The Hanford site already has radioactivity from burial (of nuclear waste) over the last 40-50 years leaking into the Columbia River -- that's admitted by the Department of Energy. And, radioactivity was known to be in the tumbleweeds back in December (of 1998). That was admitted. That's what's burning right now. |

The waste problem to simplify this: If you make nuclear power, you get more power for the present but you have radioactive waste forever. |
