Scientists warn against using hydrogen bomb only in self defense
Twelve top American scientists at the American Physical Society meeting urged the United States to pledge not to use the hydrogen bomb unless attacked or allied with, warning Russia could have the device in under four years and that it would be morally catastrophic to employ it. They cautioned despite its power the U.S. could survive a strike and retaliate, but stockpiling would be hard due to handling at extreme cryogenic temperatures.
