Since the first revelation of
the atom bomb at Hiroshima in 1945...
:01:40
the United States, England and Russia...
:01:43
have been experimenting with more
and more increasingly deadly weapons.
:01:48
Every day, there is more concentration
on the race for atom supremacy.
:01:55
Sometimes machines and men,
such as Carl Noymann...
:02:00
are driven beyond the line of endurance.
:02:03
And when that happens...
:02:12
In Washington, the accident became
the subject of an intense discussion...
:02:17
by high-ranking officials.
:02:21
Dr. Penner, science is your business.
:02:24
Protecting this country is mine.
:02:26
You say we should call an immediate end
to nuclear experimentation.
:02:30
- But you know that's impossible.
- Then limit it to experiments for peace.
:02:34
We've been over all this before.
:02:37
After what happened,
I thought you might think differently.
:02:40
That's why I flew here.
:02:43
General, since I can't change your mind...
:02:47
I am resigning from the Commission.
:02:49
- I want nothing more to do with the project.
- You're being panicked by one incident.
:02:54
Panicked? The area around Dr. Noymann's
laboratory won't be livable for years.
:02:59
Every test made
since the explosion yesterday...
