The summary states "Teller was known for his scientific ability and his difficult interpersonal relations and volatile personality. "

While there is strong support for his scientific ability in the rest of the article, this description of his personality lacks a citation and does not seem to have any supporting details further on. Without other evidence of "interpersonal" difficulties or a citation, this sentence should be removed. Napes69 (talk) 08:58, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  OK but this is an important article. There should be evidence supporting this statement. Napes69 (talk) 09:05, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Where there's smoke there's fire. EEng 09:14, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
