Podcasts about nuclear accidents

Matthew Fox and Riki Hayashi dive deep into the 2016 Japanese film Shin Godzilla. They explore how this installment in the iconic Godzilla franchise serves as a powerful metaphor for the devastating Fukushima Nuclear Accident of 2011. Join them as they unravel the layers of social commentary and critique woven throughout the film.Key Points:How does Shin Godzilla differ from previous Godzilla movies in its tone and style? Matthew and Riki discuss how the film is shot more like a documentary or mockumentary, emphasizing bureaucratic incompetence and red tape in the face of disaster.What parallels can be drawn between the events in Shin Godzilla and the real-life government response to the Fukushima Nuclear Accident? The hosts examine scenes that mirror the Prime Minister's actions during the crisis and the film's criticism of inadequate evacuation orders.Does Shin Godzilla take a stance on Japan's military and its role in national defense? Matthew and Riki explore the complexities of Japan's pacifist identity post-World War II and debate whether the film suggests a need for a stronger military presence.Other Topics Covered:The meaning behind the title "Shin Godzilla" and its cultural significanceThe absence of the Japanese Emperor in the film and its implicationsThe portrayal of the United States and its role in the movie's conflictThemes of national pride, rebuilding, and civilian ingenuity in the face of adversityComparisons to the more recent film, Godzilla Minus OneShin Godzilla proves to be a thought-provoking and socially relevant addition to the Godzilla franchise. Through its biting satire and poignant metaphors, the film sheds light on the complexities of governmental response to crises and the resilience of the Japanese people.  We've started the conversation.

On this day in 1979, the nation's worst commercial nuclear accident happened in Pennsylvania. 

In this Concrete Logic Podcast episode, Seth and Dan discuss nuclear power and its connection to the concrete industry. They address public perception of nuclear power, the efficiency of nuclear energy, and the challenges of other energy sources like hydroelectric, wind, and solar power. They also explore the concerns about nuclear power, including waste management and accidents. Dan explains the storage and management of nuclear waste and highlights the potential of future reactor designs that can reuse waste as fuel. Overall, they emphasize the importance of clean and efficient power generation for society. In this conversation, Dan McCoy and Seth discuss the potential of small modular reactors (SMRs) and their application in data centers. They address concerns and misconceptions surrounding nuclear power, highlighting its safety and waste management capabilities. The conversation delves into the efficiency and potential of fusion energy, emphasizing the need for continued research and development. The advantages of SMRs, including their scalability and rapid deployment, are discussed. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the importance of critical thinking when consuming media. Takeaways Nuclear power is an efficient and clean energy source. The public perception of nuclear power has been influenced by past accidents and the misinformation surrounding them. Nuclear waste is a manageable issue, with current storage methods containing a relatively small amount of waste. Future reactor designs offer the potential to reuse nuclear waste as fuel, increasing efficiency and reducing waste. Small modular reactors (SMRs) offer a promising solution for power generation, particularly in data centers. Nuclear power is statistically proven to be the safest and cleanest form of energy. Small modular reactors (SMRs) offer advantages such as scalability and rapid deployment. The United States Navy's successful use of nuclear power demonstrates its safety and reliability. Critical thinking is essential when consuming media to ensure a well-rounded understanding of complex topics.

It's the worst accident in US commercial nuclear power history. In March 1979, the Unit 2 reactor at Three Mile Island nuclear generating station came half an hour from full meltdown. Two days later, an explosive bubble of hydrogen gas was found in the reactor.To talk technical malfunction, human error and public response, J Samuel Walker joins Don for this episode. Sam is a former historian of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and author of 'Three Mile Island: A Nuclear Crisis in Historical Perspective'.Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Siobhan Dale.

Japan is scarce in critical natural resources and has been heavily dependent on imported energy, so nuclear energy has been a national strategic priority since the 1970s. Japan's power companies had strived to make nuclear power the key to combining environmental conservation with economic growth and energy security, however after a number of disasters, production has been in a sharp decline. The Tokai Nuclear Power Plant was Japan's first commercial plant, but it would also be the location of one of the country's worst nuclear crisis. This episode includes promos for A Nefarious Nightmare and Horrifying History.

In this episode, Alex covers Paul Ryan's disingenuous comments about being “Never-Trump-Again.” Ryan claimed to appreciate Trump's record but did not appreciate the losses in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Instead, it would add legitimacy to the “moving-on-from-Trump” movement if someone like Paul Ryan would just say the quiet part out loud — Trump is dangerous! Later, Alex argues that the Hunter Biden investigations that are likely to come may backfire on Republicans and are only an attempt at distracting and deflecting from the nepotism and corruption that plagued Trump's presidency. Finally, Alex discusses troubling reports from the Russian-controlled nuclear plant in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. Apparently, heavy shelling out over the weekend has put the facility at high risk of dangerous scenarios.  The International Atomic Energy Agency has voiced concern and called for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine; however, none have occurred.

