Walt Rubel reviewed the week's top news stories plus he reported on what happened during the most recent county commission and city council meetings. He also talked with Dr. Joseph Shonka, a senior health physicist and nuclear engineer with over 40 years of experience. He is an expert on the Trinity Site and the after-effects of the radiation from the nuclear testing in the 1940s.
