The nuclear disaster at Fukushima was a game changer. Or should have been. It is an event with implications for the present generation of reactors, especially those of the same design type, like the four we have in Illinois. And it is an event with consequence for nuclear power and nuclear safety in the future, here and abroad.
Updates about the current situation at Fukushima, and the implications for Illinois nuclear reactors will be given by David Kraft, Director of the Chicago-based Nuclear Energy Information Service, a nuclear power watchdog organization.
