On today's Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about the recent report on the nuclear disaster in Japan. The investigation found that the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power meltdown was "profoundly a man-made disaster that could and should have been foreseen and prevented." What lessons can be taken away from this catastrophe? Join us live at 10 or send an email to feedback@Yourcallradio.org. How are people coping with impacts of radioactive contamination? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
