What this episode covers
Want to spend some time in someone else’s gloves? Tune in to the National Security Science podcast to hear a magazine writer get (literal) hands-on experience as a glovebox worker at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Gloveboxes are sealed, steel compartments with gloves attached to their openings. Technicians insert their hands into the gloves to carry out a wide variety of processes involving radioactive materials, including the making of plutonium pits, the cores of nuclear weapons. In this episode you can also test your Los Alamos National Laboratory knowledge with questions from the television gameshow Jeopardy. It’s all part of National Security Science magazine’s “Knowledge” issue, available in print and online at https://www.lanl.gov/media/publications/national-security-science.
