71. Plutonium from Japan to be disposed of underground in New Mexico

U.S.-bound plutonium that has recently been shipped out of Japan will be disposed of at a nuclear waste repository in New Mexico after being processed at the Savannah River Site facility in South Carolina, according to an official of the National Nuclear Security Administration.

“The plutonium will be diluted into a less sensitive form at the SRS and then transported to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) for permanent disposal deep underground,” said Ross Matzkin-Bridger, who is in charge of the operation at the NNSA, a nuclear wing of the Department of Energy.

Most states don't want this stuff, but Suzanne Martinez does because she is losing her oil and gas money. Amy Goodman once called NM the "radiation state" and said her mother told her not to eat the lettuce when she visits here. I'm a fellow New Mexican JG - actually I live 50 miles from the Trinity Site and there is still plutonium in Chupadera Mesa - probably radioactive ants too - like Los Alamos.
