Hello there and welcome back to Nerdist Camp where I, Kris Grainger and my partner in Crime, Kyle to my Cartman if you will, Andi Elliott discuss all things nerdy and geeky, basically, things that make us tick and notch up the interest gauge into the red. This week’s topic is all things nuclear that have gone wrong, so let's crack out the geiger counter and hurriedly scout around the cupboard for the iodine as we look at all things that can kill you, without necessarily going boom!

We discuss nuclear accidents, safety concerns, historical incidents, military nuclear disasters, radiation exposure, whistleblowing, environmental contamination and film adaptations of true events.
