Hear Arnie Gundersen on USA’s costly shutdown nuclear reactors
AUDIO http://www.fairewinds.com/content/fairewinds-podcast REPAIRS AT FOUR NUCLEAR REACTORS ARE SO EXPENSIVE THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE RESTARTED Jan 13, 2013 Fairewinds examines continuing problems at four US nuclear reactors, each of which have been shutdown for more than two years. Upstream dam failures continue to plague Ft. Calhoun, steam generator tube failures at San Onofre jeopardized Los Angeles. Crystal River’s containment repairs burden Floridians with excessive costs. Finally, Arnie examines a new proposal by the Department of Energy to melt radioactive scrap metal and reuse it in consumer goods like knives and forks.

It was really wonderful having an opportunity to listen in to this. Thank you for sharing this and esp to Mr. Gundersen. It’s too bad it seems like the NRC and others want you to do their work for them! Please keep us updated.
