My job was to produce plutonium that was used for atomic bomb.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't want to spend my life contributing to the development of more atomic weaponry.
And I also take photos of hydrogen bomb, from another part of the building. It was not part of my job, but I succeeded to go and take photos of the hydrogen bomb.
I also was producing, working on other materials for the hydrogen bomb. They call it lithium-6 and tritium. I was working on these and the only use for lithium-6 is the hydrogen bomb.
I did several interesting jobs, working in restaurants, I worked at a lab rat farm, feeding and watering all these rats. Then I got a full-time job as a technical writer for a large scientific research laboratory.
If I could do anything, I'd be an engineer of some sort. I used to build robots.
My dad was a Navy munitions officer, and by the end of his career, he was a specialist in nuclear weapons.
I started doing experiments - mostly in organic chemistry, because it was so much more interesting - in my mother's laundry at home.
My job is to get things done.
I'd grown up in a production company, but discovering the importance of the work, I realized I had something to bring here.
I liked to work in a shop down in the basement and invent things and build gadgets.
