INTERVIEWS:

• Alicyn Gitlin, who coordinates the Campaign to Restore and Protect the Greater Grand Canyon Ecoregion  for the Sierra Club Grand Canyon Chapter.  She is joined by:
• Sandy Bahr, who is Chapter Director for the Grand Canyon chapter of the Sierra Club.
• Anne Mariah Tapp, Energy Program Director of the Grand Canyon Trust.

NUMNUTZ OF THE WEEK:

• More Food News from Fukushima!  (Might that be a new feature?)  This week: "Award-winning" tap water from Fukushima.  CAUTION: this story could hurt you from busting a gut laughing.

PLUS:

• Derelict boat from Fukushima found off Oregon coast... but it's not the first or even the largest piece of debris found in US waters since the disaster began.
• US NRC okays High Burn-Up Fuel for Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Ohio.  SEE:  Donna Gilmore's assessment of HBF's dangers at: www.SanOnofreSafety.org
• Last week's Numnutz gets even numnutzier as Milan Expo 2015 subject to corruption, scandal, police investigation, arrests and jailings - and that's not even based upon whatever "business" they did w/Japan!
• TEPCO robot in Fukushima Unit 1 burns out after moving only 10 meters.  No word on what data, if any, it was able to collect.
• Education just became more dangerous as Japan opens new high school in evacuation zone.
• ...and much much more!

• Keith Baverstock's explanation of how the IAEA and WHO rigged the numbers at Chernobyl... which of course means they're  using the exact same strategy for Fukushima.

INTERVIEW: 

Dr. Ian Fairlie, author of a 2014 study that correlated more than 60 studies about health risks to small children living within 5 kilometers – 3 miles – of nuclear reactors. Important information that needs to be deployed in any battle against nuclear reactors.  An encore presentation from Nuclear Hotseat #162.

Dr. Ian Fairlie

NUMNUTZ OF THE WEEK:

Japan keeps trying to convince the world that Fukushima food is really safe to eat (even as Taiwan finds  food imports from Japan mislabeled to hide the Fukushima sourcing!).  Now, they've announced plans to keep the con going at Milan Expo 2015, where they'll hold Japan Day to continue promoting Fukushima food as mmm mmm good!  All part of the ongoing, planned propaganda campaign so that by 2020,  Tokyo Olympics tourists will have no qualms about chowing down and exposing themselves to internal radiation. Mmm mmm bad!  Epidemiological study of Radioactive Olympics survivors to follow...?

PLUS:

• More TEPCO admissions that they haven't a clue about how to clean up the hot mess at Fukushima...
• But that doesn't stop Prime Minister Abe-baby's Labor Democratic Party from pushing to restart Japan's 43 remaining nuclear reactors;
• Evacuees now allowed to stay overnight in Naraha Town in Fukushima Prefecture despite high radiation levels, but former residents of Minami-Soma are suing the government for lifting evacuation advisories in their town, citing high radiation levels;
• Woods Hole announces Fukushima radiation in ocean off British Columbia, but seems to forget there's been radiation and hot particles in North America since eight days after Fukushima began (see: Fairewinds Energy Education video on hot particles);
• NRC calls Alert (second of four levels of warning) at Limerick Nuclear Generating Station near Philadelphia after fire impacts emergency cooling system;
• UK changes law so nuke waste sites can be forced on local communities;
• "Anomalies" leading to "lower than expected mechanical toughness values" -- meaning flaws in the fricking nuclear reactor vessel head -- found in French reactor in Flamanville, 231 miles from Paris and across the English Channel from Weymouth.

LINK:

• Three years ago, Fairewinds was one of the first organizations to talk about “hot particles” that are scattered all over Japan and North America’s west coast.  In this video, Fairewinds' Arnie Gundersen introduces Marco Kaltofen, who discusses the hottest hot particle he has ever found -- more than 300 miles from the Fukushima Daiichi site. Arnie Gundersen provides a brief introduction and summary to the video.

INTERVIEW: Dr. Ian Fairlie on his study on the impact of nuclear radiation on children living within 5 km/3 miles of a nuclear reactor. An encore interview from Nuclear Hotseat #162. NUMNUTZ OF THE WEEK: Milan Expo 2015 will be another site of Japan's attempt to convince the world that Fukushima food is really safe to eat so that by 2020, Tokyo Olympics tourists will have no qualms about chowing down and exposing themselves to internal radiation.
