Opis

The UK was the first country to undertake atomic energy research and development for military purposes. In 1940 the British government commissioned a group of scientists to study the possibilities of manufacturing a ‘uranium bomb’ in wartime. First published in 1984, this book traces the development of British nuclear weapons.
