👉 The "Bomb Project" refers to a series of clandestine U.S. government efforts during the Cold War aimed at developing and deploying nuclear weapons, particularly thermonuclear devices. These projects, often shrouded in secrecy, sought to enhance the U.S.'s nuclear arsenal to counter the Soviet Union's growing nuclear capabilities. Notable among these was Project Ivy Core, which focused on improving the yield and reliability of thermonuclear bombs. The project also included research into delivery systems, such as intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). Despite significant scientific and engineering advancements, many of these projects were eventually canceled or scaled back due to political, financial, and ethical concerns.
