Best Answer

In the bomb, no.

However the US first "calutron" mass spectrometer uranium enrichment machines in WW2 were built with silver (borrowed from the treasury) magnet windings, because copper was not available in the war because it was being used in making bullets and ammo casings. This silver was returned after the war.
