The growing dangers and systemic health and safety problems at nuclear plants in the US, Japan and around the world are a threat to the workers and communities. On March 9, 2012 there will be a national conference in San Francisco to focus on the issue of health and safety at nuclear plants and the systemic retaliation against nuclear plant whistleblowers. If the 1% stops whistleblowers from reporting on the dangers of nuclear plants, it’s only a matter of time till we’ll be having Fukushima in California.
It will also look at the failure of government agencies to do proper oversight of the retaliation of whistleblowers at these nuclear plants and how this failure to protect these health and safety whistleblowers needs to be addressed. It will also look at how the communities have been affected including Fukushima and California where San Onofre and Diablo Canyon nuclear plants continue to threaten the environment and nuclear plant workers.
Speakers will include nuclear plant whistleblowers, health and safety experts and advocates and others who are seeking justice, transparency and accountability. The lawyer for the

Kudos to the brave japs re entering the flcaiity, THUMBS DOWN to whoever made the call to dump cesium rich waters into the ocean. The way i see it, the land can recover faster than big oh blue. The currents would take all that radiation to spread across the world.. killing millions of marine life (sad face) Im Curious if the power plant is disabled, why not do the impossible by removing the fuel rods its more than irrationally plaguing the sea..i get that the rods would overheat if not treated. Has anyone tried freezing em? like spray liquid nitrogen? i hope the radiation mutates a Godzilla-like creature to finish off the job in japan.. nah but if you believe in theorys like HAARP was behind, wouldnt the shock of 10,000 lightings fry up the wildlife create proof it wasnt natural? Anyways Rip to those who died and will die from the pollution PROVING Nuclear isnt the energy of the future. unless theres a less-harmful way to use it proficiently
