Biologist Mary Olson's life's mission is to bring to light to the disproportionate impact of radiation on girls and women. Through her work as a staff biologist and policy analyst at Nuclear Information and Resource Service, Olson has spent decades working for greater health and greater protection for people in communities impacted by nuclear activities. After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, Olson decided to pursue questions about greater harm to girls and women from ionizing exposures. Mary is now the founder of Gender + Radiation Impact Project, their mission is to catalyze better choices for preventing unintended exposure to low level ionizing radiation and an overall reduction in harm – for everyone, but especially little girls who are most impacted by radiation exposure. Ionizing radiation as “radiation with enough energy so that during an interaction with an atom, it can remove tightly bound electrons from the orbit of an atom, causing the atom to become charged or ionized.” Ionizing radiation can be found in many places in our modern world, including residue and waste from the nuclear industry, both electric power and weapon production, medical procedures like x-rays and CT scans, and even air travel. For every two men who develop cancer through exposure to ionizing radiation, three women will get the disease. With Mary we talk about how radiation impacts girls and women, the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, the 75th anniversary of Hiroshima Nagasaki which led her to this work, impacts of her research, and what she hopes to see for girls and women concerning radiation for the future.

Radioactive waste generated by U.S. nuclear reactors stands at over 80,000 TONS of the stuff – with nowhere safe to store it long-term. The nuclear industry is pushing hard for an ill-advised so-called “interim” storage site in either New Mexico or West Texas – or both. Recent hearings held by the House and Senate barely allowed the public to be heard, and more hearings are on their way. But what does it all mean to the people most immediately affected?Nuclear Hotseat’s Libbe HaLevy talks with four genuine experts on various aspects of the radioactive waste problem: Kevin Kamps, Nuclear Waste Specialist for Beyond Nuclear, gives the horrifying overview. Diane D’Arrigo, Radioactive Waste Project Director for Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS), goes into the legal issues and current manipulations being attempted by the nuclear industry. Leona Morgan, Nuclear Issues Study Group in Albuquerque, New Mexico, reveals what it’s like on-the-ground, protesting and working to raise public awareness. Karen Hadden, SEED (Sustainable Energy and Economic Development) Coalition, reports on the West Texas proposed site and how the state government is responding to industry pressure… and public outrage. www,nuclearhotseat.comPlease like, share and subscribe.Also follow Lonnie Clark on YouTube: nutzforart

Kevin Kamps joins us from New Mexico opposing The Holtec centralized interim storage facility CISF - A parking lot for spent fuel. Kevin Kamps has served as Radioactive Waste Specialist at Beyond Nuclear since 2007. Before that, he served in the same role for Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) since 1999. Kevin has also served as a board member of Don't Waste Michigan, representing his home town Kalamazoo chapter, since 1993. Likewise, he has served on the Nuclear-Free/Green Energy Great Lakes Task Force for more than two decades.

INTERVIEW: Leona Morgan of Dine No Nukes explains the massive Church Rock radioactive waste spill of 1979 that released more radiation than Three Mile Island, then covers current issues on Native lands and actions being taken internationally by indigenous people re: nuclear issues. Diane D'Arrigo of Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) interprets the petitions before the NRC to change standards for radiation exposure from Linear No Threshold (all radiation exposure is dangerous) to the false science of hormesis (radiation is GOOD for you!) - a dangerous reversal in safety standards. Learn what you can do to respond to the NRC. SOCIAL MEDIA SUPERTIPS FOR ACTIVISTS with Dave Parrish covers SEO and how you can get some! PLUS: Lots more.

Since the Main Stream Media (AKA the Major News Outlets) have stopped covering the ONGOING GLOBAL DEISASTER that is the FUKUSHIMA DAI'ICHI Nuclear Meltdown and its every expanding impact. Scientists not paid for Coverup and Silence have continued to investigate and publish the ongoing investigation of the GLOBAL IMPACT of Japanese out of control Nuclear Disaster.  Leaks, crumbling storage pools, the tons of radioactive water leaking into the Pacific Currents. The reactor vessels were breached early on.  When radioactive tuna and kelp is found on Americas West Coast. Our governments did not lose a beat, steps were taken, monitoring was stopped. Just this past week, permitted exposure to radioactivity was allowed to rise. And some say, the government doesn't care. This week PNN will play selected speeches of Nuclear Scientists from the Caldicott Symposium on Fukushima and Chernobyl. Scientists from across the planet, who have studied the impact of long term exposure to radioactivity. A MUST HEAR SHOW.   Dr. Lynn Ringenberg a Tampa Pediatrician from the Physicians for Social Reponsibility.  Kevin Kamps a Nuclear Waste Specialist for the Washington, D. C. based Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) will discuss Nuclear History. Cindy Folker Radiation and Health Specialist, with Beyond Nuclear will speak on the effects of long term Radioactive Exposure. Mary Olsen of Nuclear Information and Resource Service will discuss GENDER VARIATIONS of the impact of RADIATION on Women and Children. Wladimir Worelecki Geneticist on radiations impact on Human Genetics.  -  7pm April 21st
