Whether the information Fuchs passed relating to the hydrogen bomb would have been useful is still somewhat in debate.
Most scholars have agreed with the assessment made by Hans Bethe in 1952, which concluded that by the time Fuchs left the thermonuclear program the summer of 1946 there was too little known about the mechanism of the hydrogen bomb for his information to be of any necessary use to the Soviet Union ( the successful Teller-Ulam design was not discovered until 1951 ).
