Questions About This Episode
What is #46: Is There Nuclear Waste in the Ocean (& Can We Become Super Heroes if There Is)? about?
In Episode 46 , Quinn & Brian ask: Is there nuclear waste in the ocean... and can we become superheroes if there is? Our guest is Dr. Claudia Benitez-Nelson , an Associate Dean and Distinguished Professor in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of South Carolina, where she focuses on just ONE thing–– oh, wait, no, we got that wrong. She focuses on just about EVERYTHING: biogeochemistry and geochemistry; climate change; society, policy & environment; coastal processes; water resources & hydrology; and oceanography. She is also a co-author on a paper about the impact of the accident that happened at the Fukushima nuclear power plant ( "Fukushima Daiichi–Derived Radionuclides in the Ocean: Transport, Fate, and Impacts" ). Make sure you put your learning hat on as you put in your headphones for this episode because Dr. Benitez-Nelson has some shit to teach us today. You'll come away from this episode knowing more about the pros and cons of nuclear power – and the ocean in general – than you ever did before (unless you also happen to be a Renaissance scientist). And at the very least, you'll have some fun facts to throw around when you talk about the upcoming release of Aquaman .
