Nuclear Hotseat Podcast # 530: On August 8, as part of the commemoration of the atomic bomb being dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Taos Environmental Film Festival produced an important panel discussion. Anti-nuclear and peace activists shared their views on the problems and possible solutions for nuclear dangers at two New Mexico sites:
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) – which is being tasked by the government with producing 30 plutonium pits a year for mega-bombs we do not need.
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) – which is already storing low- and mid-level radioactive nuclear waste, but is being proposed for expansion far beyond its intended storage capacity and its use-by date of 2025.
Six activists share histories, actions, and how to build the movement against nuclear:
Executive Director of Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety Joni Arends,
Operations and Research Director of Nuclear Watch New Mexico Scott Kovac,
Taos Peace Activist Erich Kuerschner,
Founder of Veterans for Peace Santa Fe Ken Mayers,
Artist/activist Serit Kotowski,
Peace and Justice activist Bud Ryan

Numnutz of the Week (for Outstanding Nuclear Boneheadedness):
It’s Evil Numnutz time when it turns out that the 20-year Afghan war was really just a full-employment business strategy for weapons-producing companies.
