"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(Photo: DigitalGlobe via Getty)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Japan has barely begun responding to Friday’s earthquake and tsunami, and already the government has been forced to focus on a potential new catastrophe at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (Daiichi can be translated, by the way, as “first” or “number one”). An explosion ripped through a reactor building Monday afternoon (Tuesday morning Japan time)—the third blast since Saturday as workers struggled to deal with pressure buildups in three of the six reactor buildings at the plant. Later, a fire broke out in a fourth reactor building. The new explosion and fire were apparently responsible for a spike in radiation levels around the plant. People living within 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) of the plant complex were ordered to evacuate; those within 30 kilometers (10 miles) were told to stay indoors to avoid radiation exposure. Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan addressed the nation after Tuesday morning’s blast. “Radiation levels around the compound have risen to fairly high levels,” Kan said. “There is a danger of even higher radiation levels.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So: How bad is the Fukushima situation? And will it affect us in California? To the second question, we’ll just say: We’d like to know, too, and we’re working to find out. (Here’s someone who was working even harder: Paul Rogers of the \u003cstrong>San Jose Mercury News\u003c/strong>. See his story: \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_17614609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">So far, very low risk of West Coast contamination from Japanese nuclear accident, experts say\u003c/a>.) To the first question: Judging from the coverage it’s getting from careful, measured sources, we’re led to believe, as most of you are, that it’s pretty bad. Here’s a selection of headlines:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Washington Post:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/nuclear-crisis-deepens-as-third-reactor-loses-cooling-capacity/2011/03/14/ABk6rQV_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JAPAN STEPS CLOSER TO FULL-BLOWN NUCLEAR CATASTROPHE AFTER 3RD BLAST\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nYes, the headline is in all caps on the Post’s front page. From the story: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The new setbacks came on the heels of a difficult Monday at Fukushima Daiichi unit 2, one of six reactors at the site. Utility officials there reported that four out of five water pumps being used to flood the reactor had failed and that the other pump had briefly stopped working.

(Photo: DigitalGlobe via Getty)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Japan has barely begun responding to Friday’s earthquake and tsunami, and already the government has been forced to focus on a potential new catastrophe at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (Daiichi can be translated, by the way, as “first” or “number one”). An explosion ripped through a reactor building Monday afternoon (Tuesday morning Japan time)—the third blast since Saturday as workers struggled to deal with pressure buildups in three of the six reactor buildings at the plant. Later, a fire broke out in a fourth reactor building. The new explosion and fire were apparently responsible for a spike in radiation levels around the plant. People living within 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) of the plant complex were ordered to evacuate; those within 30 kilometers (10 miles) were told to stay indoors to avoid radiation exposure. Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan addressed the nation after Tuesday morning’s blast. “Radiation levels around the compound have risen to fairly high levels,” Kan said. “There is a danger of even higher radiation levels.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So: How bad is the Fukushima situation? And will it affect us in California? To the second question, we’ll just say: We’d like to know, too, and we’re working to find out. (Here’s someone who was working even harder: Paul Rogers of the \u003cstrong>San Jose Mercury News\u003c/strong>. See his story: \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_17614609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">So far, very low risk of West Coast contamination from Japanese nuclear accident, experts say\u003c/a>.) To the first question: Judging from the coverage it’s getting from careful, measured sources, we’re led to believe, as most of you are, that it’s pretty bad.

From the story: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The new setbacks came on the heels of a difficult Monday at Fukushima Daiichi unit 2, one of six reactors at the site. Utility officials there reported that four out of five water pumps being used to flood the reactor had failed and that the other pump had briefly stopped working. As a result, the company said, the fuel rods, normally covered by water, were completely exposed for 140 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could have grave consequences, worsening the partial meltdown that most experts think is underway.

