Greetings.
You may want to check your local listings for PBS and cable stations to see if they carry the America's Defense Monitor television program. Well, the episode to which I've devoted serious amounts of overtime is now finished. It's called "Nuclear Power, Nuclear Weapons." It's funded in part by the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.
"Nuclear Power, Nuclear Weapons" examines how civilian nuclear power is the backdoor through which determined nations may go to obtain nuclear weapons. It also looks at how nuclear facilities can be better protected against
sabotage and military bombardment. The show also includes sections on the
theft of nuclear materials, DOE's MOX disposal plan, the shipment of nuclear
waste from France to Japan, and the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel.
Interviewees include former IAEA inspector David Kay (he led the Parking Lot
standoff in Iraq that CNN made famous), former nuclear weapons designer Dr.
Ted Taylor, Nuclear Control Institute's Paul Leventhal, Scott Portzline, and
Three Mile Island's Mary Wells.
I think you might find the show interesting. Check it out. We air on PBS and cable stations around the country so check local listings (I know we air in
Milwaukee on PBS and in Madison on cable). If your local station doesn't carry ADM, you can always request that they do. It's free and they can download it from the PBS satellite or contact our offices to request free broadcast quality tapes.
Gotta run. I have two speeches to write for the Admiral. Ugh. One on NATO expansion and the other on nuclear weapons in the 21st century.
Hasta,
