Breaking: 1st USS Reagan Death + Voices from Japan, Komoro Homestay with Laura & Giichi Inoue.
Producer/Host Libbe HaLevy
BREAKING -- A NUCLEAR HOTSEAT EXCLUSIVE:
First death of a USS Ronald Reagan sailor hit by radiation from Fukushima Daiichi while on the humanitarian aid Operation Tomodachi. Information just released today by the legal team representing the USS Reagan sailors in their billion dollar lawsuit against TEPCO.
Military honors for the late Theodore A. Holcomb, formerly of the USS Ronald Reagan and one of the sailors represented in the billion dollar lawsuit against TEPCO.
FEATURED -- VOICES FROM JAPAN:
Laura and Giichi Inoue run Komoro Homestay, a program which sponsors Fukushima families with small children to come to the relative safety of the Komoro/Nagano region to alleviate the stress of their daily lives . They provide educational materials and the chance to speak honestly about their fears and stresses -- a rarity in Japan.
To contact Komoro Homestay, go to: https://www.facebook.com/groups/299490890226766/
For those who wish to share practical radiation-related material with Komoro Homestay, send an email to: LauraJane713@gmail.com.
NUMNUTZ OF THE WEEK:
Canadian Nuclear "Safety" Commission has the gall to produce report saying that while the rest of the world's radioactive materials may cause cancer, their s**t don't stink and their radiation won't hurt you... unless... well sometimes... maybe... but not very often... no, really (said Pinnochio as his nose grew longer...).
PLUS:
NRC needs to "duck and cover" as Sen. Barbara Boxer demands accountability and Sen. Ed Markey blows the lid off NRC reprisals against employees who stand up for safety;

Holy cow! Our sailors must have really gotten one hell of a radiation dose!
This level of negligence on the part of commanding officers and TEPCO company officials is completely unforgivable!
