Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) American physicist who from 1943 to 1945 directed the laboratory that created the atomic bombs used in World War II (1939-1945). Following the war, Oppenheimer served as chairman of the board of scientific advisors of the AEC (Atomic Energy Commission, the US Government agency responsible for directing the development and use of atomic energy). In 1949 he and his board rejected proposals to build the hydrogen bomb-a weapon far more destructive than the atomic bomb. A few years later, Oppenheimer was suspended as a security risk on grounds of association with Communists and because of his opposition to the hydrogen bomb. After a highly-publicized security hearing, he was denied access to classified information and his contract as advisor to the AEC was cancelled.Robert J.
