This Week’s Featured Interview:
- Dawn Chapman and Karen Nickel are two North St. Louis mothers who discovered the fact of WWII radioactive atomic weapons waste illegally buried in a neighborhood landfill. They founded the group Just Moms StL and shepherded the protests by friends and neighbors to radioactive waste in the neighborhoods, the back yards, even inside the houses where others in their community live. With this week’s monumental EPA announcement, nobody better to comment on what it all means… and where the battle for the clean-up turns next. You didn’t think it was over, did you???
- LINK to EPA site to make your comments on West Lake Landfill known during the 45-day comment period: https://www.epa.gov/mo/forms/west-lake-landfill-public-comment-period
- Atomic Homefront, the HBO documentary on the West Lake Landfill, premieres on Monday, February 12 at 5:
00pm Pacific time, and on demand as of Tuesday, February 13.
Numnutz of the Week (for Outstanding Nuclear Boneheadedness):
Henry Kissinger?!?!????? (And this one contains a moment of prescience – I SWEAR I did not know about Trump’s call for a parade when I recorded it!)
