Don Hancock of Southwest Resource and Information Center corrects some misinformation and brings us up to date on the real info regarding the problems at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico, while Karen Hadden of SEED Coalition in Texas enumerates the problems with the waste that couldn't go to WIPP that ended up at Waste Control Specialists (WCS) in Andrews, Texas. NUMNUTZ OF THE WEEK: Radioactive soup as conceptual art? Mmm, mmm good (or not)! PLUS: fuel rods losing uranium pellets at North Anna, hot spots found on ocean floor within 25 kilometers/15 miles of Fukushima, Exelon asks Illinois for a mere $580 million to keep its nuclear reactors running and Pakistan wants a larger place at the nuclear table - what could go wrong?
