Synopsis

Documentary that travels to the U.S. and Russian homes of rival Cold War nuclear weapons programs -- Los Alamos in New Mexico, and Arzamas-16 in Russia, east of Moscow. Through interviews with both labs' top scientists past and present, the program tells the story of their joint efforts to combat the dangers of aging nuclear arsenals. The U.S. and Russian scientists are collaborating on "stockpile stewardship" -- the effort to maintain the effectiveness and reliability of existing nuclear weapons and to understand the safety conditions of these aging devices, without the benefit of testing.
