Prof. Mark Walker interviews for NOVA program on Hitler's bomb

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.
