Below is from our rapid response team . Yesterday, regional anti-nuclear organizations asked federal nuclear energy regulators to launch an investigation into what it claims are “newly identified flaws” in Westinghouse’s advanced reactor design, the AP1000. During a teleconference releasing a report on the subject, participants urged the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to suspend license reviews of proposed AP1000 reactors. In its news release, even the groups making these allegations provide conflicting information on its findings. In one instance, the groups cite “dozens of corrosion holes” at reactor vessels and in another says that eight holes have been documented. In all cases, there is another containment mechanism that would provide a barrier to radiation release. Below, we examine why these claims are unwarranted and why the AP1000 design certification process should continue as designated by the NRC. Myth: In the AP1000 reactor design, the gap between the shield bu...

Is there anyway I can see it form Paris ?
Thanks for your help, and congrats for this work.
Thanks for posting this - I just kind of stumbled upon this blog in a google search.
Julien- Right now the film is being entered into several film festivals and in the next year you'll hopefully be able to get a copy from Amazon.com or whereever.
Carl-My film does look at reprocessing/recycling and Fast Reactors. I interview Phillip Finck who works at Idaho National Labs - the leading facility in our country that is just now restarting the efforts to develop a Full Nuclear Fuel Cycle. (This has been shut down since the Three Mile Island Accident)
With regards to the "Indie-Filmmaker Answers Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth" title of this blog - I actually sent a copy of the movie to Mr. Gore two days ago and I'm really interested in his reaction. I do think Al Gore is doing important work in talking about efficiency and conservation, but think that you have to address the energy production side of the problem too.
Well, I guess I've said enough. Thanks for your interest.

I think nuclear power will help to solve some problems in the future.
Thanks
