Oppenheimer Legacy: South Carolina the Center of the New Nuclear Arms Race – August 16, 2023, 7-8:30 p.m. ET
Please join in this discussion about the dilemma that Oppenheimer and his colleagues left us – a new nuclear arms race, in part centered on production of new plutonium “pits” for new nuclear weapons, at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina and Los Alamos National Lab in New Mexico.
- Discussion on Zoom with experienced panel followed by audience Talk-Back (Q & A) about facts, myths, and ethics faced by Oppenheimer and us today concerning nuclear weapons
- Three Guest Panelists: Tom Clements, Director of Savannah River Site Watch in South Carolina; Jay Coghlan, Executive Director, Nuclear Watch New Mexico, who just visited Hiroshima & Nagasaki; and David Matos, President, Carolina Peace Resource Center
- A major focus will be the Department of Energy’s (DOE) proposed facility for plutonium pit production at the DOE’s Savannah River Site near Aiken, SC, to make the plutonium cores for new nuclear weapons
