From Voice of America to Voice of Russia, Beyond Nuclear addresses nuclear safety risks

Beyond Nuclear's Kevin Kamps was interviewed by both Voice of America as well as Voice of Russia yesterday. Voice of America asked about both flood risks to nuclear power plants in Nebraska, as well as fire risks at the Los Alamos nuclear weapons lab in New Mexico. Voice of Russia asked about nuclear power safety risks in general, and flooding risks in Nebraska in particular. Kamps was previously interviewed by Voice of America on the first day of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe as well. He was also interviewed by Voice of America a few days into the catastrophe, about the risks of 23 operating reactors in the U.S. that share the identical design as Fukushima Daiichi Units 1 to 4. Voice of Russia also previously interviewed Kevin, on April 11th; he and Takoma Park, Maryland Nuclear-Free Zone Committee member Bob Rinne debated a nuclear engineering professor, Igor Strakovsky, from George Washington University about the safety risks of nuclear power.
