About this listen

In this month’s episode of the podcast, Anna talks to David about Queer History and the Lavender Scare. This McCarthy era campaign aimed to remove people with same-sex attraction from positions with security clearance in the government and military. Although this campaign was not active until the 1950s, there is evidence that Manhattan Project veterans would have been affected by these policies. Come along and learn a bit about how this history affects the modern nuclear industry! For questions and comments please feel free to contact us at info@nuclearmuseum.org.
