Video: “Dr. Frank von Hippel discusses nuclear fuel reprocessing with Ben Moore of the Coastal Conservation League” (South Carolina)

On May 29, Dr. Frank von Hippel of Princeton University gave two talks on reprocessing (Global Nuclear Energy Partnership) at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. His evening talk to around 100 people kicked off a national nuclear waste summit that activists around the US attended.

After his afternoon presentation, Dr. von Hippel was interviewed by Ben Moore and Brian Barrie of the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League (SCCCL; http://coastalconservationleague.org ) and that 7-minute interview can be found on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trgFPZo2624

In particular, Dr. von Hippel discusses impacts to South Carolina if a reprocessing program goes forward and options in spent fuel management.

Thanks to Dr. von Hippel for coming to South Carolina and to CCL for conducting the interview and for interest in the detrimental environmental impacts to the state of any spent fuel reprocessing program.
