This is Part 1 of 3 reports on Nuclear Power since Obama is making good on his War on Coal (new regulations last Friday).
This video about the real risks of nuclear in light of what we’re seeing at Fukushima, risks of spent fuel pools here in the US.
Following videos will be 2:30 to fit into new Nightly News format & will talk about:
(2) health risks and economic costs of decommissioning plants and storing waste
(3) Obama’s War on Coal in the name of failed climate models and his love affair with nuclear
Spent reactor fuel, containing roughly 85 times more long-lived radioactivity than released at Chernobyl, still sits in pools vulnerable to earthquakes. And what of our own nuclear power plants? The largest storage pools in the country are located in a heavily populated area at a reactor complex, Shearon Harris, just outside Raleigh, NC transported from other reactors by rail through high population centers on the East Coast. A report from scientists at MIT and Princeton warned that...
"Spent fuel recently discharged from a reactor could heat up relatively rapidly and catch fire," wrote Bob Alvarez, a former advisor to the Department of Energy and co-author of the report. "The fire could well spread to older fuel. The long-term land contamination consequences of such an event could be significantly worse than Chernobyl."

General Wesley Clark told the world that he learned of White House plans to take out Syria just weeks after 9/11-- that was more than a decade ago. As the world waits to see if the Obama Administration will usher in WW3, Iran is busy building a "Friendship Pipeline" to secure a direct oil route through Syria and out to European markets. This will threaten US interests since Russia - Iran and Syria's ally - is already the major supplier of energy to Europe, and this pipeline will bypass Saudi Arabia, potentially propping up Iran's influence on the world's economic system. The Globalists will stop at nothing to ensure Iran does not become a world superpower. - Watch now
