Interview w/Dr. Jim Green, Friends of the Earth's Nuclear Campaigner for Australia on that country's culpability for Fukushima and whether it's really safer from radiation down under than in the Northern Hemisphere. RadCast with Mimi German gives the "nuclear weather report" for the US, showing increased radiation across the country. PLUS: TEPCO admits what they knew and when they know it re: meltdowns in Fukushima Units 1,2,3 and Dr. Caldicott labels their actions criminal irresponsibility" and "corporate terrorism" as she calls for an international tribunal on nuclear power and weapons. Highest ever radiation recorded in water at Fukushima within 16 feet of the Pacific Ocean. Hot particle found 250 miles from Fukushima. Call for Catholics to champion 83-year-old Sister Megan Rice to Pope Francis before she's sentenced for civil disobedience at Oak Ridge nuke site. And three, count them, three Numnutz of the Week - so much stupidity, I couldn't choose.
