@wellerstein I read your excellent essay - I am curious how these norms were transferred to Atoms for Peace recipients like Turkey and Iran -
@aaronstein1@wellerstein The U.S. sent teams of engineers to Turkey, Iran and Pakistan. My Dad was one of those young engineers. -
@DMAppelbaum Im reading about those teams now, did he ever tell you about his impressions of the early programs?@wellerstein -
@aaronstein1@wellerstein Yes. A couple of the stories might be useful to you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Karter … -
@DMAppelbaum I assume he worked at American Machine and Foundry when he went to Pak, Turkey and Iran - End of conversation
