nuclear bomb

July 16 marks the anniversary of the 1945 Trinity Test in New Mexico, the world's first atomic blast. On Sunday, faith leaders and advocates will gather to remember and call for disarmament. KUNM spoke with Tina Cordova, co-founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium and Santa Fe Archbishop Rev. John Wester about the event.

On Wednesday night at 10 p.m. New Mexico PBS will air the documentary “In Search of Resolution.” It’s the third in a series by filmmaker Robert Frye on the threat posed by nuclear weapons. This latest work explores global efforts around nuclear disarmament. He spoke with KUNM about how the Russian invasion of Ukraine has reawakened fears of nuclear war --- something many may have thought was no longer a risk.
