A Conversation with Maggie and Arnie Gundersen

From Fairewinds Energy Education
The Gundersens came to California for a speaking tour at the end of 2015 and offered to meet me in the afternoon before giving a Fukushima update at the Point Reyes Dance Palace. Both worked in the nuclear industry, Maggie in public information, Arnie as an engineer and executive. He was fired from Nuclear Energy Services in 1990.

I started by asking them a question that had troubled me for a long time – given that Arnie Gundersen is one of only a handful of whistle blowers. How early did people in the nuclear industry become aware that they were dealing with a monstrously dangerous technology?

Arnie and Maggie Gundersen are a close team in the nuclear education work they are now doing. Their work is posted on their web site Fairewinds dot org as videos and pod-casts as well as blog posts on current events, expert witness reports on nuclear safety issues, a book list, media coverage and much more.
