Coalition of Concerned Citizens of Southern California, Friends of the Earth in cooperation with Physicians for Social Responsibility, and the Samuel Lawrence Foundation, are honored to welcome Japan's former Prime Minister Naoto Kan to San Diego to share his perspective on nuclear safety and the future of nuclear power.  Kan was in office March, 2011, when an earthquake and tsunami triggered the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant catastrophe.  He was confronted by three reactor meltdowns and a nuclear crisis that continues today.   The panel discussion provides Southern California with an opportunity to learn lessons from the Fukushima Daiichi disaster while awaiting a decision on the restart of San Diego's crippled San Onofre nuclear reactors.  Kan will discuss his concerns about the inherent dangers posed by nuclear reactors.
Former U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chair Jaczko, has emerged as a leading critic of safety at U.S. nuclear power plants.

Peter A. Bradford is an adjunct professor at the Vermont Law School, a former U.S. NRC Commissioner, and a former utility commission chair in New York and Maine.

Arnie Gundersen, is chief engineer of the energy consulting company Fairewinds Associates and a former nuclear power industry executive. His company has developed extensive reports on Fukushima, San Onofre, and other nuclear power plants.
