"In 1942 he joined Tube Alloys, the codename for Britain’s wartime nuclear weapons programme. This highly secret project eventually merged with the US Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki."[1]

Well, not entirely, since the article says "He became a member of the secret British nuclear weapons research programme, code-name Tube Alloys, in 1942, moving back to Oxford in 1946." The link to Tube Alloys gives more information. If someone thinks more is needed in this article, then fine. BencherliteTalk17:04, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
