SUMMARY:Oppenheimer: Scientists\, The Bomb\, and the Implications for Today
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe film Oppenheimer\, which opened in theaters in July\, tells the story of American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer who led the team that built the first atomic bomb\, and later worked to curb the nuclear arms race. The scientific community has played a critical role in highlighting the dangers of nuclear weapons and their human and environmental impacts\, as well as nuclear arms racing from the days of the Manhattan Project to the present. Prompted by the film\, the Physicists Coalition for Nuclear Threat Reduction held a webinar on July 31\, 2023\, to discuss: \n\nThe devastating human and environmental consequences of nuclear weapons testing and use\nThe role of scientists in the effort to halt the spread of nuclear weapons and reverse the nuclear arms race\nThe growing nuclear threat and how physicists can help reduce the danger today\n\nSpeakers included \n\nDr. Arjun Makhijani\, President\, Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER)\, co-author of Radioactive Heaven and Earth and Nuclear Wastelands\nDr. Lisbeth Gronlund\, Research Affiliate\, Laboratory for Nuclear Security and Policy\, MIT\nDr. Stewart Prager\, Professor Emeritus of Astrophysical Sciences\, Princeton University; The Physicists Coalition for Nuclear Threat Reduction\nDr. Frederick Lamb (Moderator)\, Research Professor of Physics and Astronomy\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; The Physicists Coalition for Nuclear Threat Reduction\n\nThis webinar was co-sponsored by \n– The APS Forum on Physics and Society\n– The APS Forum on International Physics\n– The APS Forum on the History and Philosophy of Physics \nREFERENCES AND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:  \nRecommended by Dr. Arjun Makhijiani: \n\nArjun Makhijiani\, Webinar Presentation Slides (PowerPoint)\nArjun Makhijani\, ““Always” the target?: While U.S. bomb scientists were racing against Germany\, military planners were looking toward the Pacific\,” Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists\, May/June 1995\nArjun Makhijani. “Nuclear Targeting: The First 60 Years\,” Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists\, May/June 2003\n\nRecommended by Dr. Lisbeth Gronlund: \n\n“Countermeasures: A Technical Evaluation of the Operational Effectiveness of the Planned US National Missile Defense System\,” Union of Concerned Scientists\, April 18 2000\nRichard L.
