Nuke protest is in the air w/Vermont Yankee activists arrested and the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory 6 convicted and awaiting sentencing. During our interview with one of the LANL 6, Dr. Catherine Euler, she describes getting arrested by cops but detained by Bechtel, along with info on the underestimated dangers of uranium mining and low level radiation. PLUS: Duke Energy to close Crystal River for good; US dumps medical registry for military personnel and families exposed to Fukushima radiation; staggering cancer and birth defect cluster found in St. Louis; Osaka burning Fukushima waste and spreading radionuclides; VA activist opposition defeats attempted repeal of state ban on uranium mining; and why the proper response to the NRC's usual "unusual occurrence" is: DUCK!
