NTERVIEW: Don Hancock, Executive Director of Southwest Information and Research Center, provides an update on the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) accident of Valentine's Day, 2014 and perspective on the magnitude of the problem, the contaminated workers, and the likelihood that it will ever be able to be cleaned up. NUMNUTZ OF THE WEEK: Tennessee's senior senator can't imagine a world without nuclear, even as a dam in his state is continuing to show signs of possible failure... and it's upstream from seven nuclear reactors, all of which could be flooded to create a Fukushima-style scenario. PLUS: Lots of anti-nuclear news.
