Helen Caldicott, M.D., pediatrician and internationally recognized author and lecturer, hosts a weekly, one-hour radio program titled If You Love This Planet. Produced by Jasmin WIlliams and Scott Powell. Edited by Jasmin Williams.
This week, Dr. Helen Caldicott talks with environmental lawyer Diane Curran who is based in Washington, DC. Since 1981, Curran has represented citizen groups, state and local governments, and individuals in a wide range of licensing and enforcement cases relating to nuclear power plants, factories, and waste storage and disposal sites. A nationally recognized expert in the field of nuclear safety and security regulation, Curran has litigated the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, and other public safety and environmental protection laws before the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and in the federal courts. Current and former clients include the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace, who won a ground-breaking U.S. Court of Appeals decision requiring Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to consider the environmental impacts of intentional attacks on a proposed spent fuel storage facility.
