YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn his first book, Zak, a Washington Post reporter for nearly a dozen years, focuses on an act of public disobedience—and tells the seven-decade story of the country’s complicated relationship with nuclear forces, from the Manhattan Project to weapon stockpiles to energy plants. On July 28, 2012, three anti-nuclear activists, one of whom was eighty-two-year-old Sister Megan Rice, broke into the Oak Ridge complex, painted slogans on the wall, and waited to be arrested. Their action raised many serious questions, not least about public safety, given that “the Fort Knox of Uranium” had been so easily entered.
Zak is in conversation with Kelsey Davenport.
