705: Lying Weasels
Nuclear Energy Safety, Arne Gunderson vs. Rod Adams
Nuclear expert Rod Adams refutes claims made by Arne Gunderson regarding the safety of new nuclear plant designs in the UK. Adams argues that the AP-1000 design is inherently safe and lacks the flaws that led to the Chernobyl disaster. The hosts highlight Gunderson's history of "absurd statements" and contrast his media-friendly alarmism with Adams' technical expertise from his time on nuclear submarines.
