General Leslie R, Groves, managed this project that had changed the world in many perspectives, while J.

Atomic bombs can be made of two types of heavy elements uranium or plutonium, which are both very reactive.

Areas that are closer to the hypocenter, the center of where the bomb explodes, tend to be more heavily destructed. Every
