INTERVIEW:

What do we anti-nukers have to be thankful for?  Listen to a montage of national activist voices expressing their gratitude for skirmishes won, battles shared, losses commiserated, unexpected camaraderie and the miracle that is our growing movement.  If you need a reminder as to why we do it, listen with your heart, because it's all about love.

PLUS:

• Whales and dolphins safe from PG&E in Diablo Canyon showdown!
• Exelon admits to wanting to shutting down Oyster Creek, then retracts it;
• Switzerland to have a national vote on shutting down all its nuclear reactors!
• U.S. allows 12 times more radiation in our food than Japan does ;

NUMNUTZ ALERT AND RANT:

The newly formed Japan Nuclear Safety Institute (JANSI) has been formed "to strive to achieve the world's highest level of nuclear safety" by "enhancing safety culture, disseminating information about nuclear safety, and conducting peer reviews."  How about CLEANING UP FUKUSHIMA, YOU NIMRODS?!?  YOU'RE THE MOST SEISMICALLY ACTIVE AREA IN THE WORLD AND YOU BUILD NUCLEAR REACTORS ON FAULT LINES, YOU ARE THE ONLY COUNTRY TO HAVE BEEN ATTACKED WITH NOT ONE BUT TWO ATOM BOMBS SO YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES, AND NOW YOU'RE SETTING UP A TRADE ORGANIZATION TO GO ALL "CHAMBER OF COMMERCE" IN SUPPORT OF NUCLEAR SAFETY WITHOUT A SINGLE MENTION OF FUKUSHIMA?  WHERE ARE YOUR BALLS, JAPAN?!?!?  You want nuclear safety?

• SHUT 'EM DOWN,
• CLEAN 'EM UP,
• DON'T BURN THE RADIOACTIVE RUBBLE,
• DON'T DUMP RADIOACTIVE  ASHES IN THE OCEAN,
• HONESTLY TEST AND TREAT YOUR PEOPLE FOR RADIATION-RELATED ILLNESSES,
• COP TO THE SHIT YOU'RE IN!

YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PRETEND YOUR WAY OUT OF IT!  DENIAL DOES NOT WORK!  WHEN IT COMES TO NUCLEAR, JAPAN SHOULD, ONLY JAPAN COULD LEAD THE REST OF THE WORLD... AWAY, FAR, FAR AWAY FROM ALL THINGS NUCLEAR!!!!!

California Coastal Commission

Announces their Decision re: PG&E's Seismic Testing:

Marius Paul and Candyce Paul of Committee for Future Generations in Saskatchewan discuss their ancestral warnings against touching "black stone" (uranium), the impact of 12 uranium mines on the health of their people, the politics of poverty in guaranteeing the nuke interests always win, and the genocidal dangers of building Canada's proposed nuclear waste repository on their ancestral homelands.

Walk across Saskatchewan to protest proposed nuclear dump for nuclear waste from Canada... and the US?

PLUS:

• NRC, SCE duck the public and their responsibility for safety re: San Onofre while preparing to restart one reactor w/o any safety tests ;
• Fukushima clean-up now estimated to cost 10 TRILLION yen ($125.6 billion US$);
• Japan ships radioactive apples from Fukushima to Thailand... and the idiots accept them!
• And Russia (RUSSIA?!?) tests imports for radioactivity and sent 316 shipments back to Japan - but the US doesn't even bother to check.  AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

INTERVIEW:

Remember the senior citizens who volunteered to help clean up Fukushima to spare younger workers from radiation exposure?  Nuclear Hotseat interviews Yastel Yamada, the man who helped start the Skilled Veterans Corps for Fukushima.  Listen closely as he talks about graft, censorship and the politics of the nuclear clean-up.

PLUS:

• Post-Sandy round-up of nuclear near-misses and industry denial;
• How Japan's medical system is guaranteeing there's no evidence of radiation damage and illness from Fukushima;
• Radiation contamination in Tokyo Bay;
• The ugliness of Japan's Prince Takeda, who's no "prince" unless we're talking "nuclear denial";
• A nuclear amusement park (what were they thinking???);
• Radioactive tobacco so hazardous to your health, even Japanese cigarette makers won't touch it!
• ...and lots, lots more!
