TOKYO: Charles Oppenheimer, a grandson of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is known as the “father of the atomic bomb,” called for the peaceful use of nuclear energy as he continued his visit to Japan, the only country ever subjected to the weapon of mass destruction.
“I believe we can learn from our ancestors, including my grandfather... Listening to the advice they had, particularly Robert Oppenheimer’s view of what to do with nuclear weapons, is more important today than ever,” Oppenheimer said at a press conference at Japan National Press Club in Tokyo, on Monday (June 3).
