Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Rebecca Roberts
Some people see the cooling towers of a nuclear power plant and think “Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Never Again.” Others see the towers as an opportunity to eliminate dependence on foreign oil and provide a ‘green’ alternative to coal and natural gas. With a permit to build a new nuclear reactor in Maryland under consideration, we look at the pros and cons of nuclear energy, including the state of the technology today.
Guests
- David Whitford Editor-at-large, Fortune magazine
- Tony Pietrangelo Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, Nuclear Energy Institute
- Bill Borchardt Director, Office of New Reactor Licensing, Nuclear Regulatory Commission
- Dave Lochbaum Director, Nuclear Safety Project, Union of Concerned Scientists
