US government responded to Robert Oppenheimer’s opposition to developing the hydrogen bomb by accusing him of disloyalty.

He was a professor of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley and is often credited as the 'Father of the Atomic Bomb'. He was a major force behind the Manhattan project.

However, after the War ended he was instructed to create a more powerful Hydrogen Bomb. This, he publicly rejected to do after which he was stripped of his political influence.

He was later granted an award by President Kennedy as a gesture towards 'political rehabilitation'
