Enough of this madhouse. Nobody can work under these conditions. You know what, Generalissimo? I quit. Thanks for nothing.

The biggest man-made explosion in history. Now let's calculate how much more destructive it would have been if it were a nuclear and not a chemical reaction. Expressing power in terms of tons of TNT. But it will be thousands. Well, then kilotons.

And the Hanford plant made this much plutonium.

Albert. When I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world. Mm, I remember it well. What of it? I believe we did. (suspenseful music continues) (rhythmic stomping)

Halifax. 1917. A cargo ship carrying munitions explodes in the harbor. (explosions) A vast and sudden chemical reaction. (violent whooshing)

Can a distinction be made between Soviet Communism and Communism? Well, in the days when I was a member, I thought they were definitely two things. - Oh? - I thought that the Communist Party of the United States was concerned with our domestic problems. I now no longer believe this. Believe the whole thing's linked together and spread all over the world, and I have believed this since I left the Party 16 years ago. - But... - Seventeen years ago. My mistake. - But you said... - Sorry, 18. Eighteen years ago.

GROVES: Progress? Nice to see you too. Meet the British contingent. Dr. Oppenheimer, Klaus Fuchs. How long have you been British? Since Hitler told me I wasn't German. Uh-huh. Come, welcome to Los Alamos. School's up and running. Bar. Always running. And I thought of a way to reduce support staff.

Using U-235, - the bomb will need a... - Uh-uh. Sorry. Gadget will need a 33-pound sphere about this size. Or using plutonium, the ten-pound sphere.

Oppenheimer

Now, if we can enrich these amounts, - we need a way to detonate them. - (paper tearing) Are we boring you, Edward? TELLER: A little bit, yes. May I ask why? TELLER: We all entered this room knowing a fission bomb was possible. How 'bout we leave it with something new? Such as? Instead of uranium or plutonium, we use hydrogen. (others murmur and laugh) - TELLER: Heavy hydrogen. - FEYNMAN: Hydrogen. Deuterium. You see? We compact the atoms together under great pressure to induce a fusion reaction.

When it became clear to me that we would tend to use any weapon we had.

Well, here we are. Catch me up. What do we know? One of our B-29s over the North Pacific has detected radiation. Do we have the filter papers? There's no doubt what this is. White House says there's a doubt. Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. Are those the long-range detection filter papers?

Oppenheimer

42.4s

Then we'll get not kilotons, but megatons. FEYNMAN: A big fission reaction... Okay, hang on, hang on. So how do you generate enough force to fuse hydrogen atoms? A small fission bomb. FEYNMAN: There we are. - (laughter) - (scattered applause) Well, since we're going to need one anyway, can we get back to the business at hand? SENATOR BARTLETT: The isotopes issue wasn't your most important policy disagreement with Dr. Oppenheimer. It was the hydrogen bomb, wasn't it? Uh, as colleagues, we agreed to disagree on a great many things, uh, and, well, one of them was the need for an H-bomb program, yes. - (siren wailing) - (uneasy music playing)

It's an atomic test.

Once a week. Top men only. I'd like to bring my brother here. No.