And they apparently found plenty. In one dramatic case, the pipe had been punctured and hastily plugged with a makeshift patch. In another, the pipe had been dented, causing a small split in a nearby seam. In several cases, liquid sat pooled in the pipe, a problem that could lead to corrosion.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/pge/story/people-will-pay-pges-pipeline-problems/\">The People Will Pay for PG&E’s Pipeline Problems\u003c/a> (Mar 3, Bay Citizen)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The hearings, by the National Transportation Safety Board, revealed that the Sept. 9 explosion, which killed eight people, was caused in part by the failure of a matrix of antiquated pipes installed in the 1950s. Possible preventive actions that were discussed included replacing aging pipes; more frequent inspections; installing pipe-burrowing cameras and automatic or remote-controlled gas shutoff valves; and new leak detection systems, firefighter training and public awareness campaigns…Under California’s utility rules, customers pay for safety improvements, a tab that includes an 8.79 percent profit margin for PG&E. The safety measures already identified by the company could cost customers nearly $100 apiece in rate increases, which would be added to bills over several years if approved by the California Public Utilities Commission. Those two measures are not likely to satisfy all of the proposed new regulations, however, and final costs to customers could be much higher. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/san-bruno-fire/ci_17531799\">Gas official calls San Bruno explosion ‘an anomaly’\u003c/a> (Mar 3, San Jose Mercury News)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A gas trade association official created a stir Thursday when she described the San Bruno pipeline explosion as “an anomaly” during a National Transportation Safety Board fact-finding hearing into the rupture that killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes…Her response provoked a challenge from NTSB investigator Bob Trainor, who asked how it could be an anomaly when two incidents, the San Bruno blast on Sept. 9 and a 2007 explosion in Carmichael, Miss., have claimed 10 lives. Sames replied, “to me that is still an anomaly.” But she added that it’s one that has lessons for the gas industry.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_17534589\">PG&E replaced San Bruno pipelines in 1993, but stopped one block short of doomed section\u003c/a> (Mar 4, San Jose Mercury News)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>PG&E officials were so concerned about the risk of their natural gas transmission lines bursting during an earthquake that, in 1993 and 1994, they replaced five miles of aging underground steel pipes in San Bruno. But the utility’s construction crews ended the job less than 300 yards from Glenview Drive and Earl Avenue, the site of the deadly explosion that killed eight people last September, new documents released by the National Transportation Safety Board show…A central question remained Thursday: If PG&E geologists and engineers were concerned about damage to their gas transmission pipelines in San Bruno neighborhoods from a major quake on the San Andreas Fault, which they called “the greatest seismic hazard to our pipelines on the San Francisco Peninsula,” why did they only replace some of those lines with newer, thicker steel and leave other aging lines directly adjacent to them untouched?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Reporter Paul Rogers of the Merc provided a cogent summary of the hearings to KQED’s Kelly Wilkinson last week:\u003c/p>\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But the inspector ultimately concluded that the work “seemed to be OK.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/03/03/MNJU1I2BE9.DTL\">Watchdog criticizes PG&E spikings\u003c/a> (Mar 3, SF Chronicle)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A top gas-safety regulator for California called Pacific Gas and Electric Co.’s practice of intentionally spiking the pressure on older urban gas pipelines “a wrong-headed approach to safety” on Wednesday, and he would not dismiss the possibility that it contributed to the deadly San Bruno explosion.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/2011/03/robot-camera-reveals-pipeline-flaws-wake-san-bruno-blast\">Robot camera reveals pipeline flaws in wake of San Bruno blast\u003c/a> (Mar 3, SF Examiner)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A few weeks after gas pipeline 132 in San Bruno split open and spewed a deadly geyser of flames, PG&E sent a robot with a camera through the out-of-service pipelines around the break, searching for other potential hazards that had existed in it without their knowledge. And they apparently found plenty. In one dramatic case, the pipe had been punctured and hastily plugged with a makeshift patch. In another, the pipe had been dented, causing a small split in a nearby seam. In several cases, liquid sat pooled in the pipe, a problem that could lead to corrosion.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/pge/story/people-will-pay-pges-pipeline-problems/\">The People Will Pay for PG&E’s Pipeline Problems\u003c/a> (Mar 3, Bay Citizen)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The hearings, by the National Transportation Safety Board, revealed that the Sept. 9 explosion, which killed eight people, was caused in part by the failure of a matrix of antiquated pipes installed in the 1950s. Possible preventive actions that were discussed included replacing aging pipes; more frequent inspections; installing pipe-burrowing cameras and automatic or remote-controlled gas shutoff valves; and new leak detection systems, firefighter training and public awareness campaigns…Under California’s utility rules, customers pay for safety improvements, a tab that includes an 8.79 percent profit margin for PG&E. The safety measures already identified by the company could cost customers nearly $100 apiece in rate increases, which would be added to bills over several years if approved by the California Public Utilities Commission. Those two measures are not likely to satisfy all of the proposed new regulations, however, and final costs to customers could be much higher. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/san-bruno-fire/ci_17531799\">Gas official calls San Bruno explosion ‘an anomaly’\u003c/a> (Mar 3, San Jose Mercury News)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A gas trade association official created a stir Thursday when she described the San Bruno pipeline explosion as “an anomaly” during a National Transportation Safety Board fact-finding hearing into the rupture that killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes…Her response provoked a challenge from NTSB investigator Bob Trainor, who asked how it could be an anomaly when two incidents, the San Bruno blast on Sept. 9 and a 2007 explosion in Carmichael, Miss., have claimed 10 lives. Sames replied, “to me that is still an anomaly.” But she added that it’s one that has lessons for the gas industry.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_17534589\">PG&E replaced San Bruno pipelines in 1993, but stopped one block short of doomed section\u003c/a> (Mar 4, San Jose Mercury News)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>PG&E officials were so concerned about the risk of their natural gas transmission lines bursting during an earthquake that, in 1993 and 1994, they replaced five miles of aging underground steel pipes in San Bruno. But the utility’s construction crews ended the job less than 300 yards from Glenview Drive and Earl Avenue, the site of the deadly explosion that killed eight people last September, new documents released by the National Transportation Safety Board show…A central question remained Thursday: If PG&E geologists and engineers were concerned about damage to their gas transmission pipelines in San Bruno neighborhoods from a major quake on the San Andreas Fault, which they called “the greatest seismic hazard to our pipelines on the San Francisco Peninsula,” why did they only replace some of those lines with newer, thicker steel and leave other aging lines directly adjacent to them untouched?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Reporter Paul Rogers of the Merc provided a cogent summary of the hearings to KQED’s Kelly Wilkinson last week:\u003c/p>\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
