Agenda:
  • Can nuclear power actually be harnessed?
  • Is building a bomb a realistic enough possibility to consider it seriously at this point?
  • Considering international politics, should research proceed on the assumption that one will be built, if feasible?
  • What research on nuclear physics is now most important? How much will it cost, and who will fund it?
  • Will the research be kept secret?
