Alvin Weinberg: Integrity and Vision

Alvin Weinberg: Integrity and Vision

This is a repost of another early Nuclear Green post.  It actually predates Nuclear Green, and was in fact written shortly after Weinberg's death.  Unlike Ralph Nader who was not a giant of integrity, Weinberg revealed great integrity.  Weinberg was fired as Director of ORNL because he stood up to the Washington AEC establishment over nuclear safety.  Weinberg had the backing of most of the nuclear scientists at National Laboratories, but the fact that he was fired was kept secrete for years.  Weinberg was a brilliant nuclear scientist, and a successful science administrator.
