It’s been long known that Klaus Fuchs, Theodore Hall, and David Greenglass committed espionage at Project Y—the Los Alamos branch of the Manhattan Project—during World War II. Each worked at the secret laboratory charged with creating the world’s first atomic bombs, each stole classified weapons information, and each shared it with the Soviet Union. Just recently though, in September 2019, historians confirmed a fourth wartime spy: Oscar Seborer.
In this episode of the National Security Science podcast, National Security Science writer Weston Phippen talks to Los Alamos National Laboratory senior historian Alan Carr about Seborer’s time at Los Alamos and the spy’s possible contributions to the Soviet nuclear weapons program.
For more on Seborer at Los Alamos, make sure to read this article in the summer 2021 issue of National Security Science magazine.

In this episode of the National Security Science podcast, on the 76th anniversary of the Trinity test, we examine the test from two angles: from 1945, when the test occurred, and from 2021, when a group of Los Alamos employees traveled to the Trinity site to tour ground zero and the surrounding area.

It’s March, Women’s History Month. And for this podcast, we bring you the story of Jane Hall. Jane Hall came to the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in 1945. She had an incredible career as a nuclear physicist and as a manager. In 1955, she became the Lab’s first female assistant director, working closely with Director Norris Bradbury. In 1966, Jane was the first woman appointed to the General Advisory Committee if the Atomic Energy Commission, which offered guidance to top policy makers about scientific and technical matters relating to atomic energy.

In this episode, siblings Joel and Candace Vargas siblings sing about some of the Laboratory's earliest computers. Read more about the Vargas siblings in “Math and music run in this family” in the winter 2020 issue of the National Security Science magazine. Read “Computing on the Mesa” for a comprehensive history of computing at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The bulk of this podcast features mathematician Mary Tsingou (now Mary Tsingou Menzel). In the 1950s, Tsingou programmed the MANIAC computer to solve a problem that Enrico Fermi, John Pasta, and Stan Ulam came up with—their famous vibrating string experiment. She went on to become a coding expert, working on many Los Alamos projects during her accomplished 30-year career. Today, she and her husband still live in Los Alamos, and in May of 2020, she talked with NSS writer Virginia Grant about her work at the Laboratory. Read the full story, “We thank Miss Mary Tsingou” in the winter 2020 issue of the National Security Science magazine.
