Niels Bohr and the nucleus [sound recording] / address at the Rockefeller Institute, 1964 November 18.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81639596

Mainly a chronological narrative of Bohr's work during the war years and uses of nuclear energy. Bohr and Rutherford in Manchester; history of the development of atomic power and Bohr's role in it; Bohr's increasing involvement in a campaign for open discussion of scientific progress. Interesting for Oppenheimer's views on Bohr's work, and his views on the society of scientists..
