Since I'm the one who made this statement, please
tell me how I'm
being ignorant. Please tell me how a substance that
is essentially
inert, other than being radioactive (not fissionable
material or
reactive with its environment, etc.), that is put in
airtight
storage containers, and buried deep underground in
an area that
receives very little precipitation (thus very little
risk of water
table contamination), and furthermore is monitored
and guarded 24
hours a day, not to mention stored at least 100
miles from me, is
likely to affect me or my health or well-being.What IS ignorant, it seems to me, is to get all
panicked and trembly
about "nookular" material as a reflex, rather than
rationally
evaluating the actual danger. Not wearing the proper
SPF sunblock in
Las Vegas is ten thousand times more likely to
injure you or give
you cancer than being 100 miles from a nookular
waste dump.
