A 'Nuclear' Vacation Your Family Won't Soon Forget

Much of the nuclear weapons industry is top secret, but there are parts of the atomic establishment that a tourist can see. Sharon Weinberger, one half of a husband-and-wife reporting team that took a trip on a 'nuclear family vacation' by visiting public — and not-so-public — sites associated with atomic weaponry, talks about the history and future of nuclear weaponry and discusses which sites of atomic history can be visited by the average tourist.

Weinberger is a contributing writer on Wired's Danger Room blog and co-author of A Nuclear Family Vacation: Travels in the World of Atomic Weaponry.
