TRT World's The Newsmakers: 30 Years Since Chernobyl
As featured on TRT World's "The Newsmakers": Thirty years since the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown, The Newsmakers asks Kevin Kamps [of Beyond Nuclear in Washington, D.C., U.S.A.] and Jonathan Cobb [of the World Nuclear Association in London, U.K.] what lessons have been learnt from the world's worst civil nuclear disaster. [Watch the segment, from the beginning of the recording to the 14 minute 12 second mark.]
Much of the debate centered on the roll of renewables (such as wind and solar) and efficiency -- instead of nuclear power -- in averting climate catastrophe.
