Professor Sir Joseph Rotblat made significant contributions to nuclear physics and worked on the development of the atomic bomb. He walked out of the Manhattan Project after working there for less than a year, the only scientist to do so. Rotblat gave a comprehensive account of his time at Los Alamos. His Archive is now becoming available and papers contained therein are inconsistent with some aspects of his account. The reasons as to how such anomalies and contradictions could occur are considered.
约瑟夫·罗特布拉特爵士教授在核物理学方面做出了重大贡献,并参与了原子弹的开发。他在那里工作不到一年就退出了曼哈顿计划,是唯一这样做的科学家。罗特布拉特全面描述了他在洛斯阿拉莫斯的时光。他的档案现在已经公开,其中的文件与他的叙述有些不一致。考虑了出现这种异常和矛盾的原因。
