Is Nuclear Energy Safe?
With all the stuff going on with Japan and their nuclear plants in potential meltdown mode and now a plume of radioactive gas heading toward the west coast, how are we expected to think that nuclear energy is safe?
Adam discusses how nuclear energy works and safety precautions that nuclear technicians use. We talk about radiation poisoning and how it affects people and plants, iodine pills, Chernobyl and now Japan and nuclear disasters as a whole.
We even talk about Jimmy Carter! Was he a nuclear physicist or a peanut farmer?
