[ RadSafe ] David Suzuki on Fukushima

[Jaro Franta]

Hi Roger,

David Suzuki is, regrettably, a "Canadian icon" of sorts.

He can be seen regularly on the CBC TV program Nature of Things:

311.html

There is also the David Suzuki Foundation:

However, in recent years there have been more & more critics.....

This looks like the latest spin on the Arnold Gundersen version of events
that he has been peddling regarding spent Fuel Pool for Reactor
#4 - who is David Suzuki? - someone of some importance or just another
scientifically ignorant fool?
