Wednesday’s regular segment, Beyond Nuclear, is about nuclear issues, including weapons, energy, waste, and the future of nuclear technology in the United States. Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, and Sputnik news analyst and producer Nicole Roussell, join the show.
On August 1st, Sputnik Radio's "Loud & Clear" had Beyond Nuclear's Kevin Kamps on to discuss U.S. House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Elijah Cummings' seismic report about Trump administration attempts to transfer nuclear power technology to Saudi Arabia, despite glaring risks of nuclear weapons proliferation, and U.S. laws designed to prevent that very thing.
Here is "Loud & Clear's" write up:
A new report issued on July 29th by the House Oversight committee based on 60,000 newly released internal corporate documents communications show that IP3, a private company led by retired generals and admirals, lobbied the White House to transfer U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. U.S. hypocrisy is on full display as it’s military industrial complex -- and profit driven generals and admirals -- worked towards nuclear proliferation when it comes to Saudi Arabia. Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, joins Brian and John.
Listen to the interview here -- it begins at the 86 minute 20 second mark, and continues for a half-hour, till the end of the show.
