The Memorandum: Qualitative Part
摘要
This brief chapter describes the qualitative part of the Frisch-Peierls memorandum. While occupying only three pages, this document touched on every aspect of nuclear weapons: Their likely destructive and radiological effects, how they could be constructed and triggered, the need to industrialize isotope enrichment, the military and ethical issues that would accompany such weapons, and what might be happening in Germany.
