Eduardo de Los Alamos


Ed Grothus worked at LANL from 1949 to 1969 when he quit in protest against the development of Nuclear Weapons, an activity which he had been intimately engaged in for 20 years.

Today, Ed is an eccentric activist who runs a cross between a junkyard, a surplus shop and a museum.


The Doctor has a lot of respect for Ed, even though he cuts an odd figure and can be very difficult to have a conversation with at times. He has been on a prophetic rant for decades now... some of us might have listened more carefully to his dire warnings...



Ed has received a lot of attention over the years, not all of it positive... There is a rumour that he is on his last legs, we wish him well...

more to come ..... send in your Ed Grothus stories...

We Love you Ed, Strange as We all are,
- Doc

So, look at "Crazy Ed" (NOT to be confused with "Crazy Eddie" Teller!) in these pictures just above and the picture just below of the buttoned-down Vice Admiral, and tell me who you'd rather spend a few minutes with, just shootin' the shit and hangin'. OK, OK, that was WAY too easy, I know.

I love visiting the Black hole every time I come to Los Alamos. Ed is a bit on the strange side but what he has done is amazing... I can see why a lot of people dislike or distrust him but he seems completely genuine to me.
