Isn't it Neptunium? the waste product?

Amazing!!! Thirty years later and America is still using above ground storage behind chain-linked fences. Once again, those darn socialist Euro countries are beating us. LOL

To bad we wasted billions on Yuca Mt.. Now if only they would give it back to the Shoshone people all would be forgiven IMO.

@b1aflatoxin Yea, its amazing how big of a Boondoggle Yuca is.

The irony of radioactive particles is it can give you cancer and it can also kill cancer.

1980 ? it looks like late 1960s film quality and prodcution.

What's crazy is most people don't know about the enormity of the "Hanford site"

LOVE that music

[dawkzfunk]

@cmowforth You'll love "Boards of canada" then. Their music is heavily based on these documental tunes :)

[tommmmmmmmx]

this is not posible on earth sorry

Amazing what people where thinking in 1980 to rid ourselfs of waste.But the real question is what do you do with the waste we have now it's got to go somewhere?????

[badnewswade]

@rog197236 Either shoot it into the sun or bury it somewhere and forget all about it.

The Russians have developed a special anti radiation drug in case there are accidents - it's called "vodka".

[rog197236]

Ya know shooting it into the sun sounds like a good idea providing NASA can launch a rocket safely with it being loaded with waste...something to think about?...Yes the russians do love Vodka and being commies...lol

[1991Timmo]

@badnewswade thats a good idea, shoot it in2 the sun so that the sun can not only give off heat and light but radioactive waves as well and poisen the whole universe, thats a great fucking idea u braindead redneck

[giantsean]

@1991Timmo Umm... the sun already emits radioactive particles. Though it IS a stupid idea.

[1991Timmo]

@giantsean well we dont want anymore radioactive particles than what the sun already gives out do we? but yes thanx for pointing that out

[tehmadcap]

@1991Timmo You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. The only problem is getting it to the sun, if we could do that safely the sun would be the perfect candidate for high level waste disposal. However, the risk of the transport rocket exploding in the atmosphere and showering the planet with radioactive waste is far too great. This is why it is out of question and will never happen. It's also the reason we can't power rockets with nuclear energy.

[1991Timmo]

@tehmadcap well just as well it will never happen mr rocket scientist

[Hodgeisdaman]

@tehmadcap but then all the enviromentalist would make a group posed to saving the sun or some crap

[tehmadcap]

@Hodgeisdaman The funny part is the sun is a constant nuclear reaction.
