Nuclear news in this Fukushima anniversary week

11 March – the fifth anniversary of the Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe.  There’s a prevailing attitude in the general world of media, business, and government, that it’s all over – nearly fixed, back to nuclear business as usual. Not true.  Indeed, the harrowing truth is otherwise. Dr Tilman Ruff is one of many who have set out the reality of the continuing health and environmental impacts of ionising radiation from Fukushima.

There is also a comprehensive new report , by Dr Ian Fairlea,  on the continuing health effects of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

The whole sorry nuclear story is brought up to date, in  a new 15 part series Nuclear Power in Our World Today. Episode One focuses on the “front end” of the nuclear chain – the truly awful and continuing effects of the thousands of old abandoned uranium mines.
