They should do the honorable thing and admit fault and clean that mess up.

UPDATED) Study shows Fukushima nuclear pollution becoming more concentrated THis is also why the idea to store nuclear waste in barrels under a mountain in America was abolished. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43672866 They previously thought they could build metal barrels that could withstand the waste for many years.. it turns out steel is no match at all for nuclear waste, over extended periods of time. What they need is Gold plated stainless steel, inside a lead casing with 2 inch thick bullet proof glass on the final layer. Oh no they did do this all over the pacific. The Farallon Islands were used to dump drums of nuclear waste decades ago, all over the SF Bay is leaking waste in Hunters point,land on the south side of the city, now a Superfund site, the cancer rates are horrendous. Also the Santa Barbara channel is covered with underground giant containers of waste from Vandenburg Air Force Base I believe. I was shown a map years ago by a former contractor and was amazed that even in the old days they would dump into the sea so carelessly. My now deceased uncle worked in the industry for decades he had tales of carelessness which blew my mind, he died a horrible cancer death as did all his brothers and several of my family members who lived in proximity to this waste, and far before their time. There is no telling where it all is or how much of the cancer worldwide is attributable, but to stay silent and stick our heads in the snad just isn'e going to work anymore. Speak out, the following generations are the ones left ulyimately holding the bag...... |

Quoting: Goofy for God At news conference, the head of Japan's nuclear regulation authority Shunichi Tanaka appeared to give credence to Mr Schneider's concerns, saying that he feared there would be further leaks. ``We should assume that what has happened once could happen again, and prepare for more. We are in a situation where there is no time to waste," he told reporters.
