Similar efforts

A similar effort was undertaken in the USSR headed by Igor Kurchatov (with a specific difference in that some of Kurchatov's World War II investigations came secondhand from Manhattan Project countries, thanks to spies, including at least two on the scientific team at Los Alamos, Klaus Fuchs and Theodore Hall, unknown to each other). Token efforts in Germany, (headed by Werner Heisenberg,) and in Japan, were also undertaken during the war.

Together with the cryptographic efforts centered at Bletchley Park in England, Arlington Hall and the Naval Communications Annex (both in commandeered private girls' schools in Washington DC), and the development of microwave radar at MIT's Radiation Lab, the Manhattan Project represents one of few massive, secret, and outstandingly successful technological efforts spawned by the conflict of World War II.
