Enrico Fermi, Scientist [motion picture] : re: atomic research, 1952 December 2.
Jim Hurlbert conducted this interview on the 10th Anniversary of the first nuclear fission blast at the University of Chicago. Synopsis: Buildings at the University of Chicago are shown near its abandoned football stadium where on Dec. 2, 1942, Fermi and his research team lighted the first atomic fire. An NBC interviewer questions Dr. Fermi who led the 1942 project. When asked if he would attempt the project again in light of all the destruction nuclear project is capable of, as in the form of an atomic bomb, Dr. Fermi replies, "Yes, because scientific progress and America's desire to win and end the war demanded such research."
Atomic bomb -- Research.
