The Wire

Dr Helen Caldicott is a doctor who has devoted her life to alerting people to the dangers of nuclear power. She was named by the US Smithsonian Institute as one of the most influential women of the 20th century. She was in Adelaide this week to speak at a suburban forum on the energy crisis. She says there are very obvious reasons why nuclear power fails to pass the clean green test, but in Australia she is unable to get her message across any more.
