Nuclear Hotseat

FEATURED: Report on Fukushima resident and activist Chieko Shiina's heartrending presentation on current life in Japan and Fukushima, along with information on how to help her start a Children's Clinic to address pressing health problems.

PLUS:

• Fukushima determined by Japanese committee to be "a man-made disaster" (incompetence can do that!);
• TEPCO top execs resign... only to get their golden parachutes ;
• San Onofre whistleblowers not covered by state protective laws (blame it on the Marines!);
• More evil doings by Dr. Shunich Yamashita, Japan's equivalent of Dr. Mengele;
• Health problems growing in Fukushima (TB, rubella outbreaks) but the governnment isn't listening;
• International nukes take a business hit across the board;
• Japanese TB outbreak believed linked to radiation;
• Czech Republic to give sanctuary and healing protocols for 30 "radiation refugees" -- Fukushima children ages 12-14;
• and 150,000 protest restart of Oi reactors, but it's the direct attack by swarms of jellyfish that slowed it down.  Let's hear it for Ma Nature's spineless warriors!

Get the inside scoop on this September's Coalition Against Nukes rally and actions in Washington, D.C. from Dr. Heidi Hutner and Michael Leonardi, long time anti-nuclear activists serving as coordinators for the event.

Plus:

• Japanese scientists share earthquake data and dire predictions as KEPCO restarts the Oi reactors;
• Fukushima Unit 4 a mere gasket failure away from catastrophe, while Unit 1 radiation is so high its dismantling (a 40 year process at best) will require robot technology that has not  yet been invented;
• Federal appellate court sinks Vermont's recent strategy to deny Entergy's Vermont Yankee re-license;
• Colorado's Rocky Flats $926 million judgment struck down;
• South Korea bans 35 Japanese seafood products, bringing their total to 64 (the US bans NONE);
• Contact info from last week's interviewee, environment attorney Susan Hito Shapiro, for anti-nuke lawyers who want to support and strategize with each other: [email protected];
• Evacuation advice from Fukushima survivor to Oi citizens -- also works for the 1/3 of all Americans who live within 50 miles of a nuclear reactor.

MUST LISTEN!  Slammer interview w/environmental attorney Susan Hito Shapiro on the battle to shut down Indian Point near NYC, plus some legal strategies applicable for anti-nuke activists throughout the country.

Plus:

• 45,000 Japanese protest at PM Noda's front door against Oi nuclear restart, which has already been plagued by 27 WARNING ALARMS GOING OFF!;
• TILT!  Bulge in Fukushima Unit 4 now 40% larger than in May;
• The swallows did NOT come back to Fukushima, in a big way (Silent Spring, Summer, Fall...);
• LA Times editorial to keep San Onofre shut down marks the most important major media anti-nuclear stance in decades;
• And both TEPCO and Japanese government tell skeptical consumers that fish caught near Fukushima is safe to eat... even though they won't let independent experts test within 12 miles of the still-leaking nuclear facility.  Sushi, anyone?  (Hell, no!)

SAKAIDO HANSAI! (No Restart!)
