Chuck Johnson, Director of the Joint Task Force on Nuclear Power, Oregon/Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility, talks with host David Delk about small nuclear modular reactors(SMR).  Chuck explains the reasons for opposing the development of nuclear energy and the similarity between tradition  nuclear plants and SMRs.  We touch on the current difficulties of the nuclear industry with the bankruptcy of Westinghouse.  And we look at the curret status of SB990 in the Oregon legislature, written to override existing prohibitions in Oregon to building nuclear facilities within the state.
