Rogue nuclear regulator/former NRC chair Jaczko spills the nuclear beans on Fukushima, reactor “safety,” nuclear politics
January 12, 2022
This Week’s Featured Interview on Nuclear Hotseat Podcast:
- Greg Jaczko, the former Chair of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, has published an explosive new book: Confessions of a Rogue Nuclear Regulator. (NOTE: Link is to Amazon, but we recommend you order it through your local independent book store.) In it, he gets honest with the American people about the dangers of nuclear technology, which he labels “failed,” “dangerous,” “not reliable.” He particularly comes down against nuclear as having any part in mitigating the problems of climate change/global warming. In this extended Nuclear Hotseat interview, Jaczko brings us inside the NRC’s response to Fukushima, the “precipice” on which nuclear safety balances, his own growing doubts about how safe nuclear reactors are in the United States, and how, ultimately, it was that concern with safety that probably brought him down. Originally recorded on January 10, 2019, just after his book was published.
- “Jaczko Nixes Nukes” – A Backgrounder on Greg Jaczko’s book and the issues he addresses from Dr. Gordon Edwards of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility.
Fukushima Anniversary SPECIAL: Voices From Japan 2020 – Tokyo Shimbun Reporter Takeshi Yamakawa
Signs outside the Fukushima Exclusion Zone. In 2019, total of 26 English caution signs were placed in 12 places in exclusion zones to prevent foreigners from trespassing in radioactive areas. YouTubers and the Netflix show “Dark Tourism” have trespassed in high radiation areas and illegally entered shops and homes, prompting the local authorities to post signage in English.

Numnutz of the Week (for Outstanding Nuclear Boneheadedness):
Nuclear disaster? Radiation? Contamination of Japanese food? Fukushima sake in Manhattan? I’ll drink to that! (… or NOT…)
Activist Links:
- Public Comment needed on Department of Energy’s proposal to abandon high-level radioactive wastes in situ – meaning right where it is now, on site at reactors and on already contaminated lands.
- Suggested wording for comments from Beyond Nuclear, CLICK HERE.
- DOE’s proposal, CLICK HERE.
- LA Times article on Marco Kaltofen: “Hidden Danger: Radioactive Dust is Found in Communities Around Nuclear Weapons”
- For the dust testing protocols after the Woolsey Fire, CLICK HERE.
Key facts to remember:- Protect yourself from the dust and dirt with a mask and clothing that can be easily washed or even thrown away.
- Do NOT simply send in to Fairewinds; you MUST get approval and registration with them or your sample will be disposed of without being opened.
- The results will take at least 5 months, if not longer, to show up. This is because of the intensity of the testing program and the number of steps that must be taken. BE PATIENT. When you get the data, it will be solid and scientific.

Nuclear Hotseat #271: How Radiation in Oceans Contaminates Our Food Supply – Tim Deere-Jones
This Week’s Featured Interview:
- Tim Deere-Jones is an independent marine pollution consultant and a specialist in the behavior and fate of marine pollutants in ocean, coastal and estuarine environments. He explains how radiation in the ocean from Fukushima and the UK’s Sellafield nuclear facility have impacted food safety at tremendous distances, as far away as the US West Coast. A jaw-dropping eye-opening report. This is an Encore presentation originally presented on Nuclear Hotseat #225 from October 13, 2015.
Numnutz of the Week:
The only thing “super” about Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe-Baby showing up dressed as Super Mario at the Rio Olympics is his gall at continuing to lie about the nuclear contamination awaiting anyone who dares to attend the 2020 Tokyo Radioactive NOlympics. (And that ball he’s holding is pure projection, if not delusion…)
