Nuclear Hotseat

Three Mile Island - 35 Years Later

NUCLEAR HOTSEAT SPECIAL:  Three Mile Island Anniversary 

Thirty-five years after the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, what do we remember of it?  What is it other than a moment we mention but do not understand?  Nuclear Hotseat's Libbe HaLevy was one mile away when the accident happened.  This is her story, along with that of all those who live through the fear and the lingering suspicion that more happened than was ever communicated to the world. Featuring Arnie Gundersen of Fairewinds Energy Education, former NRC Commissioner Peter Bradford, long time Middletown resident Mary Stamos, TMI Alert tech expert Scott Portzline, excerpts from news reports, including the CBS Special with Walter Cronkite, and Libbe HaLevy's personal story of what it was like to be one mile away from a nuclear reactor accident as it was happening.

INTERVIEW: 

Don Hancock of Southwest Research and Information Center again fills us in on the latest developments at the Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP) in Carlsbad New Mexico following the Valentine's Day radiation leak.  What exactly happened, how much leaked, how far has it traveled in which direction, what are the radiation levels -- we run it all by Don and get as many anaswers as are possible.

NEW FEATURE: Food Safety and Nutrition for Immune Support and Detoxification with Kimberly Roberson, founder and director of Fukushima Fallout Awareness Network (FFAN).  She is a certified Diet Counselor and Nutrition Educator and author of Silence Deafening, Fukushima Fallout A Mother's Response.  To listen to her free March 23 teleconference on using zeolite for radiation protection, go to her website, http://newhealthdesign.com/events.
