The Manhattan Project proved beneficial for the civilians as the research into nuclear technologies led to advancements in medicine and power generation.

Explanation:

The Manhattan Project was originally started to develop nuclear bombs so that the single-handed dominance of the United States could be established in the world. The bombs made in this project were also brought into use in the second world war to take a revenge over Japan for the Pearl Harbor attack. Since the end of the world war and the cold war, the Manhattan Project is said to have diverted its focus on the development of medicines and sustainable power generation.
