This Week’s Featured Interview:
- Scott Portzline, Cyber-Security advisor to Three Mile Island Alert, sorts through the verbiage and posturing around Exelon’s announcement that they’ll be shutting down the Three Mile Island in 2019. Is it a promise or a threat to extract funds from Pennsylvania to keep on running? Plus Scott updates us on Eric Epstein, TMI Alert’s esteemed and feared (by the nuclear industry) chair.
- Just for giggles, a compilation of outtakes from Nuclear Hotseat over the past year. Prepared for the 6th anniversary show (#312) but bumped to today’s 4th of July festivities.
