welcome back to our program
great to have you with us are before we get to see an outbreak
please tell me
was the last time we talked you were telling us the tuna
other were starting to catch up the coast california rough because the west
as the united states and mexico is a contaminated with radioactive cesium
what is the situation right now with our with their food supply
but our seafood supply
well i think they've got because u_s_ federal government is not doing it shop
not checking it carefully so uh... you know allot of concern to the throne now
taken matters into their again there
purchasing the necessary equipment except the that's happening in japan
needs to happen in the last
is there any kind of organized group in the united states that is
i mean like i bought it you know one thing that i bought a geiger counter
double months ago i
iffy if there was a
a group that i could look into woods
say okay lt s things are a walk through the supermarket once a week is there
if he had or are you guys turn put something like that again
he actually uh...
baby poker could arbitration to retire radiation and health experts his talking
with poker
uh... ma prey on the west coast but really it should be happening other
places so
fairly are point person on that issue
okay good sabhi ko can learn about that ever be a nuclear dot org so there's
this nuclear power plant its internal for him i pronounce that right
yes and robert
okay so telling the story
well arcane way thirty-first then you know you proper group you
had me on your show that night about that
uh... the panel free unit number
brief sprung a leak
in a steam generator to and that is always a very significant because
if you order fail enough to you could have a lot cool an accident and the
reactor core
fortunately they only failed one to but it was the beginning of a long story
when they investigated the state of the two
significant degradation of the few and be to open unit
to unit three
have only been in service for about a year or two evoke brand-new replacement
steam generators
from mitsubishi heavy industries in japan at a cost of six hundred and
seventy million dollars
and they're failing failure to admit their service lectures for full after
thirty years
so why are they fail
eckerd out in the just happened last night the nuclear regulatory commission
held at a public uh...
it's called an augmented inspection team accent meeting
they were talking a southern california edison but the public content in the
room nine am anarchy costs and afterward
turns out that mitsubishi heavy industries computer modeling was
completely out of lack
and there at uh... in generators were divine brown to begin live show
via computer model estimated of certain well wait for the steam through these
casting generator to
of the actual
value
the q draco suffered significant vibration paper up against each other
and again surrounding support structures
an eighth and uh... highly decorated and actually under the earth
hired arnie gunderson up there when this took it
they called the trial month ago they identify the problem article back in
march
before the n_r_c_ editor
long before
and the other piano played a lot of game they try to uh... keep things hidden
trip on a possible and they're just under two months ago spotlight right but
uh... anarchy it making i'm pretty remarkable restaurant last night they
admit that they've never seen anything like that before
there maybe find a comfortable on medicine
a big question is are they going to have to replace the things that they want to
keep operating this plan that would be
putting the price tag over a billion dollars try to get this right now ***
is paying that so i'm assuming the southern california edison is coming
forward and saying
we're not crazy when i get a restart this nuclear plant with with the steam
turbines that
that if they fail to cause a meltdown at the core and are failing at the rate of
you know why i want to be year uh... were crazy right hand is we're gonna
replace them first aid is sis they must be sent right
not at all occurred and everyone around me think about half collar they think
that they do that but the vibration will be decreased and unfortunately the ir is
going on
fanning out at my work
well you know friendlier and all the grassroots groups are like no way that
would be giant nuclear experiment
isn't half hour
twice what they were designed for
icye you said that they were run four times as much steam through them as a
design force of the run half hour of the run
twice as much team is their design phone
overnight setup
four-time this team of volunteer there at the computer model predict that
that's because of the bad design of the steam generators uh...
the i reacted themselves they're both about one thousand that a lot for
electric and they have to check that on off the top of my hat but most reactor
newark
if these rubber stamp
cholera outbreak they're called where they actually run the reactors harder
and harder
than they were ever divine for so i don't know if that's the case that and
health report
problem is the configuration of the
in generator to they're just
pump in a way to much steam over
experi them all to you
so assistance shake-up in
prepared but you know there's a growing list of reactors in this country that
are very vulnerable to permanent uptown you've got
and i know for unit two and three you've got four kevin mcgrath elephants uptown
for fourteen months
after the historic flood them in a very you've got
for my hanky with the state government and the people of a mock adamantly
opposed to its operation
so what happening except that
uh... rebellion against nuclear power in the u_s_ and the grassroots ahranat
they're trying to keep the spring
shut down before they melt down
right today to tell you that japan to in the japanese government just fired up
nuclear power plant
before yesterday
yellow ickes showed how powerful the nuclear power industry is in japan both
politically and economically where they just
tell the prime minister what to do any kind of but
hopefully there's going to be from popular backlash i mean the only reason
that all fifty operable reactor comes up and up and shot down for
weeks ten months
is help the people
made itself you know the grass-roots pressure on
governor capri pictures
so for example of the holy
reactors
miro's doctor city the mayor of a proctor is
anti-nuclear he very concerned about safety implications of
that's restart
there are politicians with ambition who happen to be anti-nuclear and this may
cost
the current prime minister that's interesting
what's the state and i know we're building number for the last we heard
building them before fukushima hasn't ceiling policy related material in its
listing as it so going on
yet gallagher you know all of our breath again seven point out that the fifth not
the whole thing down and that way flipped the on fire with an hour ago
about the uh... catastrophe bigger than what happens on and and and uh... bigger
than chernobyl
atlanta and
temple while killing camps beyond that
