Frontline on PBS at 10 Eastern 2/28/12

Frontline will be airing its second piece in recent months on nuclear energy - this time focusing on the Fukushima Daiichi accident and events on and off site at the time of the accident.

The Nuclear Energy Institute (linked on the right panel of APR) has representatives who will be watching the special and tweeting in real time. You can follow NEI tweets using @N_E_I. NEI notes the use of twitter hashtags #fukushima and #frontline.

For those who wish to have detailed reports of the accident chronology as well as assessments by recognized governmental and industrial bodies, I highly recommend use of the new page on this site which is labeled "Fukushima Daiichi Accident Reports" and which is linked from the right side of APR. Or, you can click here.

Frontline will also be tweeting using @frontlinepbs if readers would like to follow that account as well.

Frontline on PBS: "Nuclear Aftershocks."

NEI has made two posts today in response to the Frontline special (you can translate that as 'hack job' if you'd like) on nuclear energy. I would refer my readers who may have watched this special to these two posts, for starters.

NEI: Frontline, Indian Point, and emergency preparedness

NEI: Frontline, Indian Point and license renewals

Twitter updates are being made in real time by APR, by NEI, Entergy Nuclear, AREVA, and many other entities. Go to APR's Twitter page using the link in the Twitter box on this website and then find your way to NEI's tweets!

Note: APR continues to be on a reduced status as my father is seriously ill in the hospital.
