Mark
Walker, professor of history, was interviewed on Friday for an upcoming
NOVA documentary on PBS television about
the Nazi nuclear weapons development program before and during World War II. Producer-director David Sington
was on campus with a crew to film Walker
in several locations – his office, the Nott Memorial, and walking through the
snow in Library Field. Sington had earlier filmed in Norway
at the site of a nuclear reactor, where the Germans had begun a program to
refine weapons grade uranium. The one-hour show is to air sometime this fall.
