Canada made three main contributions to the Manhattan Project. First, Canada supplied and processed uranium. The Americans used this uranium to research and develop atomic bombs. (Canada would continue to supply the US with uranium for military uses for about two decades after the war.) Second, Canada played an important role in researching the extraction and production of plutonium. Plutonium is also used in nuclear weapons. Third, Canada provided many researchers and scientists, as well as key facilities for research and production.
Canada helped us build the atomic bombs we dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The first scientist to be killed by radiation was a Canadian scientist working on the atomic bombs.
Thanks Canada.
