S3E14 Oppenheimer: The Movie - 7/17/23 - Dr. Thom Mason, Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Manage episode 371481640 series 3004695
A controversial figure to this day, J. Robert Oppenheimer led the development and construction of the world's first atomic bomb. After World War II, his past communist leanings came to a head when his government security clearance was revoked after several contentious hearings at the height of the "Red Scare". In this week’s episode of the Gone Fission Nuclear Report, we look ahead to Friday’s premiere of “Oppenheimer” in theaters. Our guest is Dr. Thom Mason, Oppenheimer’s modern-day successor as Director of Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Dr. Mason joined former lab directors in successfully advocating last year that the 1954 revocation of Dr. Oppenheimer’s security clearance be nullified.
