There were 7 out of a total of 14- and their names were:
many, they worked at los alamos, UC Berkeley, Chicago, hanford, oak ridge, New York City, wendover; it was the highest priority war project and identifying yourself with its secret priority code word "silverplate" got you anything instantly even if many others doing other things had been waiting weeks for the same thing because of shortages.
Richard Feynman even got a General that had already boarded a train kicked off so he could get to a meeting on time using "silverplate". The General's priority was not as high as "silverplate".
130,000 people involved
3842 scientist
the US army headed a secret team of scientists called the Manhattan project - they did the science, developed the ideas and worked with engineers to make the first atomic bomb on 1944-1945.

The top secret program to build an atomic bomb was called the Manhattan Project. It was so secret the top Generals and Admirals did not know about it. The people who worked on the project often did not know what they were working on. All the workers lived in places that were developed from the ground up and they could not talk about what they were doing. Even Vice President Truman did not know about it until after President Roosevelt died.
Robert R. Wilson, Lise Meitner, and Otto R. Frisch America's Manhattan project was headed by J Robert Openheimer. His principle assistants were Hans Bethe, Victor Weisskopf, Earnest Lawrance and Enrico Fermi.
Albert Einstein worked with a large number of scientists including Robert Oppenheimer and Edward Teller. He also worked with John Manley on the Manhattan Project.

no
No. The men involved with the Manhattan project were scientists and worked many years on the development of the bomb. Einstein was one of the men.
There weren't 6 African scientists on the Manhattan project. They were all European or American. It was rare indeed for a black man to be allowed an education in those days. It is doubtful that any got so far as to achieve a PhD in physics or chemistry. It is certain that none were part of project Manhattan. ------------- The above comment is not true - African-American scientist J. Ernest Wilkins got a PhD in 1942 and from 1944 worked on the Manhattan Project in the University of Chicago's Met Lab.
worked on the development of the atomic bomb
Albert Einstein, he and a team of scientists worked on the Manhattan project which resulted in the creation/invention of nuclear weaponry
Many people that worked on the Manhattan Project eventually felt this way. One group of them started publishing the magazine "The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists".
A physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project (the first nuclear bomb).
Not really. A very large team called the Manhattan Project, built the first atomic bombs. Oppenheimer was the civilian head of the team. General Leslie Groves was the military head of the project. Several hundred scientists and technicians worked on the project. The original idea of the bomb came from Leo Szliard (sp).
