Episode description

As the crisis at Japan’s crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant continues to unfold every bit of news that trickles out deepens the debate about nuclear energy. Anti-nuclear activists point to smoldering reactors and radioactive drinking water; others say the fact that the aging plant survived the earthquake and tsunami without greater damage signals its ability to withstand major disruptions. At issue is whether the expansion of nuclear power in the U.S. gets a green red or yellow light.
