Summary

Description
English: The "Burleson," arriving home from Bikini, symbolizes a cogent truth: The problems with which the atomic bomb confronts us do not, after an Operation Crossroads, remain behind, imprisoned within the coral bounds of a remote Pacific atoll. At Bikini ships were sent to the bottom; the

problems were not. As examples of man's scientific skill and cooperativeness the atomic bomb,

and Operation Crossroads, are unrivalled. To those who direct man's humanitarian destiny the challenge is clear.
