NUKE DECOMMISSIONING, RADIOACTIVE WASTE & WASTE HEAT FRYING THE PLANET
>
> We’re joined in Solartopia by the great activists LINDA SEELEY, KEVIN KAMPS and DONNA GILMORE to discuss the shutdowns of more and more reactors with the on-going crisis in decommissioning, waste management and the waste heat that is a major cause of global warming.
>
> All atomic reactors are (barely) contained Hiroshimas, with 400 of them scorching the planet 24/7 worldwide. By converting relatively inert uranium into steady-stream fission explosions, atomic energy becomes a prime source of frying our planet. Arguments that nukes help with global warming are therefore—literally—insane.
>
> Likewise radioactive waste, which is being stored throughout the US in substandard tin cans prone to cracking, possibly leading to nuke explosions.
>
> As reactors like Oyster Creek (NJ), Pilgrim (MA) and Palisades (MI) streak toward shut-down, these three world class experts warn us of the nightmares we must expect.
