Citizens’ Radiation Data Map of Japan by the Minna-no Data Site reveals the deadly impact of the radioactivity released by the Fukushima Daiichi triple nuclear meltdown of March, 2011. 4,000 citizens took soil samples to capture the data that created the full 200-page book, written in Japanese, which won a major mainstream journalism award and is a “hot” seller in Japan. Now the English-language digest has been published, and non-Japanese speakers can see for ourselves the radiation contamination that resulted from that disaster. Mari Inoue of the Manhattan Project for a Nuclear-Free World is part of the team who worked on the English translation. Here, she explains how the data was collected, what it shows, and provides instruction for any community to duplicate this process to compile accurate radiation data in communities where contamination is suspected.

Nancy Foust of Simply Info interprets TEPCO announcement of alarms going off at radioactive remains of Fukushima triple meltdown site.

Nuclear Numnutz deja vu because, let’s face it, with nukes, everything old is new again, and again, and again… So we take a look back at 2018 through the lens of Nuclear Hotseat’s most popular feature, Numnutz of the Week. Listen to the “wacky” antics of the world’s most dangerous technology as it sails through: Japan’s hard work to “normalize” Fukushima and its radiation so the tourists dumb enough to show up for the 2020 Radioactive Tokyo Olympics will think that everything is AOK! US nuclear crews who opt for “high” crimes and misdemeanors – not once but twice! Ancient, decrepit or just irrelevent so-called “experts” opining to a transfixed mainstream media in support of nukes… when they have nothing to do with them The ongoing Fukushima Food Fight – whether it’s propaganda on the ground selling Fuku sake to New York hipsters or Japan taking South Korea and now Taiwan to the World Trade Organization to try to ram Fukushima fish down the throats of safety-conscious residents of other count

Nuclear weapons build-up insanity, Los Alamos EPA "clean up" and radiation lies exposed with veteran activist Jay Coghlin of Nukewatch NM. He explains how fast-and-cheap "clean up" of radioactive sites is funding the new nuclear arms race. Interviewed by Nuclear Hotseat producer/host Libbe HaLevy

Hiroshima/Nagasaki 74th commemoration + Kansas City Site: Interview with journalist Claire Schaeffer-Duffy, who examined the Kansas City Site, which made parts for 85% of all atom bombs, but was supposedly a "non-nuclear" site, meaning no radioactive materials. WRONG! Workers got sick from unreported radioactivity & government delays, denials. #NuclearHotseat w/#LibbeHaLevy

Uranium mining marks the start of the nuclear fuel chain and the deadly journey that element takes to become atomic weapons, nuclear reactors, and tons of highly radioactive waste that we do not know how to store safely for tens of thousands of years. On July 13 and 14, Nuclear Hotseat attended commemorative events for the 1979 Church Rock uranium tailings pond breach and spill, which dumped more than 94 million gallons of highly acidic radioactive water into the adjacent Puerco River. The contamination reached Sanders, Arizona, and was recorded at least 80 miles away. The spill has never been cleaned up, and even now, while it has been declared a Superfund site, it will take at least two years before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission finishes its review of the EPA’s clean-up plan – and clean-up can’t even begin until and unless the plan is approved.. And even that plan has come in for criticism by activists and community members. This very special Nuclear Hotseat is an audio montage of interviews with comm

A Nuclear Hotseat classic episode: Chernobyl health cover-up by United Nations, World Health Organization & IAEA exposed by Alison Katz of the Geneva, Switzerland-based Independent WHO. If you saw the HBO Chernobyl series, you must listen to this! Note that the Church Rock Pt 2 episode will post next week - tech problems have delayed it.)

Full-length interview with Chris Shuey, Director of the Uranium Impact Assessment Program for Southwest Research and Information Service (SRIC.org). He has worked with Navajo Nation communities on uranium mining issues for 38 years. Chris has helped document the persistent impact of the 1979 uranium tailings pond disaster, which dumped 94 million gallons of highly acidic radioactive waste into the Puerco River and traveled beyond Sanders, Arizona. In this special extended interview, he goes over the resulting degradation of the water, land, and health on Navajo Nation, as well as cultural issues that make the People unwilling to leave their ancestral lands, no matter how contaminated.

Nuclear earthquake? "If 7.1 Ridgecrest quake had been closer to Diablo Canyon nuclear reactors in San Luis Obispo, the resulting disaster would have wiped out LA, the Central Valley, and maybe humanity." - Veteran activist/journalist/broadcaster Harvey Wasserman. PLUS Holtec CEO’s son buys $4 MIL car. Is that where the purloined decommissioning funds have gone? Nuclear Hotseat #420

Radioactive waste generated by U.S. nuclear reactors stands at over 80,000 TONS of the stuff – with nowhere safe to store it long-term. The nuclear industry is pushing hard for an ill-advised so-called “interim” storage site in either New Mexico or West Texas – or both. Recent hearings held by the House and Senate barely allowed the public to be heard, and more hearings are on their way. But what does it all mean to the people most immediately effected? Nuclear Hotseat’s Libbe HaLevy talks with four genuine experts on various aspects of the radioactive waste problem: Kevin Kamps, Nuclear Waste Specialist for Beyond Nuclear, gives the horrifying overview. Diane D’Arrigo, Radioactive Waste Project Director for Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS), goes into the legal issues and current manipulations being attempted by the nuclear industry. Leona Morgan, Nuclear Issues Study Group in Albuquerque, New Mexico, reveals what it’s like on-the-ground, protesting and working to raise public awa
