	Alan Nunn May - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alan Nunn May (May 2, 1911 — January 12, 2003) was a British physicist and a spy who supplied secrets of British and American atomic bomb research to the Soviets during the Manhattan project.
		He was sentenced to ten years hard labor, of which he served six.
		Damage inflicted by Nunn May’s espionage was not on level with that of Klaus Fuchs, nor that alleged to have been inflected by Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and was over less time, but was the first such case to be discovered, and revealed weaknesses in British and American security.

		In fact, Clare George's sepia-tinted account of the characters and issues surrounding prewar nuclear physics and the development of the bomb has a double relevance: the current international situation and also the recent deathbed confession of one of its real-life protagonists, Alan Nunn May, imprisoned after the war for passing nuclear secrets to the Russians.
		The two physicists were rapt neophytes together in Cambridge, and Walter, now revisiting his lecture notes in the light of nuclear knowledge not previously to hand, recalls the innocent excitement of scientific discovery and his enchantingly recounted courtship of Grace.
		Nunn May, on the other hand, recruited to the frontline of Allied physicists developing the atomic bomb, took time to respond to the stirrings of conscience.

		Alan Nunn May, a physicist working on the bomb in Canada had a bottle of whiskey with dollars in it forced upon him by an enthusiastic control whose reputation had just been made by his having received a small sample of enriched uranium to pass along to Moscow.
		It may well be that the Russians would have thought of, and attempted, an H-bomb without the encouragement provided by their learning of Teller's Los Alamos project-simply to top the Americans.
		And it may be that it would have been impossible, in the Stalinist period, to reach agreement with Russia to halt tests (perhaps because Stalin would have wanted to be sure the weapons worked) or even to halt the deployment of such weapons no matter how hard the U.S. tried.

		The model the Soviets used for much of the information gathering was to identify sources of knowledge, people who by their station in life had access to important data, and then placing agents near them who transmitted it up-line through their handlers and eventually to the Soviet intelligence leadership.

		The next day Gouzenko was able to find contacts in the RCMP who could understand his evidence, which led to the arrest of twelve Soviet spies, famously including Alan Nunn May, and to a royal commission on espionage in Canada.
		Even more importantly it alerted other countries around the world, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, that Soviet agents had almost certainly infiltrated their nations as well.
