written by two scientists who said it could be done. Many such papers were witten on many technologies. They do not constitute a concerted government project. :shock:

I agree with you (you must be learning).

However, the Manhattan project was worked on by men and women from many Nationalities. Jan has already stated the resons why the UK couldnt at that time do it. Although a great many UK scientists contributed to it.

It would still help you to read previous posts though.

Reason - selective quotation in that you have ignored the part of my post that explains what TUBE ALLOYS refers to. I suspect this is so you can try and start an argument.

One of the things I found most charming about the US is the way parents educate their chidren to be respectful of their elders. Clearly something was missed in your case.

Given that you have been outed as a 15 year old, isn’t it time you were doing your homework?

At least you’ve made one step by not denying that British scientists worked on the Manhattan Project. Now take one more and admit that for them to work on the Manhattan Project, they would have been experienced physicists who knew what they were doing. How did they get this experience and knowledge without working on similar projects?

Missed this and on re-reading I have to agree.

I therefore retract 90% of my last post.

You have not answered the question. Why did britain not have their own project to develop nuclear weapons?

The British did not have such a project. Why not? Do you need an interpretor for this utterly simple question?

You have the answer above. The US in 1940 didnt have this project either. By the time it was implemented it was somewhat of an allied project.

Either provide the facts than in 1940 the US had an A-Bomb project or desist with the TROLL.

Simple enough.

Not just physicists either:

Under Kistiakowsky’s direction, a new site, Sawmill, off S-Site, was constructed between December 1943 and May 1944. James Tuck, a member of the British Mission at Los Alamos, had worked in England on the use of combinations of different explosives to “focus” detonation waves and headed a group to develop an explosive lens for the implosion gadget. After von Neumann suggested a workable design for the lens, Lt. Cmdr. Norris Bradbury, a Stanford physics professor assigned to the Dahlgren Proving Ground of the U.S. Navy Ordnance Bureau, was recruited in June 1944 to solve the problem of casting the high explosives for the design.
