Re: Feedback - Radioactive-waste bunkers `unsafe'



Richard,

My purpose was only to send feedback information, I don't know how to answer your question. Probably some American colleagues could do it.

 About news from press,  TV and individuals, it is very important to understand human attitude. I think we must be curious, open, and interested toward a better identification of roots and reasons  and with the opportunity to influence people for a better radiation safety discernment.

Hi, J.J.,

I'll pick on just one. What is the level of radioactivity and the exposure levels (immediate and long term) in the case of the San Diego dumps?

I wouldn't live near a dump for many reasons--rotting melon rinds don't smell too good, for example.

So the inverse square law is ignored? Once again there was no information provided to help people assess the information.

I'm SO TIRED of TV News. It's about exciting the public, I fear...and ratings.

Cheers?

Richard

Low-Level Radioactive Waste Dumped In Local Landfills
State Claims Radioactive Material Is Safe
 
SAN DIEGO -- Low-level radioactive material is being dumped in San Diego landfills, and some of it may be in your home, 10News has reported.

Most Californians believe that any radioactivity is dangerous, but the state of California apparently has other ideas.
