The Fukushima nuclear disaster is over two years old now, and we keep hearing more and more horror stories. We’ve heard that massive numbers of fish contaminated, radioactive clouds heading our way, Tsunami debris hitting our shores is hot, etc., etc..

Dr. Wullaert has over 40 years experience in the nuclear energy world, including being principal investigator and project manager for large programs concerned with the mechanical properties/fracture toughness of reactor materials and the structural integrity of reactor components.
