The plenary session served to commemorate those who died and suffered from the accident and called for a world-wide abandonment of nuclear power as an energy source. Soviet Olympic champion Korbut and other speakers described their personal experiences and involvement with the Chernobyl assistance and anti-nuclear power movements. The Conference for a Nuclear-Free 1990s called the Chernobyl fire the worst industrial accident of the modern age. The plant is located in the Soviet Ukraine. The accident was amplified by the Soviet Union's secrecy when the accident occurred and their poor power plant designs which are not used by other countries employing nuclear power. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17737-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17737-1 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT Military and Energy Department officials testified on nuclear security.

From 1952 to 1989, the Department of Energy's Rocky Flats Plant, located just outside Denver, Colorado, manufactured plutonium triggers for nuclear warheads. In 1989, the FBI raided the plant to investigate charges that plant managers were violating federal environmental and safety laws. A grand jury later recommended that managers from DOE and Rockwell International be indicted, but the U.S. attorney handling the case, Mike Norton, instead struck a deal with Rockwell. As part of the deal, members of the grand jury were ordered not to discuss their investigation and their grand jury report was kept secret. During this panel discussion, Wes McKinley, the grand jury foreman, his attorney and co-author, Caron Balkany, and former plant employee, Jacque Brever, talked about the case and argued that the U.S. government is guilty of covering up serious crimes.
