- WSIP airs daily at 9am and MWF at 3pm Focusing Up with Indivisible Senior Regional Director Nina Moussavi Many Indivisibles here in Washington are saying that there is just an almost overwhelming number of things that need action right now. The legislative session is in its final days, so we’re working to push some bills across the finish line—and making sure others go down. And then, at the federal level, there are things like S1, DC statehood, ending the filibuster, and the THRIVE Act. To help us prioritize all of this, and to talk about how you can be most effective in taking action, we’re joined by Nina Moussavi, Indivisible’s senior regional organizer for Washington and California.

- Locus Focus: Airs 11am daily The Myth of Small Safe Nuclear Power Plants In 1980, Oregonians passed a ballot measure prohibiting the siting of any new nuclear power plants until there is an operating federal repository for high-level nuclear waste. The law also requires a vote before any future nuclear facility is approved. Forty years later still no federal waste repository exists nor is there a chance of one being created in the foreseeable future. But now there are companion bills in the Oregon State Senate and House that would create exemptions from both the nuclear waste and public vote provisions of the 1980 measure that would allow the construction of small nuclear reactors in Oregon. On this episode of Locus Focus, we talk with Damon Motz-Storey, Healthy Climate Program Director, with Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility about why so-called small modular nuclear reactors are just as dangerous and irresponsible as the larger reactors that Oregon law banned in 1980.
