Program Description
Event Details
Peter Bond will present the riveting story told in his co-authored book “The Leak” that captured headlines 25 year ago . The discovery of a leak at Brookhaven National Laboratory ignited a political and media firestorm that resulted in the firing of the lab’s contractor, the termination of scientific instruments, and threats to close the lab itself. The story is full of vivid characters, dramatic twists and turns, and sensational headlines in ways that bring to mind many of today’s events.
*Peter Bond is a retired physicist who worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory for 43 years in a wide variety of roles, including interim laboratory director during much of the period covered by this book.
