Over a quarter million metric tons of undisposed radioactive wastes, sea floor littered with leaking containers, no solutions in sight. The government? Build more reactors. Pay for them, too.
You know the only reason why the government owned up to Hanford was the increased rates of thyroid cancer in kids my age downwind from the site (eastern WA, ID, western MT). I met a lot of people my age who had a scar on their neck from having their thyroid removed when they were 11 or 12; I stopped asking about after the first couple because by then when I saw it I knew they were a "downwinder."
There were dozens if not hundreds of "accidental" releases of radioactive gasses from the Hanford breeder reactors while the place was operational; the government covered them all up until the effects became too great to ignore.
I'm presently posting this link on Facebook because the site is polluted with nuclear energy ads. And people seem largely clueless about it...I know I have one small voice on this topic, but I'm raising it.
Because Gato Malo had a conniption fit about Germany shutting down nuclear power plants, and because nobody reads what I write. For the most part. Including the damn cat.

Why the re-upload?
Also, I’m gathering that I need to write shorter pieces. So I cut it down a bit
