Christopher Nolan’s much-awaited movie ‘Oppenheimer’, a biopic on the eponymous American physicist who created the first atomic bomb, comes at a time when the world is once again zoomed into the nuclear issue.
The Russia-Ukraine war risks turning into a global nuclear conflict; the war threatens accidental hit or sabotage at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which is occupied by Russian forces; and the world is conflicted between the atomic fears and the need for clean and more energy. Some countries are pulling the plug on nuclear reactors while others are rushing in the opposite direction.
