@wellerstein When Kurchatov made the comment quoted here, he had only reviewed espionage on uranium work in the UK, not on any US activity.
@alistairsponsel That is a good point (and that quote was from VERY early in the Sov. program), but not what I had in mind.

@wellerstein Are you referring to the fact that US alarm was prompted by discovery of fission products rather than bomb "explosion" itself? -
@alistairsponsel Much more banal! Correct answer: Fuchs wasn't arrested by the FBI. He was arrested by Scotland Yard. Wrong country.
