The destructiveness of the atomic bomb will lead to refrain from its usage and become a guarantor of peace. That was the thesis of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer - but what has become of it? In this audio report from SRF 4 News, CSS' head of think tank Oliver Thränert provides his expertise. In the interview, he answers questions about the current situation with regard to the potential use of nuclear weapons by nuclear powers and its potential use in the Ukraine war. He also explains what has contributed to the fact that no nuclear bomb has been detonated since 1945 and gives assessments on future nuclear arms agreements.
