Nuclear Hotseat #61 - Mary Olson of NIRS.org
Interview w/Mary Olson, Director of the SE office of NIRS.org, on what the June 8 DC court ruling means to the battle against nuclear waste production (meaning reactors and their radioactive legacy). PLUS: 82 year old "terrorist" nun breaks into Oak Ridge nuclear facility armed w/a Bible, candles and spray paint - embarrassing the National Nuclear Security Administration for their ridiculous lack of security for 100 tons of highly enriched uranium (Jellyfish*, meet Numnutz**); on a scale of 1-7 for nuclear disasters, Fukushima now ranks at an 8; mutated butterflies in Japan; "suspicion of cracks" in Belgian reactor; Republican VP nominee's wife lobbied for Vermont Yankee; and new NRC Chair Macfarlane wonders how quake-proof all those nuclear reactors really are (heck the latest "quake-proof" rankings at www.NuclearHotseat.com/blog). *Jellyfish - Nuclear heroes - that's the nun ** Nuclear Numnutz - Just what it sounds like.