Show Notes With last week's general discussion of the plot of Char's Counterattack out of the way, it's time to start diving deep on specific aspects of the film. This week: environmental justice advocate Colin joins us to discuss the environment, and environmentalism, in Char's Counterattack. Plus in the research Thom explores what it might mean that the Federation is headquartered in Lhasa while Nina looks at how a 1988 audience might have responded to talk of 'nuclear winter'. From the Talkback In preparation for our conversation, Colin had us read "Principles of Environmental Justice" by the Delegates to the First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit held on October 24-27, 1991, and "The Progressive Plantation" by Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin. You can find Colin on Twitter at @padgettish and listen to them co-host for Wow! Cool Robot!!'s coverage of Zeta Gundam, or their own much less serious podcast about Medabots at Medawatch.

In this short story, we talk about Nazi Germany's attempt at nuclear fission and the accident that followed those attempts.

Description: This week's topic was inspired by tweets posted by Cindy Wang Brandt and Annika Hansteen-Izora. They are fans of “The Errand Hang”, and so is Laura House, who has been doing it for years. She and Annabelle get into the psychology of why errand hangs are so fun, and we hear from House's bff Lovelys. Things You Should Stop Worrying About This Week How many millions of boxes of Girl Scout cookies remain unsoldhttps://www.tampabay.com/news/florida/2021/06/11/city-of-brooksville-accidentally-sells-its-water-tower/The 113 countries whose dogs have been banned from entering the U.S.This week's episode is sponsored by Owl Crate Jr.Save 15% off on your first subscription or non-renewing gift of Owl Crate Jr., with the code TINY at checkout.Do YOU have a tiny victory to share? Call the Tiny Victories Hotline: (323) 285-1675We want folks to share their tiny victories on our hotline because, frankly, we'll assume we're just talking into the void every week and nothing matters.

On Saturday April 26th 1986, the world was given a glimpse of just what Humanity's flirtation with the atom could lead to when the no.4 reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant melted down. It remains the largest nuclear disaster in history being rated at a 7 – the highest number on the International Nuclear Event Scale or INES. Such was the shock and the horror of Chernobyl that perhaps with the exception of the Fukushima accident in 2011, the disaster in 1986 has largely overshadowed the many other nuclear accidents that have occurred in the seventy plus years mankind has harnessed the atom to expand his dominion over this planet. Here, we are going to look at just five incidents that have had political, scientific, military and life-affecting consequences.Episode narrated by Top5sMusic by CO.AG________Our episodes deal with serious and often distressing cases involving serial killers.

Ten years ago, nature surpassed the most advanced human technologies in one of the most developed countries. At that time, the news of a nuclear accident in Japan shook the world. The tsunami caused by a strong earthquake, which broke into the Fukushima nuclear power plant, damaged the cooling system and was followed by explosions, melting in reactors and a huge release of radiation into water and the atmosphere. Our colleague Ina Strazdiņa talked to Yoshinori Fukushima, Deputy Editor of the newspaper "Mainichi Shimbun".

There are over 400,000 caskets in Arlington National Cemetery, but only one is lined with lead, sealed under several feet of concrete and placed in a metal vault just to prevent it from killing you. In this episode we'll describe the worst groin injury in the recorded history of medical science. You'll learn how to autopsy a corpse from across a room, and you're also going to hear Kool-Aid Man and Silkwood Shower both used as verbs. We hope you enjoy our episode on the world's first peace time nuclear accident and the only fatal nuclear reactor accident in U.S. history.

Dr. Geraldine Thomas is the director of the Chernobyl tissue bank and a Chair in Molecular Pathology at the Faculty of Medicine of Imperial College London. Surprisingly her research on the health impacts of the Chernbyl accident led her towards a pro-nuclear position due to the technologies clear benefits of slowing climate change and saving lives by producing no air pollution. Dr. Thomas shares that contrary to popular belief there is a scientific consensus that the Chernobyl accident has resulted in the deaths of less than 55 people as a result of radiation. This is based on the work of the UN scientific committee on the effects of atomic radiation (UNSCEAR) and the Chernobyl Forum that involved 8 major UN agencies and the participation of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Alternative reports quoting death tolls orders of magnitude higher are methodologically flawed and were sponsored by the European Green party and NGO's like Greenpeace who had an ideological objective and cherry picked evidence to match their hypotheses. For more information from Dr. Thomas see below https://www.chernobyltissuebank.com/useful-podcasts-and-videos.htm

During and directly after World War II, scientists worked on secret nuclear projects across the United States as part of the Manhattan Project. Dr. Louis Slotin and Harry Daghlian were two such nuclear scientists working at Los Alamos National Laboratory on atomic experiments. Both of them would suffer terrifying radioactive accidents while using the same core of plutonium that would earn a notorious nickname: The Demon Core. Louis Slotin would later be fictionalized in the 1989 movie "Fat Man and Little Boy" as the character Michael Merriman, played by John Cusack.

