chernobyl happen to be in math -- moscow during the chernobyl event and most recently fukushima which take it basically prompted the german government to check out nuclear energy. so you have these aspects and you make a compelling case as have others about the role of nuclear, thank you. we need illumination on this issue so thank you. that nuclear is an important essential scalable source of low-carbon energy. we have these headwind on the global front including the hbo chernobyl thing. you are reaching a broad audience on booktv. how should we think about the issue of a showstopper and what you were talking about? >> another great question rob. safety is critical to all forms of energy. there's a lot of misunderstanding and i think it goes back to the invisibility of radiation and some of us remember movies like godzilla and the 50-foot woman and all these things that basically injected public consciousness view of nuclear. there is a predisposition to anxiety. he got tied up a lot with concern in the 60s about nuclear weapons generally did for this all got tangled up in every time

nuclear power should be part of the drive to words low carbon electricity it's correct that since the fukushima accident it was important for the industry to look at why that reactor those 3 reactors have by accident and to take measures in order to make sure that doesn't happen again so of course we should look at the way in which current reactors are being operated to make sure they're safe and that has already been done but there is a need because the world's energy demand is increasing and electricity in particular that we are going to need a new electricity generation and because of the need for low carbon generation and a reliable form of generation new plan needs to be part of that mix i think people now are looking at what is.

angela merkel said she would shut down the country's nuclear power plants by 2022 in the wake of the fukushima nuclear disaster in japan the idea is that renewables like wind and solar power would take up the slack but when you phase out nuclear and the wind doesn't blow the sun doesn't shine you have to replace not energy in the grid and not is meant in more coal activists who are in favor of nuclear say the energy source is suffering from a bad reputation and that the decision to phase out nuclear energy is actually counterproductive to emission goals and that the decision was made for political not scientific reasons people are misinformed about nokia and they think it's extremely risky but just the opposite is true the reason for phasing out nuclear clearly politically only science says if you want to go carbon free you have to use carbon free power sources and nuclear is the most effective carbon free policy last along with nuclear waste safety is one of the major concerns of nuclear critics the huge recent popularity of h.b.o.'s dramatize ation as the chernobyl disaster as against the sa

technically there is still sheaing after shocks in fukushima from japan from the large earthquake thated -- we talked about the nuclear power plants for a long time. so, yes but the possibility of something bigger has now been reduced to 2%. the possibility of somewhere in the 6 range is about 24%. we are getting after shocks. we are still getting after shocks. although getting farther apart. we've had 4,700 after shocks greating than one. they were about every 30 seconds to a minute for a while. i've been watching -- did i've been on usgs constantly the past couple hours. and these are now down to about every five minutes. so that's something good. but in is an interesting graphic. this is a siems gram. not a siems graph because that's on paper. this is a computer what it has been seeing in wednesday july 3rd's hour by hour transportation all the way across 1 hour, 1 hour 15 minutes. an earthquake around 3:00. but then i take to you the fourth of july. and all of a sudden it got active. and that was the big quake. that was the 6.4. then it slowed down. you can see the white in here. n

and the japanese countries, after fukushima, one thing you look at internationally, there isn't much demand for nuclear energy probably because the costs keep going up and no one knows how long it takes to build a nuclear power plant. the specialized labor necessary has basically aged out. the people who built these things in the west in the '60s and '70s aren't there and companies have a very hard time getting skilled labor. united air of emirates have a program they brought south korean companies to build four power plants. the first is nearly done but two years behind schedule because they haven't been able to train emirates to do the regulatory work and set up colleges. everywhere it's been very problematic. that isn't to say there couldn't be a revival somehow for climate change purposes but right now, it's in a very very difficult situation. why i went on at that length is i think there's an implication, our community, the people who work on nonproliferation haven't really explored yet. that is this. one of the motivations for developing countries, especially to go along with n
