the NUCLEAR bomb
The creation of the atomic bomb takes as a precedent the discovery of the nuclear fission, a physical process discovered at the end of 1938, of a group of scientists shaped by Leo Szilard, Eugene Paul Wigner, Albert Einstein and others. These studies were based on the advances obtained by the marriage Juliot-Curie. This group of scientists were supported economically by the North American government to do a deep investigation of the nuclear power in the frame of the development of the atomic bomb.
