Read the following passage and answer the questions No. 46 to No. 50.

Research on the uses of atomic energy had been going on at a gradually accelerating pace since January, 1939, when Lise Meitner explained that the uranium atom could be split. The discovery opened up two divergent paths for its exploitation. Most physical scientists realized that nuclear energy, derived from the splitting, or fissioning, or the atom, might be used either to generate power for peaceful purposes or to create super-weapons.

In general, however, it was the scientists who were personally acquainted with Hitler’s New Order who first became most interested in the possible military uses of atomic energy and its effect on the existing balance of political power. Most American-born physicists were not originally so concerned with this aspect, because they had not yet become accustomed to thinking of new scientific truths in terms of their military applications.

And from the beginning, of course, some of the physicists, both European and American, who considered the potential of atomic weapons were horrified at the thought of the devastation they might spread throughout the world.
