This week, we commemorate the 29th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine with a Nuclear Hotseat Special. We'll hear from Chernobyl survivor Bonnie Kouneva, a teenager in Bulgaria when the accident began, on the impact to her and her not-yet-born children; from Dr. Janette Sherman, who edited the English edition of Dr. Alexey Yablokov's groundbreaking book, Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment; a brief interview w/Dr. Yablokov himself from Dr. Helen Caldicott's 2013 Symposium on the Medical and Ecological Impact of the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster; and Voices from Japan makes the Chernobyl/Fukushima connection personal with a message from Ryuichi Hirokawa, a Japanese journalist who was the first non-Soviet photo journalist allowed at Chernobyl and began working at Fukushima the day after the disaster began.
