Heisenberg didn't understand fast neutrons yield and didn't solve the diffusion equation until a few days after Hiroshima.

I'd have to read the book again but it wasn't clear whether it was a
combination of NOT having the resources and/or conscious dragging of
their feet. What I remember is that it simply wasn't just lack of
resources. As a freshman at U. of Chicago I saw Werner Heisenberg
speak at a physics lecture - wasn't sure what he said ( my Heisenberg
principle: you can never verify that you both saw him AND understood
what he was talking about - it's one or the other!)
