Going. To die on my blog Nuclear Emergency a massive new explosion rocks or crippled reactor plant in japan prompting the previous peugeot radiation catastrophe and a new wave of back you wish youd. Pull out british reactor up in smoke out dangerous radiation leaks can be a point located on a seismic fold the smoldering disaster zone the latest challenges. The Fukushima Daiichi site a fire in the number 4 reactor thats right down here in the area just near the roofs were highly radioactive spent fuel rods are stored this turn for the worse in reactor 4 after a day in which there was some evidence japan might finally be making some small progress as it struggles with the worst Nuclear Crisis since trolled. Lets assess the risk with Arnie Gundersen hes a Nuclear Safety advocate who consults with them on state governments about the launch Yankee Nuclear plant mr gundersen is joining us on the telephone sir based on what you have heard this is reactor number 4 there was a fire there the ot
Chain reaction process in the reactor a tremendous heat which scientists have learned out of control. Really. Seem to harness the. I was so excited about Nuclear Engineering because i thought it would solve the Worlds Energy crisis is exciting science to realize youve got the power of the sun. Reactor near seoul or wyoming when everything works. To reform with making energy the problem is that everything has worked on japans Nuclear Nightmare continues a 2nd Hydrogen Explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex destroyed the reactors exterior all 3 daiichi reactors have Nuclear Fuel Rods that have been exposed to some degree so they are teetering on the edge of a meltdown i mean you need to sit. There you. Know the. First 3 more. One hour concerning that situation in japan im now joined live from vermont by all going to some now were reporting at the moment that theyre all suggestions that a partial Nuclear Meltdown is now underway this is not a Nuclear Chain reaction this is not
Understand that he of vermont doesnt know how to lead the world in getting off rogers and doyle and moving toward normal energy as fast as possible the planet will be unlivable for organisms like us. Legs shut down Vermont Yankee in 2012 the promise there we may be sure that initially scheana cleans up the masts and much of our governor whos going to move us to removal energy and move to his shane Energy Future lets vote for change on november 2nd thank you so much. Peter shall. Do solemnly swear that i will be true and faithful to the state of vermont. Where there will be true and faithful to the state of vermont. Federal regulators now say that her mind yankee is fit to be open for another 20 years our jeanne a bowler joins us now with the latest on this gina kristen late this afternoon in a Conference Call the n. R. C. Clear Regulatory Commission and now said they voted to extend for model employees license the n. R. C. Says it will formally issue with new license and a matter of bu
Reader and for obvious reasons, i feel very passionate about history, i think we need to be able to look through the lens of history at times that are similar to the times we are living in. We need to learn about people in our country who can be models for us all. History is obviously important, but i believe it has to be accessible way without dumbing it down or without lowering the standards for research or accuracy. So dont forget to read my source notes. I find source notes really grueling and so i always tell the audiences please read my source notes because i have spent so much time on them but in all seriousness, that is my quest. I want to entertain, but at the same time to deliver a very important story. And in order for me to get interested in the topic, it has to be really significant. It has to include things that i think will help us learn about ourselves and about our country. And another qualification for me is that it really has to be something that maybe has been swall
Boundaries, that become beyond the nation and become cosmopolitan and an example was Nuclear Power play plant explosions. I was writing on cosmopolitanism and at this time the Fukushima Nuclear disaster happened. And that altered how i was going to talk about cosmopolitanism in my research and i did work on publications feeling with fukushima and helping with the 35th anniversary conference here with three mile island and it was just an uncanny coincidence that i find myself working at a campus location close to three mile island having studied fukushima so thank you everyone for being here. And i want to at this point introduce our keynote speaker, Arnie Gundersen. So Arnie Gundersen is the chief engineer and a member of the board of directors for the nonprofit fair winds energy education, founded by his wife, maggie. An Energy Advisory with more than 47 years of Nuclear Engineering experience, mr. Gundersen earned his bachelor of science degree in Nuclear Engineering from polytech in
