NUCLEAR POWER - Nuclear Aftershocks

"After Fallout of Fukushima, 'Frontline' Explores Nuclear Energy's Future" PBS Newshour 1/17/2012

Excerpt

GWEN IFILL (Newshour): Next, questions about the safety and future of nuclear energy in the wake of the Fukushima reactor disaster in Japan.

That's the subject of tonight's "Frontline." ("Nuclear Aftershocks" 53:40min)

NewsHour science correspondent Miles O'Brien traveled to three continents to find the answers. Here in the United States, he looked at the Indian Point Power Plant in Buchanan, New York. One of the reactors there was shut down last week for repairs, the 18th unplanned shutdown in five years.

Here's a portion of Miles' piece.

We should not build things that human beings cannot control.
