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

⌚ Sat 2 July 2011  ☻Brian Haw, Chris Busby, Jeff Donn, Into Eternity

Download Hour1 Download Hour2We 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 the sombre and philosophical film, Into Eternity, about the Finnish efforts to build the world's first long term nuclear storage facility.

The start this week's show with an interview (well, more of a rant really) from Brian Haw, who died last month, and presence in London's parliament square for almost a decade was such an embarrassment to the warmongers opposite that they drafted special legislation in an unsuccessful bid to get rid of him. In this short 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, to John Barkhausen for the Chris Busby interview, to Democracy Now! for the Jeff Donn interview, and to chazk for the Into Eternity soundtrack and a couple of the nuclear commercials.
