The young scientist worked in many parts of the globe and made some really outstanding contributions in the field of plant life, marine biology, oceanology, the behaviour of volcanoes.

His last project had something to do with the underwater effects of the atomic bomb, and he made some valuable discoveries.

And then -- whether it was his work with the horrifying atomic bomb or that fact that his family prestige and wealth required exhausting social obligations -- he got fed up with things.
His being involved in underwater atomic testing in the immediate post-1945 years would certainly make sense.
