In this episode Ed and Kara dive into the electrifying world of nuclear powerplants. Love'em or hate'em, nuclear powerplants are a fact of life and they generate reliable electricity for decades... until something goes wrong. This episode will look at how these masterpieces of human engineering can literally blow up and what happens to the environment and the people living nearby when thousands of pounds of radio active fallout blankets everything. Dumpster fires don't get much more dramatic than nuclear powerplants failing. 

What self respecting podcast about nuclear powerplants would be complete if we don't cover Chernobyl, but we'll also look at Three Mile Island and Fukushima.
