Nuclear Reaction

December 17, 2004

In 1986, Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu went public with evidence that Israel had a comprehensive nuclear weapons program. Israel has never admitted as much, and the divulging of secret information landed Vanunu in prison for 18 years. He was released earlier this year on the condition that he not talk to foreign journalists. But almost immediately, he did just that, and with such regularity that he was re-arrested this fall. Bob talks with Vanunu biographer Yoel Cohen.
