Episode #558 - Into Eternity (Understanding The Ongoing Nuclear Wars)

⇨

⌚ Sat 24 July 2010  ☻Brian Haw, Chris Busby, Jeff Donn, Into Eternity

Download Hour1 Download Hour2A somewhat more reflective and moody show this week. We start with a few words from the recently departed Brian Haw, whose presence outside UK Parliament will be sorely missed. Then Chris Busby speaks on the covered up dangers of radiation, and we hear from Jeff Donn about the reality of risks and radiation releases in US nuclear power stations. Our main feature, in hour 2, is a radio adaptation of Into Eternity, a film about the Finnish efforts to build a long term shelter for their nuclear waste.

The start this week's show with an interview (well, more of a rant really) from Brian Haw, who died earlier this month. His enduring presence outside in London's parliament square for almost a decade was a continuing embarrassment to the warmongers opposite. In this recording, made at a protest by Tony Gosling, he vents his emotion and the pain he feels for the suffering of the children in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his frustration about the the UK public and the murderous foreign policy they support by their apathy. He repeatedly warns of the dangers of depleted uranium weapons.

Then we hear an interview with from blackballed researcher into the health risks of radiation, Chris Busby. He speaks on depleted uranium, as one example of how other interests trump safety concerns. By his estimation, about 65 million extra cases of cancer have resulted from nuclear pollution from 1952-1994. He also mentions that the academic establishment has never disputed the accuracy of his research, but merely attempted to ignore and suppress its dissemination.

Our main feature is a radio adaptation of Into Eternity, a film about the hazards of nuclear waste disposal, which centres on Oonkaloo, an underground Finnish nuclear waste repository, which must last for 100,000 years. This film asks a number of very thought provoking questions. The soundtrack is very sombre and some parts are purely visual, so to highlight the gravity suitable to the enormity of that mission I inserted a few soundbyte length commercials from the nuclear industry.
Thanks to Tony Gosling for the recording of Brian Haw. Thanks to John Barkhausen for the Chris Busby interview. Thanks to Democracy Now! for the Jeff Donn interview. Thanks to chazk for the Into Eternity soundtrack and a couple of the nuclear commercials.
