NH #783: Setting the Record Straight! Ketterer on RECA Radiation Testing in Colorado & NM, Gundersen Testifies to NRC Against Palisades Restart
Dr. Michael Ketterer (l) and Brian M. Wilcox (r), collaborators and co-developers of the Arthur S. Ratcliffe Mobile Community Laboratory (Ratcliffe Lab). Michael is the Lab Manager and chemist, and Brian is the Chief Engineer and Physical Plant Manager. Seen here on location in Colorado.
This Week’s Featured Interviews:
- Dr. Michael Ketterer is an analytical chemist and Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Northern Arizona University (NAU). He specializes in understanding the sources, transport, and environmental fates of long-lived radioactive contaminants (such as uranium and plutonium) near former and active nuclear sites – and he’s been doing some important testing in radioactive hot-spots that have not yet been included in the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, or RECA.
Gundersen’s NRC Testimony on Palisades Restart
- Nuclear Engineer and whistleblower Arnie Gundersen testifies to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on the problems posed by the proposed restart of the Palisades Nuclear facility on Lake Michigan.
Numnutz of the Week (for Outstanding Nuclear Boneheadedness):
- Hurry hurry hurry! Speed more important than safety and accuracy! Gotta make that deadline so the optics line up… but at what possible ultimate cost when you rush the building of new untried nuclear reactor designs?
