. Yet of course another bomb was dropped, on
Nagasaki, only three days after the bombing of Hiroshima.
In November 1945, three months after the atomic bombings, Oppenheimer stood
firmly behind the scientific attitude, saying, "It is not possible to be a scientist
unless you believe that the knowledge of the world, and the power which this
gives, is a thing which is of intrinsic value to humanity, and that you are using it
to help in the spread of knowledge and are willing to take the consequences."
Oppenheimer went on to work, with others, on the Acheson-Lilienthal report,
which, as Richard Rhodes says in his recent bookVisions of Technology, "found a
way to prevent a clandestine nuclear arms race without resorting to armed world
government"; their suggestion was a form of relinquishment of nuclear weapons
work by nation-states to an international agency.
This proposal led to the Baruch Plan, which was submitted to the United Nations
in June 1946 but never adopted (perhaps because, as Rhodes suggests, Bernard
Baruch had "insisted on burdening the plan with conventional sanctions," thereby
inevitably dooming it, even though it would "almost certainly have been rejected
by Stalinist Russia anyway"). Other efforts to promote sensible steps toward
internationalizing nuclear power to prevent an arms race ran afoul either of US
politics and internal distrust, or distrust by the Soviets
