Mordechai Vanunu was the man who was determined to tell the world about Israel's nuclear capabilities and, by doing so, created a world scandal. Vanunu is the focus of tonight's spy thriller in the series exploring the race for nuclear supremacy. Vanunu worked as a nuclear technician between 1977 and 1985, separating plutonium from uranium at the top-secret Israeli nuclear facility. Disgusted by how Israel
treated him, and with a growing awareness of the dangers of nuclear weapons, Vanunu collected evidence by taking 60 photos of the top-secret plutonium plant.
