April 17, 2012: Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon), appeared on MSNBC's The
Daily Rundown to discuss a recent onsite tour of what remains of the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facilities decimated by last year's earthquake
and subsequent tsunami.
Wyden, a senior member of the U.S.
Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, sent a letter to
Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki looking for ways to advance and
support clean-up and recovery efforts. Wyden's principal concern is the
relocation of spent fuel rods currently being stored in unsound
structures immediately adjacent to the ocean. He strongly urged the
Ambassador to accept international help to prevent dangerous nuclear
material from being released into the environment.
and Akio Matsumura talks about nuclear power plants, spent fuel pools, and the trouble with Reactor 4 at Fukushima.
