THIS WEEK’S FEATURE INTERVIEW:

  • Karen Nickle is a long time resident of the North St. Louis area who grew up close to Coldwater Creek, where a social media survey revealed a cancer cluster caused by  Manhattan Project-era radioactive nuclear waste in the water. Since 2012, she has been involved in fighting for appropriate action to be taken to clean up the area and secure some kind of justice for local citizens.  Along with Dawn Chapman, who was interviewed on Nuclear Hotseat #227, she is the Admin of the West Lake Landfill Facebook page.
