(3,782 posts)12. For the record, neither the Nazis nor the Empire of the Sun where anywhere near having nukes
The Nazis had only one measurement for the neutron cross-section of carbon which was erroneous, causing them to rule it out as a possible moderator for reactors, and our allies blew up their last heavy water plant. They never had a reactor that sustained a chain reaction and even if they had, they had nowhere near the resources we needed to apply to turn that accomplishment into a weapon. As for the Japanese, the few people they had working on atomic science were mostly doing it to avoid their own military draft, and had no hope of even building something that might resemble a reactor.
