Episode 1: The threat of nuclear war is higher than ever. Why has it vanished from political campaigns?

mardi 24 septembre 2024 • Durée 37:32

WGLT's Twelve Thousand Bombs podcast examines the history, science and policy behind the United States nuclear program—and why the threat of a nuclear conflict is as high as it’s ever been. The first episode explores the current presidential candidates’ platforms—or lack thereof—on nuclear weapons, plus a primer on questions like: What is the football? Why is the president the only one who can authorize a nuclear strike? What are the checks and balances around a president’s use of nuclear weapons should he/she become compromised in some way? (Spoiler: Not many.)

Episode 3 - The human cost of Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project should be a cautionary tale. The U.S. is ramping up nuclear testing anyway.

jeudi 3 octobre 2024 • Durée 38:36

J. Robert Oppenheimer chose a remote spot in south central New Mexico to build and test the world's first atomic bomb. The people who lived in the surrounding Tularosa Basin were not asked for permission or warned of the risk posed to their health and safety. Nearly 80 years later, proposed legislation giving one-time payments to New Mexicans who contracted cancer as a consequence of nuclear testing has been allowed to expire, blocked by House Speaker Mike Johnson. The congressional stalemate comes as testing programs ramp up and the world braces for the possibility of nuclear war. Tina Cordova of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Association joins Lauren Warnecke and Matt Caplan.

Episode 4 - Star Wars: Iran and the fantasy of ballistic missile defense

jeudi 10 octobre 2024 • Durée 44:06

The United States has spent $400 billion on developing and testing weapons designed to neutralize an attack. All signs point to a fool's errand, particularly in the event of a nuclear strike. Matt Caplan joins this episode with Fred Lamb, professor of physics, astronomy and arms control at the University of Illinois to discuss the "fantasy" of ballistic missiles defense and the misrepresentation that the United States' and Israel's defense of Iran's Oct. 1 attack was a success.

Episode 6 - With nuclear fusion, the future of clean energy is bright. It's also made world annihilation more possible

jeudi 24 octobre 2024 • Durée 36:43

Since the 1970s, physicists have worked on developing nuclear fusion as a clean, carbon-free, inexhaustible fuel source. Essentially building a big star on Earth, the United States and other nuclear powers have also used the technology to make nuclear weapons exponentially more powerful. Princeton physicist Stewart Prager joins the podcast to talk about the intersection between nuclear fusion, energy production and arms control.
