Answer

The Manhattan Project was the American project that developed the atomic bomb during World War II. Soviet physicist Igor Kurchatov effectively used intelligence on the project to develop a Soviet atomic bomb. Kurchatov had access to information about the Manhattan Project from Soviet spies, such as Klaus Fuchs, who worked on the project. This information helped Kurchatov to develop the Soviet atomic bomb, which was tested in 1949.
