Will the US Become the World's Nuclear Waste Dump?
Didn’t you think that radioactive waste was bad stuff? But somebody, or bodies, may be getting paid off to accept 20,000 tons of radioactive waste from the Italians. Paid off? What other reason could there be? Better yet, the more obvious question is Who is running the government and in charge of keeping our nation safe?
The federal government is weighing a Utah company’s request to import large amounts of low-level radioactive waste from Italy – a step critics say could lead the United States to become a nuclear garbage dump for the world.
If approved, the company would ship up to 20,000 tons of metal piping, sludge, wood, contaminated clothing, and other mildly radioactive material from Italian nuclear-power plants to Tennessee, process most of it, then dispose of the remainder in Utah. It would be by far America’s largest import of nuclear waste.
