The History of Testing The Atomic and The Thermonuclear Weapon
Description
The Christopher Nolan's film “Oppenheimer” was a huge hit, doubling box office projections for its opening weekend. The movie is based on the life of the controversial “father of the atomic bomb,” J. Robert Oppenheimer. However, Thomas Reifer says the film raises many critical issues, none more urgent than the vast increase in destructive power that came with the making of atomic and then thermonuclear weapons. “Unfortunately, the film doesn’t take the time to go into the period of U.S. testing of the H-Bomb, which along with the earlier atomic explosions, spread radioactive waste, and led to the infamous Lucky Dragon incident.” To learn more of his mission click the following link.
