Why Nagasaki? with Marc Estrin 08/09/2022

From the organizers:

Marc is the author of "Insect Dreams: The Half Life of Gregor Samsa." The book is Marc's variation of the life of Gregor Samsa, Kafka's cockroach-turned-human. In Marc's tale, Gregor circulates a petition among its nuclear scientists to call off the Manhattan Project...

Nuclear Free Future host Margaret Harrington talks with Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog of Beyond Nuclear, about the situation in the Korean Peninsula today. The discussion ranges from where North Korea got the materials for their nuclear capabilities to the uranium bank set up by the International Atomic Energy Agency in Kazakhstan. Drawing on his decades of activism, Kevin Kamps gives us a perspective that connects the issues of nuclear waste, nuclear arms escalation, the relaxing of security around Vermont Yankee, and the Trump Administration nominees for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and presents us with a coherent challenge.
