Vermont--home of covered bridges ... maple syrup ... and an ancient nuclear power plant now seeking an operating-license renewal of 20 years. Famed antinuclear activist Helen Caldicott, M.D., speaking near "Vermont Yankee," explains why such nuclear plants are killers when operating properly and not nice at all when they (frequently) malfunction. A witty, scary, & funny talk.
Caldicotts Brattleboro speech from her series, "If You Love This Planet," #51 (August 2009).
"New World Notes" is produced for WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford. Feedback to kdowst at hotmail period com.
