FILE – Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, creator of the atom bomb, is shown in his study at the Institute for Advanced Study, Dec. 15, 1957, in Princeton, N.J. RR Auction in Boston is taking bids on a rare 1945 report, as well as a letter to a journalist signed by “Opie” that describes the bomb as a “weapon for aggressors.” By Saturday, March 9, 2024, bids for the report had topped $35,000 while the letter was closing in on $5,000. The auction ends Wednesday, March 13. MEREDITH, N.H.
The movie “Oppenheimer” is a favorite to win best picture and other accolades at the Academy Awards on Sunday after winning many other awards in the runup. Directed and produced by Christopher Nolan, the film is the most successful biopic in history, after raking in nearly $1 billion at the box office.
RR Auction said the report of about 200 pages was written prior to the testing of the first bomb at the Trinity Site in New Mexico and was released to news media days after the 1945 attacks on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Also up for auction is a one-page typed letter signed by “Opie” to Stephen White of Look magazine in 1952. Oppenheimer is commenting on a draft article that White sent him, which details Russia’s growing stockpile of nuclear weapons.
