Nuclear Hotseat episodes

  • RUSSIA CONFESSES: Europe's Radioactive Cloud Came f/Disaster-Prone Mayak
    Award-winning journalist Karl Grossman shares insights on the Indian Point Closure agreement, the hidden manipulation tactics of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operators, and gives us examples of how activists have successfully scuttled nuclear industry plans.
    An Encore presentation from Nuclear Hotseat, #295, February 14, 2017.
    After two months of lies, Russia finally admits that cloud of Ruthenium 106 at radiation nearly 1000x background originated from its Mayak nuclear waste reprocessing center. With a half-life of just over one year, and ten half-life cycles necessary to become non-radioactive, we're looking at 10 years of radiation contamination... so far.

  • NH #335: "Chernobyl Disaster in a Can" - 73 Vulnerable-To-Cracking Radioactive Waste Canisters Set for CA Ocean-Front Burial at San Onofre: Donna Gilmore

    San Onofre Nuclear Reactors



    This Week's Featured Interview:
    • Donna Gilmore of SanOnofreSafety.org reports on Southern California Edison's plans to bury 1,800 tons - that's 3,600,000 pounds of high-level radioactive waste a mere 36 yards from high tide in canisters that are vulnerable to cracking in 2 years and leaking within 20 years.  Each one contains a Chernobyl disaster's worth of radiation on the Pacific Ocean less than 70 miles from Los Angeles!

    What to do:

    • Download petition and info sheets HERE - it's the top story on the page.
    • Get signatures on the petition and send to San Onofre Safety (hard copy signatures on paper are necessary).
    • Use the info sheet to engage in conversation on the issues.
    • CA RESIDENTS:  Call your state representative; locate her or him HERE: www.findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov
    • CALL the California Coastal Commission: (562) 590-5071
    • To read the Federal Register containing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's admission of no requirements for aging of radioactive waste-containing canisters, CLICK HERE.
    Numnutz of the Week (for Outstanding Nuclear Boneheadedness): 

    "Shelter in place" after a nuclear accident... and stay there?  New study provides a great way to keep the bodies out of the streets and the clean-up to a minimum!  Beware of "*NEW IMPROVED*" methods of measuring radioactive risk... and always check out who's behind the funding for this kind of bogus pro-nuclear "research."
