Radioactive Waste 106 - Rare Birth Defects Four Times Average Around Hanford Nuclear Reservation
I have blogged recently about the subtle long-term effects of radiation exposure on human health. It can take decades for radiation damage to manifest as illness so it is very difficult to pin down the dangers of radioactive contaminants.

Nuclear Reactors 176 - The NRC and PG&E Secretly Changed the Diablo Canyon License Agreement
I have been blogging recently about misbehavior at the NRC and among U.S. nuclear power reactor operators and owners. I have also blogged about problems at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in California concerning geological fault lines. Since the time that the plant was built, new fault lines have been discovered. Now this issue has wound up in Federal court.
