NUCLEAR WASTE: OUT OF CONTROL...ON PURPOSE - Diane D'Ariggo

Debunking the 'Nuclear Renaissance' - Interview # 3:
Diane D'Riggo, Radioactive Waste Project Director for the Washington, D.C. based Nuclear Information Resource service ( http://www.nirs.org/ ), talks about the mounting risks from radioactive waste and the many reasons that the claim that a new generation of nuclear power plants is a necessary response to global climate change is a dangerous fallacy. She summarizes the findings in a NIRS report she recently co-authored with Mary Olson, OUT OF CONTROL...ON PURPOSE: DOE's Dispersal of Radioactive Waste Into Landfills and Consumer Products.

You think that if I worked or the Nuclear Industry I would waste one SECOND on the ignorant losers here?!

I'm so tired of your groups acting as though they have a patent on Progressive thinking and anyone who disagrees "must be one of 'them'".

I'm a liberal Democrat who happily voted for Barack Obama because I believe him to be more intelligent than those who came before and who might FINALLY break this ludicrous deadlock over what is the most import source of energy in play today, Nuclear.

[scrumptiousvittles]

what is disturbing is not the fact that high level waste could be released into the environment. it doesn't seem likely that that will happen within the next few millenia. what is disturbing is that the average individual is under the control of a technology that only a relative few completely understand and control. the man who designs the deep repository is deciding my future for me, and I am nearly powerless to do anything about it. my natural place on earth has been taken out of my hands.

@cmonconan Everything is ultimately paid for "with LIFE" as you like to scream. The world as you know it -- regardless of where you happen to live -- exists because at some point someone said it was worth a human life (even if it was theirs) for it to exists. Countries/Nations/Factions -- use whatever words you like young man/woman, it all equals the same thing in the end.

[cmonconan]

@nucflashevent Yes but not with human LIFE.

[nucflashevent]

@cmonconan Capital Letters and a hateful disposition do not change the fact that "free energy" doesn't exist. Everything has to be paid for at some point.

@simeric2 Watch "into eternity" just watch. not waste? come again? So what you gonna do with that WASTE?

Ammunition? bomb fuel? what? energy? i rather harnass something that is not deadly, like water wind and magma, the fools still playing with Rads are retarded, not trying to create a CLEAN energy.

And clean energy is around since tesla.

Nuke energy is for fools with tools, free energy is for real scientist. (check nikola tesla, free wireless energy pulled out of THIN AIR!)

[cmonconan]

@nucflashevent Think a little further than your own miserable existence, there are many way to generate electricity FOR FREE, ever heard of harnassing the motion of the ocean? Its basicly the same as a dynamo on a bicycle. (probably to easy to monopolize)

Nuclear is a strange way to make more money nothing else.

The sincerity, scripting and delivery of this interview is very effective.

To someone not familiar enough with nuclear physics to realise she doesn't have even a rudimentary understanding of what she's talking about, I bet she's very convincing.

[simeric2]

Is this intended to be comedy? Converting spent nuclear fuel into toys for children? realize this fact: All the spent nuclear fuel the US has ever produced fits on a standard football field 5 yards deep, and its not waste! Essentially all of it is reusable and recyclable as new nuclear fuel. Notice how she never answers the question of how much so called waste exists? Get educated on the truth about the safety and sense of nuclear power. Nuclear is the friend of environmentalism not the enemy!

You're clearly dumb. 

[yaduke]

@FancyPantsElitist You're just dumb.

I hope someday that you pro nuclear retards have to deal with fallout. Keep promoting the unsafe energy while it poisons the land and people. Until it is totally safe leave that shit alone.
