Foyle's War: The Eternity Ring question

[james_davis_nicoll]

It's set in 1946 and involves "the Eternity Ring,a group of Soviet sympathizers bent on betraying Britain's atomic secrets". What was the state of British atom bomb research at this particular time?

(not a veiled put-down of Britain: I don't know much about the British nuclear weapons programs)

Yes, that is a good book. It makes clear the irony that the people who developed the bomb were mostly worried about the Nazis getting there first, and then the Nazis were defeated before the thing was ready to use.
