#97: CHERNOBYL ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

Published: April 24, 2013, 5:46 a.m.

In commemoration of the 27th anniversary of Chernobyl on April 26, three interviews: Dr. Alexei Yablokov, author of the groundbreaking book, CHERNOBYL: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment; Dr. Janette Sherman, who edited the English translation of Dr. Yablokov's book and speaks to her own expertise about the impact of radiation on fetuses, children and adults; and Chernobyl survivor Bonnie Kouneva, who as a teenager lived 800 miles away in Bulgaria... but it wasn't far enough. PLUS: Los Angeles tells NRC: Hold SCE's feet to the fire at an Adjudicated Evidentiary Hearing (a legally-binding trial) on San Onofre; Florida tells Progress Energy: No more taxpayer money for non-existent nuclear reactors! (Duh!); and then there's always Koodankulam, Fukushima, TEPCO - it's all numnutz!
