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)

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.

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

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.

There's no kitchen. Really? We'll fix that. (gripping music continues)

And the Hanford plant made this much plutonium.

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

What the hell were you doing in Chicago? Visiting the Met? - Why? Why? - Well, you can't talk to... Because we have every right... You have just the rights that I give you. No more, no less. We are adults trying to run a project here. This is ridiculous. Tell him. Compartmentalization is the protocol we agreed to.

Condon, put Mrs. Hornig here on the plutonium team.

I tried Personnel. They asked if I could type. Can you? Harvard forgot to teach that on the graduate chemistry course.

- FERMI: Oppie. - Dr. Fermi. (greets in Italian) I hear you got a little town. Yes. Come and see. (Szilard scoffs) Who could think straight in a place like that? Huh? Everybody will go crazy. Thank you for the vote of confidence, Szilard. Do we really... do we really need that in the notes? When are you going to try it out? We did. The first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. Didn't Groves tell you? No. (crackling) (Robert exhales) GUARD: One at a time, please, one at a time. Dr. Oppenheimer?

They put it under the football stadium? The field's not in use anymore. Just as well.

LLOYD GARRISON: General Groves, were you aware of Dr. Oppenheimer's left-wing associations when you appointed him? GROVES: I was aware that there were suspicions about him. I was aware he had a very extreme liberal background. In your opinion, would he ever consciously commit a disloyal act? I would be amazed if he did. GARRISON: So you had complete confidence in his integrity. At Los Alamos, yes, which is where I really knew him. General, did your security officers on the project advise you against the clearance of Dr. Oppenheimer? They could not and would not clear him until I insisted. And it's safe to say that you had a pretty good knowledge of Dr. Oppenheimer's security file. GROVES: I did. Well, then there's only really one question I need answered here today. In light of the current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? Do you have the guidelines? ROBB: Under current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? - (birds chirping) - (rooster crowing)

So you could control me. Well, I'm not that subtle. I'm just a humble soldier. You're neither humble nor just a soldier. You studied engineering at MIT. Guilty as charged. Well, now we understand each other, perhaps you can get me my security clearance so I can perform this miracle for you.
