Hum,
Yeah, there is the possibility that he did create a few atoms of plutonium.
Easy enough to do really...

In fact, it`s  so simple that a kid could do it.

Yeah,
the bomb facts are  based on simple polonium/beryllium initiators designs… (from here)


As a side note an  ancient natural fission reactor was created 2,000 million years ago,  near Oklo (Gabon, West Africa)
it’s a weird case, and highlights of how  we sometimes forget how natural atomic reactors are…

Read about it here...

Hum,
is the University of California`s reactor hidden away under the gym building count/still working?


BTW There is the curious case of das boot U-234's uranium oxide shipment…

It’s worth a look at as a quirk of fate; canada/britian could have been the first to have had the bomb...but the boat was given up to the americans...and kicked started the the manhattan Project.
