Show of the week: Frontline: Nuclear Aftershocks
Correspondent Miles O’Brien examines the impact of Fukushima on nuclear programs around the world.
The effects of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster last March are still being felt, and not only in Japan: Germany, for example, has decided to abandon nuclear-energy development altogether. But should the U.S. follow suit? Frontline correspondent Miles O’Brien examines the impact of Fukushima on nuclear programs around the world, with particular focus on the battle over the potential relicensing of New York’s aging Indian Point nuclear plant, which sits 38 miles from Manhattan and supplies a large share of the city’s electricity. Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 10 p.m., PBS; check local listings
