It's an atomic test.

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?

Thanks for convening on short notice. I can't believe it.

- Is that... - ROBERT: Mrs. Serber, yes. I've offered jobs to all the wives. Admin, librarians, computation. We cut down on staff, keep families together. - Are these women qualified? - ROBERT: Don't be absurd. These are some of the brightest minds in our community. And they're already security cleared. I've informed General Groves you've been holding cross-divisional open discussions - on a nightly basis. - Shut them down. Compartmentalization is the key to maintaining security... CONDON: It's only the top men. Who presumably communicate with subordinates. These men aren't stupid. - They can be discreet. - I don't like it. You don't like anything enough for that to be a fair test.

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.

SERBER: We can now consider the actual mechanics of detonation. ROBERT: Any ideas? SERBER: I call this "shooting." We fire a chunk of fissionable material into a larger sphere with enough force to achieve criticality. What do we think? Anyone? TOLMAN: I've been thinking about implosion. Explosives around the sphere blast inwards, - crushing the material. - (blasting) I'd like to investigate that idea. I'll talk to Ordnance, get you blowing things up.

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.

This is fantasy. Teller's calculations can't be right. Do them yourself while I go to Princeton. - What for? - To talk to Einstein. Well, there's not much common ground between you two. That's why I should get his view. (birds chirping)

The Russians have a bomb. We're supposed to be years ahead of them, but some... What were you guys doing at Los Alamos? Wasn't security tight? Of course it was. You weren't there. - It was... - NICHOLS: Forgive me, Doctor... but I was there.

- Albert. - Hmm? Ah. Dr. Oppenheimer. (chuckles) Well, have you met Dr. Gödel? We walk here most days. Trees are the most inspiring structures. Albert, might I have a word? Of course. 'Scuse me, Kurt.

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.
