Rangarira ndima iri pasi apa uye ipapo pindura mubvunzo gare gare mumutauro mumwe chetewo sechikamu:  Pashure pokunge Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) yavapo muna 1947 sesangano rehurumende rinodzora kutsvakurudza kwenyukireya nenyaya dzezvombo, Oppenheimer akagadzwa kuva Sachigaro weGeneral Advisory Committee (GAC). Kubva pachinzvimbo ichi akapa mazano panyaya dzinoverengeka dzine chekuita nenyukireya, kusanganisira mari yeprojekti, kuvakwa kwemarabhoritari uye kunyange mutemo wepasi rose, kunyange hazvo zano reGAC rakanga risingateererwe nguva dzose. SaChairman weGAC, Oppenheimer akashanda nesimba kuti nyika dzese dzirambe dzichidzora zvombo uye dzipe mari yesayenzi yepakutanga, uye akaedza kuita kuti hurongwa hwenyika husapindira munhangemutange yezvombo. Apo hurumende yakabvunza kana yaifanira kutevera purogiramu yokukurumidzira yokugadzira chombo cheatomu chakavakirwa pa fusion yenyukireya - bhomba rehydrogen - Oppenheimer pakutanga akakurudzira kusaita kudaro, kunyange zvazvo akanga ave achitsigira kugadzira chombo chakadaro mukati meManhattan Project. Akanga achikurudzirwa nechinetso chetsika, achinzwa kuti chombo chakadaro chaigona kungoshandiswa nenzira yakarongwa bedzi mukurwisana nenharidzano dzavanhuwo zvavo, kuchiguma norufu rwemamiriyoni. Zvisinei, akanga achikurudzirwawo nezvinetso zvinoshanda, sezvo panguva iyoyo pakanga pasina gadziriro inoshanda yebhomba rehydrogen. Oppenheimer akanzwa kuti zvinhu zvaizoshandiswa zviri nani mukugadzira simba guru rezvombo zvinoparadza. Iye navamwe vakanga vachinyanya kunetseka pamusoro pezvigadziri zvenyukireya zvakanga zvichitsauswa kubva muplutonium kuenda mukugadzirwa kwetritium. Iwo akachinjwa naTruman, uyo akazivisa gadziriro yokukurumidzira pashure pokunge Soviet Union yaedza bhomba rayo rokutanga reatomu muna 1949. Oppenheimer nevamwe vaipikisa chirongwa cheGAC, zvikurukuru James Conant, vakanzwa vachidziviswa uye vakafunga kusiya basa mukomiti yacho. Vakaramba varipo, kunyange zvazvo maonero avo pamusoro pebhomba rehydrogen aizivikanwa zvikuru. Zvisinei, muna 1951, Edward Teller nenyanzvi yemasvomhu Stanislaw Ulam vakagadzira chakazozivikanwa seTeller-Ulam design yebhomba rehydrogen. Kugadzirwa kutsva uku kwakaratidzika kuva kunobvira uye Oppenheimer akachinja pfungwa dzake pamusoro pokugadzira chombo chacho. Sezvaakayeuka gare gare:  Mubvunzo: Oppenheimer aida kuitei?
