Nuclear Hotseat #60 - Kevin Kamps of Beyond Nuclear
Kevin Kamps of Beyond Nuclear on radioactive waste storage problems, options, how we got in this mess and what if anything can be done about it. BREAKING NEWS - NRC freezes all nuclear reactor construction and operating licenses! PLUS: San Diego's COPS (Citizens Oversight Projects) challenges San Onofre's failure to review steam generator failure (Go, Ray Lutz!); California Democratic party calls for independent design review before restart can be considered; Prime Minister "The Pendulum" Noda agrees to meet with protestors, then cancels, says Japan's nuke future will be decided by end of month, then says maybe not; TEPCO games radiation monitors in Fukushima, while radiation showing up 300x normal in mushrooms 80 miles from the damaged reactors; and Mochizuki Iori from Fukushima Diary does the math: the radiation released from Fukushima equals 168 Hiroshima-type a-bombs... and they did it to themselves.
