This Week’s Featured Interview: Lucas Hixon is a nuclear researcher who has been on-the-ground at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, part of a US-led coalition of experts and professionals who work hand in hand with the workers. http://tinyurl.com/h5f5fht We spoke initially while he was in Ukraine, but waited until he was back in the US to talk about issues stemming from the placement of the New “Safe” Confinement structure; questions about the long term soundness of the new structure that require close monitoring in the coming years, and implications for the Fukushima clean-up from what has been learned at Chernobyl. PLUS: Learn how you can help Lucas with medical supplies for Chernobyl workers and rabies shots + spay/neuter for the Dogs of Chernobyl at Clean Futures Fund. http://tinyurl.com/h5f5fht Nuclear Hotseat #284: CHERNOBYL EXCLUSIVE! – New Arch Not “the End;” It’s the Beginning – On-The-Ground Report with Lucas Hixon http://tinyurl.com/hkmr782 and this weeks Nuclear Reactor Problems. Also Shocking, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy Defends Plan for Raising Allowable Levels of Radiation in Drinking Water in Emergencies http://tinyurl.com/zx3adah “I’ve never before seen someone increasing by a factor of a thousand, by 10 thousand or 100 thousand. I’ve never ever seen numbers like that and I thought at first it must be a misprint. It isn’t. They’re actually proposing increases that large.” To view links to EPA PAGS: Protective Action Guide for Drinking Water 2009 http://tinyurl.com/jjac4kj 2013 http://tinyurl.com/j8v665s 2016 http://tinyurl.com/jf33j2a Documents obtained by NBC Bay Area reveal that even the EPA’s own experts are concerned about the proposed plan as far back as 2009. http://tinyurl.com/jppmcbl And, Senior Attorney in the Office of General Counsel at EPA, Charles Openchowski wrote, “This guidance would allow cleanup levels that exceed (current levels) by a factor of 100, 1000, and in two instances 7 million, and there is nothing to prevent those levels from being the final cleanup achieved.” Both Senator Barbara Boxer http://tinyurl.com/zgm5sth and New York’s State Assistant Attorney General John Sipos have written letters asking the EPA to withdraw the proposal due to the concerns over public health. Sixty environmental groups have also written a letter, and at least one lawsuit is in the works.
