The significance of bikini

The outward physical manifestations of heat, power, and radioactivity unleashed do not represent the true significance of the atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll. Since the short period after Hiroshima and Nagasaki when an earnest and humble effort was made to find the right answer to the control of nuclear fission a generally complacent attitude has developed. That the peoples and rulers of the world need to be educated to the revolutionary conditions related to the atomic bomb there can be no doubt and avoiding the facts that are before us will not solve the problem.
