In January of 2000, the Greek born chemist Andreas Toupadakis resigned from a nuclear weapons program at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. He found that, instead of working on the safe disposal of nuclear weapons, he was asked to work on what he calls Manhattan #2, a new, space based weapons system. He has since become an eloquent campaigner against nuclear weapons. In August of 2000 he was invited to speak at a memorial service for the Japanese victims of the bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima. He returned deeply moved by his meetings with survivors. This is a very personal conversation based on his diary and the photos he brought back.
