Published: Jan. 23, 2013, 5:05 a.m.

Beyond Nuclear's Cindy Folkers (the brain behind those great weekly action bulletins) provides insights into nuke industry collusion and manipulation, as well asher specialty: ionizing radiation and its impact on health and the environment. PLUS: IAEA declares 47 Japanese reactors in "Long Term Shutdown;" allegations of fraud in Japan's general election that brought in a pro-nuke government; Nuke industry pre-3/11 talking points pushing the disinformation that "radiophobia" - fear of radiation - is more harmful to health than radiation ; Fuku fish caught w/2,500 times more radiation than Japan's bloated safety limit - it would even be illegal to import to and sell in the US!; and NRC asleep at the wheel literally as committee chair (NOT Allison MacFarlane) nods off and #2 chair (the stool?) gets upset that Arnie had more info on San Onofre's problems -- the nerve!
