Summary: The first guest, documentary producer Robbie Leppzer, discusses his latest work, Power Struggle.  It's an account of the grassroots campaign to shut down the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant,  and the problems that remain after the plant's closure. Next, nuclear-power critics Arnie and  Maggie Gunderson return to Project Censored to explain some of the continuing hazards facing  Fukushima, Japan, years after the meltdown there.
