WBEZ hosts a fascinating discussion with a former nuclear industry executive-turned-whistleblower, including an explanation of the current health and cleanup controversies and radiation risks. Also discussed is the reported pressure the Obama administration has be applying on Japan–perhaps on behalf of nuclear firm Exelon?–to maintain its active nuclear industry. Last month Japan announced a new policy aiming to abolish nuclear over the next two decades.