A nuclear and radiation accident is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as "an event that has led to significant consequences to people, the environment or the facility." Examples include lethal effects to individuals, radioactive isotope to the environment, or reactor core melt." The prime example of a "major nuclear accident" is one in which a reactor core is damaged and significant amounts of radioactive isotopes are released, such as in the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The impact of nuclear accidents has been a topic of debate since the first nuclear reactors were constructed in 1954, and has been a key factor in public concern about nuclear facilities. Technical measures to reduce the risk of accidents or to minimize the amount of radioactivity released to the environment have been adopted, however human error remains, and "there have been many accidents with varying impacts as well near misses and incidents". As of 2014, there have been more than 100 serious nuclear accidents and incidents from the use of nuclear power. Fifty-seven accidents have occurred since the Chernobyl disaster, and about 60% of all nuclear-related accidents have occurred in the USA. Serious nuclear power plant accidents include the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (2011), Chernobyl disaster (1986), Three Mile Island accident (1979), and the SL-1 accident (1961). Nuclear power accidents can involve loss of life and large monetary costs for remediation work. Nuclear-powered submarine accidents include the K-19 (1961), K-11 (1965), K-27 (1968), K-140 (1968), K-429 (1970), K-222 (1980), and K-431 (1985). Serious radiation incidents/accidents include the Kyshtym disaster, Windscale fire, radiotherapy accident in Costa Rica,[15] radiotherapy accident in Zaragoza, radiation accident in Morocco, Goiania accident,[18] radiation accident in Mexico City, radiotherapy unit accident in Thailand, and the Mayapuri radiological accident in India.

In September of 1987, two waste pickers in the Brazilian town of Goiania broke into a disused medical clinic and stole a radiotherapy machine, triggering the biggest ever radioactive accident outside a nuclear facility.Hundreds of people were contaminated and four people died. Thomas Pappon spoke to one of the victims and the physicist who was the first to assess the scale of the accident.

The nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986 was not just a catastrophic event in terms of its effect upon the environment and the health of those who lived nearby. Some claim that the media coverage of the disaster, and particularly that by Radio Liberty, contributed to the introduction of radical reforms within the Soviet Union that changed it forever – and perhaps even hastened its eventual downfall. In this episode, we will assess those claims and show how important Radio Liberty’s place within the Soviet media consumer’s life had become by the Gorbachev era.

This episode may be unsuitable for some listeners. In the latest episode of Blood on the Rocks, I'm joined by Laurence Scarrott and we talk about the Japan's 1999 Tokaimura nuclear accident and the fate of Hisashi Ouchi.

While the nation was focused on the firing of FBI Director James Comey, a few other major news items were swept under the rug.  One of those was a mishap at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, a legacy of the Manhattan Project during World War II. Today we will talk with Paul Carroll, program officer of the Ploughshares Fund, a foundation concerned with ending the threats posed by nuclear weapons.  I ran across an article about the recent Hanford accident in which Paul was quoted, and thought he would be a perfect guest for us today.  Aside from the looming threat of a new nuclear arms race, the legacy of nearly 80 years of nuclear technology poses its own challenges.

