DESCRIPTION:Just as nuclear power advocates were celebrating a “nuclear 
 renaissance” as part of the solution to global warming, the catastrophe 
 at Fukushima reminded the world of the dangers reliance on nuclear energy 
 implies. Like so many issues of the first importance, the Fukushima events 
 received a few weeks attention in the U.S. media, resulting in coverage 
 that did more to educate the public about the character of modern 
 government and corporate propaganda campaigns than about the role of 
 nuclear technology in the global economy and its impact on our lives. Mr. 
 Lichterman will examine the broader implications of the ongoing Fukushima 
 nuclear crisis, ranging from the relationships between the immense 
 organizations that deploy and sustain the world’s nuclear weapons and 
 nuclear power complexes to the ways information about their activities and 
 effects are produced and controlled. Andrew Lichterman is a lawyer and 
 activist based in the San Francisco Bay area. As a lawyer, he has 
 represented peace and environmental activists in a variety of settings, and 
 also taught law at alternative law schools for many years. In recent years 
 his work has focused on the purposes and impacts of U.S. nuclear and other 
 strategic weapons programs, including their effect on global disarmament 
 efforts, and on the relationship between nuclear technologies, militarism, 
 and the global economy. He is a member of the Global Council of the 
 Abolition 2000 Global Network to Eliminate Nuclear Weapons and a member of 
 the boards of the Oakland, California based Western States Legal Foundation 
 and of the Los Alamos Study Group, an Albuquerque, New Mexico based 
 disarmament organization.\n
