INTERVIEWS:

Kevin Kamps, Nuclear Waste Watchdog for Beyond Nuclear, goes into the longstanding issues against Palisades Nuclear Generating Station, a “lemon” of a nuke reactor on the shores of Lake Michigan only 70 miles from Chicago. Highlighted is a coalition of environmental groups that has intervened against Palisades’ operator Entergy Nuclear’s attempt to get the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to roll back safety requirements. At stake – the safety of the drinking water of 40-million people.

List of 65 Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) like Palisades still operating in the United States:http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/list-power-reactor-units.html
How close do you live to one of these PWRs? Check it out here: http://money.cnn.com/news/specials/nuclear_power_plants_locations/

Leslie Sullivan Sachs of Vermont’s Safe and Green Campaign fills us in on the history and dangers of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant — the exact same GE Mark I reactor design as the destroyed nukes of Fukushima Daiichi. We also get to share the excitement the long-desired and recently announced shutdown of Vermont Yankee by the end of 2014! 22 days and counting! Yes!!!

Leslie Sullivan Sachs – two years premature, but a great visioning that is about to come true!

Samantha Bee nukes it outta the park on The Daily Show!

Feds say cleaning up Hanford site will cost too much – and besides, it will “cast into doubt other nuclear projects” they fund.
Strontium 90 spike at Fukushima up to 990,000 Bq/liter –99,000 times higher than “permissable limits.”
