Fukushima accident now Chernobyl-style Level 7. Analysis of risk & radiation by Arnie Gundersen, industry insider & whistleblower. Chat w. Calif. activist Ace Hoffman. Our milk, food, water hit. Lots of news clips you never hear. Plus corporate & political intrigue in Tokyo as "disaster capitalism" kicks in.
In Fukushima Japan, we've passed another week out of eternity. Quakes rocked the damaged reactors, at the accident now rated Level 7, like Chernobyl. The evacuation zone was expanded, massive radiation admitted, and found in milk from Hawaii through California to Vermont and Europe.
I'm Alex Smith. This week on Radio Ecoshock we dig to find you the news not heard. In Japan, North America, Australia, all over this world, reconsecrated to the atomic nightmare.
We start out with the American nuclear expert, industry insider and whistleblower Arnie Gundersen, with a detailed investigation of each reactor. Where is plutonium coming from, where it going, where is panic only appropriate?
Later we'll chat with California activist Ace Hoffman, who told us this was coming, and worries about his own local reactors.
All through, you'll get news from Japan, and the world media, from the epicentre of a nuclear sore that will ooze radioactivity for centuries. Fukushima, the name we never knew, the name we can never forget.
I'm going to run your head through the media meat grinder - hacking Fukushima. Along the way we explore some issues raised in our Radio Ecoshock interview with Arnie Gundersen.
You'll also hear about internal battles for control, between the Japanese Prime Minister, his opponents, and Tepco the utility. Did wrangling cause No 1 Reactor to blow up? Meanwhile, giant corporations (and their political donations) compete to get the juicy 30-year contract to "dismantle" the Fukushima Dai-ichi site. Obama's favorite donor, Exelon Corp goes with GE (whose CEO just visted Japan) and Hitachi bid for the job.
They oppose a bid by Toshiba and the French company Areva (maybe that's why Sarkozy went to Japan so quickly?).
Deep conspiracists wonder if a secret Japanese project to develop, or have ready for quick assembly, an atomic arsenal. Could that explain all the plutonium at Reactor 3 and 4? Anything is possible, as North Korea threatens, along with the traditional fear of China, while the U.S. may pull bases due to economic collapse...
