  • Nuclear Hotseat #284: CHERNOBYL EXCLUSIVE!
    Lucas Hixon is a nuclear researcher who has been on-the-ground at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, part of a US-led coalition of experts and professionals who work hand in hand with the workers. We spoke initially while he was in Ukraine, but waited until he was back in the US to talk about issues stemming from the placement of the New “Safe” Confinement structure; questions about the long term soundness of the new structure that require close monitoring in the coming years, and implications for the Fukushima clean-up from what has been learned at Chernobyl.
    NUMNUTZ OF THE WEEK: Ahhh, Gina “Never-Met-A-Nuke-I-Didn’t-Like-and-Cover-For” McCarthy, head of the Environmental Protection Agency – did you really thing we’d swallow those “Protective” Action Guides (PAGs) that allow for 1,000, 10,000, up to 100,000 times the Safe Drinking Water Act without you becoming Numnutz, yet again???

  • Nuclear Hotseat #283: Homeowner Nightmare - Radwaste In Kitchen Dust
    Robbin Ellison Dailey and her husband Mike own the home in North St. Louis less than half a mile from the radioactive nuclear waste burial site at Republic Service’s West Lake Landfill. They recently had the house tested for radiation… and discovered Thorium 230-contaminated dust at 1000x above background radiation levels. We spoke with Robbin on Monday, November 21 about the situation with her home and what it’s like to be hit with that kind of news.

    TEPCO is ending operations at the J-Village Complex in Fukushima Prefecture in March and is handing the facility back to resume its previous purpose... as training camp for the Japanese national soccer team.  Besides putting their world-class athletes in harm's way (12-1/2 miles/20 kilometers from the triple meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi and only 4-1/3 miles/7 kilometers from the Exclusion Zone), they will stop doing whole body monitoring of Fukushima workers for internal radiation exposure.  Way to go, TEPCO - two for one!
