#98: LaSalle NPP Radiation Leak Threatens Chicago

Sinopse

LaSalle NPP near Chicago goes SCRAM four times w/an uncontrolled radiation leak in less than two weeks; is the country's most nuclear state about to go critical? Nuclear Energy and Information Service's Gail Payne and Andrew Kishner of NuclearCrimes.org explain the complex issues while admitting that no one knows exactly how much radiation was vented. Oy. PLUS: NYTimes says TEPCO "just hanging on," hasn't a clue; Japan refuses its responsibility to evacuate kids from Fukushima radiation zone; More peaceful Koodankulam protesters arrested in India; radiation rises in Tokyo and no one knows -- or will admit to -- why; Entergy told to pay Red Cross over $700K for evacuation plan; and Leverett, Massachusetts, votes to abolish the NRC! (Would that it were so easy...)
