Introduction

This week on Nuclear Hot Seat we consider manipulations around the White Mesa mine in Utah. The permitted processing of uranium ore is being expanded to make it an international destination for radioactive waste from as far away as Japan. We talk with Sarah Fields, program director of uranium watch and Yolanda Badbeck, a member of the Yute Mountain Yute tribe. And Linda Pence Gunter tells us about outstanding nuclear bone headiness that no candidates have bothered to mention during midterm elections.
