Franck Report
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Franck Report of June 1945, named for James Franck, recommended that the US either a) keep its atomic discoveries secret for an indefinite time, or b) develop nuclear armaments at such a pace that no other nation would think of attacking first from fear of overwhelming retaliation.
It also proposed that a demonstration of the "new weapon" be made before the eyes of representatives of all of the United Nations, on a barren island or desert.
