    don't worry they are getting rid of the epa and the workers who deal with these problems, so all restrictions are gone really. If nobody's monitoring, it's not a problem, right? Just don't get thirsty.

      @ An $80 water filter might remove the taste of iron from your drinking water, allowing you to die from radiation poisoning while sipping better tasting coffee. So yeah, there's that.

    • @jerrymeadows5059
      @jerrymeadows5059 5 дней назад +2

      @ I don't know about proof, but I do know that radioactivity doesn't seem to care about its media- water, dirt, whatever. And I do know about history. Both my Father and my older brother worked there, both for about thirty years. My brother Joe started out working in decontamination and although he only worked in that department for about a year, he and literally everyone else in his work crew died of one form of cancer or another. My father had a tech job and usually worked in the same work station and apparently suffered no ill effects, but my point is the A-Plant did not have a good record in protecting its own and it's not unreasonable to think things have gotten better over time and since the half life of plutonium is about 87.7 years maybe we'll know more by the 2160s or so.

    Do you want those jobs in those incomes to build up your towns in your personal lives for decades. But now you say, the problem you created should be put on the back of someone out west. I say no. You profited from that for decades, probably into the billions of dollars. Now you live with the clean up yourself and stop shoving This off on the other states other regions of residence. You did this you clean it up in your own backyard
