MrEnergyCzar's video: Radioactive Nuclear Waste Leak - Hanford WA

Radioactive Nuclear Waste Leak - Hanford, WA Hi everybody, MrEnergyCzar here. This video is about the nuclear waste leaking at the Hanford nuclear reservation in Washington State. • Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/MrEnergyCzar.PeakOil • Twitter: https://Twitter.com/MrEnergyCzar • We'll hear what other's are saying in a moment. Hanford is where the military stored it's waste after making nuclear weapons. This started back in the 1940's. Plutonium and other toxic waste was stored in 20 year, single lined tanks, underground. These tanks have now been leaking waste into the ground. • The concern is that the nearby Columbia river may become contaminated along with many people's drinking water. I don't understand why the tanks were single lined and weren't replaced after 20 years back in the 60's. The nuclear waste isn't supposed to reach the river for 15-50 years but what happens if the climate changes a little bit and it starts to rain a lot? Let's see what others are saying.
