Sandia Labs Nuclear History videos on YouTube
I've recently stumbled into a number of very long (many hours in two
or three parts each) documentaries on the history of U.S. nuclear
weapons development, command, control, security, and policy on the
Sandia National Labs YouTube channel.
Sandia is one of the big three U.S. nuclear labs, the other two are
Los Alamos and Livermore.
The documentaries I've seen so far were produced by Sandia around 2005
and 2010, with a vast number of interviews with the original persons
involved in terms of engineering, military, and government.
They are remarkably frank at discussing the many drastic errors made
along the way and the many problems that have occurred. You come away
with the feeling that it's a miracle that there wasn't a nuclear war
or unintended nuclear detonations (and they do cover the bad accidents
that did occur).
Worth your time if you're interested in this area -- I learned a lot
that I either didn't know or hadn't been able to put together into a
coherent understanding until now.