There are a variety of opportunities in the Phoenix Real Estate Market for both buyers and sellers. If you're a prospective buyer click here for a full home search, or if you're considering placing your home on the market, get a free home value report, right here.Most Arizonans aren't likely to purchase flood insurance, even after the recent torrential downpours rendered many homes and streets completely flooded and unnaccessible. Although it's not likely to happen again anytime soon, a lot of homeowner's already learned the hard way that flood insurance is not covered in your standard policy.This got us thinking: What other kinds of disasters, that you have no control over, are not covered in standard policies. We compiled a list of 6 different potential hazards that aren't covered by traditional policies, but could lose you a lot of money if they aren't covered.1. MoldMold may be covered in some policies on a limited basis, but it is probably not fully covered. Talk to your agent about what kind of mold coverage you have. 2. Sewer BackupThis is important, as for a small extra fee of $40 or $50, you can add this to your current policy to be protected against a sewer emergency3. SinkholesWhile sinkholes aren't common in AZ, it is required to have a standard sinkhole policy in Florida, where they are much more common.4. TermitesWith termites in Arizona, it's not a matter of if it happens to you, it's a matter of when. Most homeowner policies partially cover termite damage, but may not cover you in all termite related damages. It would be a good idea to check with your insurance agent to make sure you are covered for all types of termite damage.5. Nuclear AccidentsNuclear accidents aren't common occurrences, but if your insurance doesn't cover it, you could be in trouble. There is a plant nearby in the Valley.6. Acts of TerrorismA lot of issues with this kind of coverage came about after the Boston Marathon bombing. If you live in an apartment or condo you may have partial coverage, but you aren't fully covered if an act of terrorism destroys your home.These are all things that you want to talk to your insurance agent about, no matter how minisucle or silly they may seem. Flood insurance in Arizona may have seemed like a bad idea until a few weeks ago. Now we have clients that are spending thousands upon thousands of dollars out of their own pocket, just to restore their homes to normal. If you know anybody in Phoenix that is buying or selling real estate in the next 90 days, please give us a call. We'd be glad to help out!Teaser: Up until a few weeks ago, you probably would have though somebody with flood insurance in Arizona was crazy. Well, who's laughing now? There are actually a lot of things you have no control over that are not covered in your standard homeowner's insurance policy. To see some of the other disasters that you probably aren't covered for, check out our latest video!

A new study at the Indian Point Nuclear Plant 25 miles north of New York found that the level of radioactive tritium in groundwater is 740 times higher than the legal limit.  New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says it's clear the plant cannot be operated safely any longer. Also: American killed in Israel by knife-wielding Palestinian; GOP elites hold secret meeting to stop Donald Trump; and Google secretly building a giant radio transmitter in the New Mexico desert.

Engineers at the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant are struggling to contain radioactive water underneath the plant, and we're just beginning to realize that officials in Japan and the US knew more about this four years ago than they let on. Also: Political correctness kills; Jews for Jesus upset with the Vatican; and a husband and father of seven leaves his family to live as a six-year-old girl.

It's nearly a year (11 March 2011) since Japan was struck by a huge earthquake and Tsunami. Clouds of radioactive fall out from damaged nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power station spread across heavily populated areas - many kilometres from the plant. The government and power company TEPCO have been heavily criticised for not telling the local population soon enough about what was going on - in many cases people evacuated to areas with higher radiation levels than those they fled. As a result, deep mistrust developed towards government or TEPCO pronouncements on the nuclear incident. In this special one hour edition of Discovery Mariko Oi, visits the Fukushima prefecture to find out what has happened since. She meets scientists working to piece together an accurate picture of the effects of the radioactive fall out, both on the environment and human health. She hears from local community grassroots organisations, many people living in fear of radiation, they argue for a mass clean up operation to reduce radiation levels to zero and further evacuations, especially of children. Mariko examines the current decontamination efforts, which involve removing and disposing of huge quantities of soil and concrete contaminated with caesium 137 – a radioactive isotope which can persist in the environment for 30 years or more. The programme questions whether attempting to remove such contamination is really effective - or even necessary, and contrasts the fears of radiation with the scientific reality.(Image: A journalist watching stricken Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant at Okuma town in Fukushima prefecture.

Five months after the nuclear disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiich power plant, the crisis has all but slipped off the front pages. But the crisis continues. Nature reporter, Geoff Brumfiel gives us status update.

On March 11, 2011, the tsunami following the 9.0 magnitude earthquake triggered a nuclear crisis in Fukushima, Japan. James Cox, M.D., professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, is an expert in radiation effects and shares his thoughts.

In 1957 a nuclear reactor in the north of England caught fire. When things started to go wrong at the Windscale nuclear plant, workers rushed in to help. Witness hears from two men who helped bring things under control during Britain's worst nuclear accident.

Several weeks following our initial interview with Matthew Dons following the Earthquake-Tsumani and subsequent Nuclear Accident in Japan; we're back again to do an update. Together we discuss the Japanese media, food supply, the rescue-emergency workers, and the behavior of the nuclear industry since this disaster.

In September 1999 there was a nuclear accident at Tokaimura in Japan. Workers mixing nuclear fuel had managed to start a nuclear reaction by mistake. For several days radiation leaked into the surrounding area.

In January 1966, two American military planes crashed over the remote Spanish village of Palomares. One of them was carrying four nuclear weapons. Captain Joe Ramirez was one of the first US servicemen on the scene. He took part in the desperate search for the missing bombs.
