Summary

Nuclear war might seem abstract, lingering in the back of the mind only as a distant possibility. But some remember when it seemed like a certainty. We dug through the StoryCorps archive to find people who worked with nuclear weapons — and know how close we’ve come to a point of no return. We’ve been nominated for a Webby award!
