Worst Hanford tank may be leaking into soil

[Generic Other]

25. I have been anti-nuke to the core my whole life

I am not part of the problem.

You slur those who insist on a solution to a problem they did not create. Yeah, I understand environmentalists in other states not wanting to have Hanford's crap unloaded on them. Have you ever been to Hanford? I have. I was given a tour with other selected individuals in the hope I would return home ready to defend the industry's practices.

Yeah you are exposed to more radiation eating on orange fiesta ware they'll tell you. Or flying in a plane. Oh sure they told us that while we were ticking away on the geiger counters, bald. pale pre-cancerous workers. I know a woman who worked there two years and decided she could never have a child. Several others who got brain cancer and are now 100% disabled.

Yeah it's safe they told me. What about the fact that women of chldbearing age are told can't work there? What of the high incidence of brain tumors among nuke workers? They avoided my questions. One looked at me with desperation in his eyes when asked how he could take such risks with his life. He said "It's a living."

Well no, it's a dying.

How dare you blame this catastrophe on "leftwing" environmentalists. Just who the hell do you think posts on DU? Luckily who you denigrate the rest of us will esteem.
