The symposium at the National Museum of National History is supported by NSF and the Department of Energy in conjunction with Michael Frayn's play "Copenhagen" at the Kennedy Center. The play explores the 1941 meeting in Denmark between Bohr and Heisenberg (leader of the Nazi nuclear program) and that meeting's influence on the nuclear age.
