Howard Morland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Howard Morland is a United States journalist and activist against nuclear weapons, born in 1942, who in 1979 became famous for apparently discovering the "secret" of the hydrogen bomb (the Teller–Ulam design) and publishing it after a lengthy censorship attempt by the Department of Energy (United States v. The Progressive). In recent years he has been outspoken in the protest against the detention of Mordechai Vanunu.
