The Atomic Show #064 – Earthquakes, Stings, Kazakhstan’s investment

ByRod Adams

Rod’s first solo show. Topics include Japanese earthquake, GAO sting of NRC, Kazakhstan investment in Westinghouse, rethinking nuclear

This is my first show as a solo podcaster. On the show I talk about the recent earthquake in Japan, the GAO’s sting operation targeting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Kazakhstan’s investment in Westinghouse, an interesting blog post titled Rethinking Nuclear, and my desire to create some new atomic evangelists.

I hope you enjoy the show and provide plenty of commentary. This show needs to be a team effort; your participation makes it better.
