Need to Know #207
Broadcast Date: Oct. 21, 2011
This spring, German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced that her country would be the first in the world to completely abandon nuclear power. This radical policy change was motivated in part by the disaster at Fukushima, but it also has roots in the work of another German woman, Ursula Sladek.
