I watched the documentary Atomic Cafe a few weeks ago, and one of the sequences shown seems to indicate that a nuclear attack against the DPRK was authorized by Congress and apparently set to occur in a few days if the DPRK did not go to the bargaining table. Obviously McArthur was very much in favor of using nuclear weapons in Korea, but I have not found any information to suggest that such an attack was authorized. Was there ever a nuclear attack authorized to occur during the Korean War against the PRC or DPRK (ready to occur, not just a warplan), and if so what was planned and how was it ultimately prevented?
