Nuclear Hotseat #66 - Sean Bonner of Safecast

Published: Sept. 18, 2012, 11 p.m.

Interview w/Sean Bonner, one of the founders of Safecast, which provides radiation testing devices on the ground in Japan and elsewhere in the world to map radiation levels. The group uses open source designs and encourages anyone who likes to use or adapt their designs. Humanitarianism at its best. Plus: Japan declares they're phasing out nuclear by the 2030's, but there are some holes in their announcement; two nukes in Belgium shut down because of cracks; Quebec will shut down its one reactor; and Spain closing down another; NRC accused of covering up flood threats from upstream dams; Indian Point loses to "terrorists" in safety drill; and Dianukes announces the first-ever (but definitely not the last) Nuke Liar Awards! Nominate your favorite numnutz! Give them the recognition they so richly deserve.
