Entergy announces closure of Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant at the end of 2014 - so what does it mean? Get perspective from two Vermonters: Arnie Gundersen of Fairewinds Energy Education, a former nuclear industry insider who explains nuclear problems and dilemmas a la Mr. Wizard; and Hattie Nestle, veteran protester who lives within 20 miles of Vermont Yankee and who's been arrested 35 times protesting the facility. PLUS: Japan finally accepts foreign assistance, PM Shinzo Abe says his government will stop the outflow of tainted water... but neglects to say how they'll do it; six more Fukushima prefecture children diagnosed w/thyroid cancer; NRC to rule to Ft. Calhoun re-opening; calls from nations in both hemispheres for testing of ocean fish for radiation contamination; and Russia offers technical assistance to Japan in dealing w/Fukushima. Good luck!
