Not quite so. This is one of the great historical enigmas. It centers around on of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, Werner Heisenbourg and the calculation of the critical mass.

Heisenbourg maintained, until his death that he was attempting a bomb. Yet he made a critical error and indicated that he did so intentionally. Odd? You bet!
