Robert Oppenheimer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Oppenheimer and other GAC opponents of the project, especially James Conant, felt personally shunned and considered retiring from the committee. |
 | | Most of the GAC members were against a crash hydrogen bomb development program then, and in fact, Conant, Fermi and Rabi had submitted even more strongly worded reports against it than Oppenheimer. |
 | | McMillan's argument is that because the hydrogen bomb appeared to be well within reach in 1951, everybody had to assume that the Russians could also do it, and that was the main reason why they changed their stance in favour of developing it. |
