The germans were in fact working on a FUSION bomb. As such, thanks to the aforementioned actions by Heisenberg who stole a critical calculation that showed a fusion bomb wouldn't work without a fission bomb to initiate it, the germans would never have succeeded.
thanks----I was wondering what the heavy water thing was
all about.
Deuterium and tritium. Both used for thermonuclear devices but totally worthless without an atomic bomb to set it off.
I did not know------and I did not know that one needs fission to do fusion-----just did not know------I am kinda surprised that those guys knew it all the way back then----like even before
there was a successful fission bomb. -------so you can't just
heat it up on the stove and expect it to FUSE!!!! <big giant bang>~~~~~~~~~ ??? I did not know. ------good thing-----
one can have lots of heavy water around and expect it NOT
TO EXPLODE INTO A NEW SUN (????)
The heavy water is used to process Uranium into fissionable material, it isn't used in a bomb. They did not know about a fusion bomb.
Oh---the heavy water creates the ISOTOPE??? sheeeesh------I thought that the fissionable uranium is naturally occurring-----and just needs to be PICKED out of the pile of uranium ???
Nope. He is incorrect.
