Germany never managed to enrich more than a few grams
of Uranium


I thought that U-235 captured from German was used in the Hiroshima
bomb.



Why?

Because I read that it did, that's why?

The U.S. already had enough.

Ok, how much weapons grade U-235 did the US have early in 1945,
befor the German material was captured?

What do you think that big building at Oak
Ridge was for?

I'm well aware that the US had a diffusion facility. What makes you
think that precludes using material refined elsewhere?
