Morland's article was published in the November 1979 issue of "The Progressive". A month later he published an erratum in "The Progressive" with updates based on information that he had gathered during the trial from UCRL-4725, Chuck Hansen's letter and other sources. In Morland's opinion, the article contributed to a wave of anti-nuclear activism in the late 1970s and early 1980s that resulted in, amongst other things, the closure of the Rocky Flats Plant near Denver. Chuck Hansen went on to publish a book, "U.S. Nuclear Weapons: The Secret History", in 1988. This was subsequently expanded to a self-published five volume work entitled "Swords of Armageddon". However, many mainstream media organizations still remained reluctant to test the law by publishing. On September 30, 1980, the Justice Department issued a statement that it would not prosecute alleged violations of the Atomic Energy Act during the "Daily Californian" or "The Progressive" cases.
