He said the United States, Britain and Canada decided in recent Washington talks against testing the new British weapon iri the American try-outs at Eniwetok atoll. The Ministry of Supply, in charge of atomic development, re- fused to confirm or deny the im- plication. As early as May, 1948. Defence Niznister A. V. Alexander said re- search and development, on de- fence weapons, “includinq atomic weapons." was going forward. Sir John Cockroft, the head of Britain's atom research establish- ment, is the discoverer of the par- ticle that splits the bomb alums. He worked on the American bomb project during the war, To scien- tists it has long been lncredhhle that there could be arfy secrets of the A-bomb structure from the British scientists. ' Britain, Canada and the United States pooled their work on the bomb during the war. It was not until i945 that an atom research station otf any size was set up in Britain, at Harwell, Oxfordshire.
