Abstract:
This article examines the decision of Gordon Gray, chair of the Personnel Security Board of the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in 1954, to deny security clearance to Robert Oppenheimer. Viewed by some as being part of the 'Red Scare,' the decision was approved based on Oppenheimer's associations, conduct, and opposition to national policy regarding the hydrogen bomb.
