Post Fukushima: All the King's Horses and All the King's Men...

Fairewinds' Chief Engineer Arnie Gundersen testifies to the NRC Petition Review Board detailing why the 23 BWR Mark 1 nuclear power plants should be shut down following the accidents at Fukushima. True wisdom means knowing when to modify something and knowing when to stop. Sometimes, all the King's horses and all the King's men should not try to put Humpty Dumpty together again.

Archived webcast of Beyond Nuclear's emergency enforcement petition to NRC on Mark 1s now available
The archived webcast of Beyond Nuclear's October 7th, 2011 NRC Petition Review Board meeting on its 10CFR2.206 emergency enforcement petition is now available. Beyond Nuclear was joined by numerous allies from various grassroots anti-nuclear groups who live in the shadows of General Electric Mark 1 boiling water reactors -- identical twins to the design at Fukushima Daiichi Units 1 to 4.
