The "Almighty" Moral Questions of the Nuclear Age

Four years ago this summer, Megan Rice, Greg Boertje-Obed and Michael Walli broke into the Y-12 nuclear security facility in Oak Ridge. They were there to protest America's nuclear weapons stockpiles. Their stunt shocked the government and thrilled anti-nuclear activists.

Rice, Walli and Boertje-Obed sit at the center of Washington Post reporter Dan Zak's new book, Almighty, which traces the history of nuclear opposition. Zak spoke with WUOT All Things Considered host Brandon Hollingsworth.
