Beyond Nuclear on the Thom Hartmann Show: tritium leaks

Thom Hartmann had Beyond Nuclear's Kevin Kamps on his television show yesterday to discuss radioactive steam   releases at San Onofre nuclear power plant in California due to defective, brand new steam generators -- a problem that has surfaced at Three Mile Island and Arkansas Nuclear One as well, due to brand new, yet defective, steam generators fabricated by Areva of France. Tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen that emits beta radiation particles, is a clinically proven cause of cancer, birth defects, and genetic damage, which can integrate into the human biological system right down to the most intimate levels -- including the DNA molecule.
