Arjun Makhijani, Nuclear Spent Fuel Pool Safety

Arjun Makhijani, head of a non-profit nuclear safety foundation, is interviewed by "Atomic Rod" regarding the risks of spent fuel pools. Makhijani argues that pools like those at Vermont Yankee contain more fuel than the Fukushima reactors and are vulnerable to fires if water is drained during an accident or attack. The hosts suggest Makhijani's foundation is funded to promote natural gas interests by stoking fear of nuclear energy.
