Did he hang?
No. Britain convicted him and sentenced him to 14 years, which was the maximum they could do since Russia was an "ally" at the time.

South Korea has launched a ballistic missile exercise in response to North Korea's latest nuclear test.
South Korea's military says it conducted a live-fire exercise involving a surface to surface ballistic missile and F-15K fighter jets.
Officials say the drill accurately hit designated targets in the East Sea.

What’s the Difference Between a Hydrogen Bomb and a Regular Atomic Bomb?
NYT article on the differences in nuclear bomb types and the various stages of design.

Not bad, but this is pretty inaccurate:
Chain reaction just takes one neutron to get started, and then it goes all by itself. It can only happen in U-235, the rare isotope that has to be separated from the far more common U-238 to make an atomic bomb out of uranium. It sounds like they're talking about fissioning a U-238 tamper used to help contain the thermonuclear package, which is how the first H-bomb, Ivy Mike, generated 85% of its 10 MT yield, a very, very dirty bomb indeed.

The swarms of neutrons set free [by fusion] can ramp up the explosive chain reaction of a uranium layer wrapped around it, creating a blast far more devastating than uranium fission alone.

Notice how USA took 7 years but Russia only took 4.
It was more like 3 for the US. The Manhattan Project began in 1942, though scientists at places like Berkeley and Chicago had been working on bomb design basically since fission was discovered in 1938.

If not for people like Fuchs and the Rosenbergs, we might not have ever had the Cold War.
Negative. The Russkies had excellent physicists and certainly would have figured it out on their own. Fuchs only provided a shortcut, probably not more than a small handful of years.

By the way, Fuchs was a 1940's SJW. You can just imagine him today marching with ANTIFA at Berkeley
They said the equivalent of that about Oppenheimer and half the scientists who worked on The Manhattan Project. It was extremely common for academics to flirt with the Communist party in the 1930s. It didn't amount to anything for the vast majority.
