Beyond Nuclear on Thom Hartman's "The Big Picture" re: Chinese proliferation concerns

Thom Hartmann, host of "The Big Picture," had Beyond Nuclear's Kevin Kamps on to discuss the Obama administration's attempt to extend approval nuclear power commerce with China, despite congressional concerns about dual-use technology that could be transferred to China's nuclear submarines, as well as "vertical" and "horizontal" proliferation concerns from reprocessing plutonium (adding to China's own nuclear arsenal, or the spread of nuclear weaponry to other countries or terrorist groups, respectively).

(Thom and Kevin also discussed the transformer fires at Entergy Nuclear's Indian Point nuclear power plant, and consequent oil spill into the Hudson River upstream from New York City.)
