NH #45 - Arnie Gundersen on San Onofre - EXCLUSIVE!

An exclusive Nuclear Hotseat interview with Arnie Gundersen of Fairewinds.com on San Onofre, how and when the problems happened with the steam generators, and the dangers of even thinking about a restart this summer (as SCE has announced they are planning to do).  PLUS:

• Battle heats up over NRC’s anti-safety Svnicki going for second term as Commissioner;
• EPA’s Radnet “potentially impaired” during the worst of Fukushima and not in great shape if/when a nuclear accident happens in the US;
• TEPCO to dump groundwater into the ocean at a rate of 1,000 tons a day – the equivalent of 240,000 gallons;
• Fukushima women organize to share reliable information about radiation;
• Rumors spread of dead fetuses in utero and birth defects possibly traceble to Fukushima radiation;
• Big demos coming at GE shareholders meeting on April 24 and at San Onofre this Sunday, April 29;
• Poetry helps Japanese people heal via iPhone/iPad app;
• Radiation safety for your car;
• And when 92-year old Frances Crowe, arrested for protesting Vermont Yankee, was asked what her plea was to the charge, she answered, “I plead for the future of life and all living things in New England.”  Amen, Sister!

Arnie Gundersen asked for us to make our nuclear wishes known to our Senators and the President.  Here’s how you can do it:
