Featured Interview with Tim Judson, the new Executive Director of NIRS. He shares strategies for propelling our movement forward as well as exposing the soft, vulnerable underbelly of nuclear slumlord Entergy. Also, India's anti-nuclear firebrand Kumar Sundaram explains the significance of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's upcoming trip to India and how anyone can join in the protests with a selfie. RadCast w/Mimi German, of course! PLUS: Special Ocean report, with Woods Hole's Ken Buessler organizing a crowdsourced Pan-Pacific water sampling project; Race for governor of Tokyo heats up w/former Prime Minister and now anti-nuclear candidate Hosokawa joining the fight; new Japanese study confirms what we've known all along: there's no way to evacuate from a nuclear disaster before the radiation plume hits; and between Fort Calhoun and St. Lucie, nukes can't seem to keep operating if it rains or snows. What a wimpy, flawed technology!
