In 1973, approximately 47,000 tons of the same legacy radioactive waste was moved from Latty Avenue and was illegally dumped into a neighborhood landfill named West Lake. This landfill became an EPA Superfund site in 1990. For the last seven years, an uncontrolled, subsurface fire has been moving towards an area where the radioactive waste was buried. The community’s fear is that fire will meet the radioactive particles. These particles will then attach to smoldering vapor and become airborne, migrating off-site and contaminating communities miles away.

It was literally declared a superfund site 30yrs ago. That shouldn't be surprising in and of itself.

I wish they released the actual measured amounts detected. It says they detected "22x the amount of radioactive lead-210 expected at the playground". Uhh... what exactly is the "expected amount" of radioactive material that is found at an elementary playground?

EDIT: Here is the actual report. Its pretty bad. They specifically call out the Army Corps of Engineers for doing a negligent job on earlier testing.

Yeah there is for lead 210. Its a naturally occuring trace element in soil.

Dig up the ground on your property, send it for analysis, and they will find some amount of it. In the vast majority of places this amount will be so small, it wont matter.

Same goes for polonium 210.

The numbers are tiny, but they are not 0

The local issue has been govt refusal to admit/recognize/study the issue (of leaks in Coldwater into the wider watershed and the superfund site actively harming communities around it, which the govt actively denied) and especially to help the victims.

You should look into the Westlake landfill. That's where all the waste that was at Coldwater creek ended up. Now it's on fire underground. It's classified as a subsurface smoldering event. Luckily the flairs they added is keeping the air somewhat clean in the area.

I grew up pretty much next door to this school, as did my mother, my family had the same home since the 1950's. Just recently in the last decade, the army admitted to testing radiological chemical weapons (for Cold War use) over St. Louis. They were dumping them over less affluent parts of the city, including this neighborhood. My mother told me a story once about how, as a kid, she saw a plane fly overhead and found herself covered in a white powder. I myself remember seeing loads of unusual things.

The cancer rate in this area is also extremely high. I don't know if there are any studies, but the neighbourhood had an unusual amount of twins as well, self included.

Meteorologically, St. Louis has similar wind patterns as cities in Russia and Korea. We also have a lot of dense housing projects, similar to Russia. They were testing a Cold War weapon they were developing that caused health ailments for people while not destroying infrastructure.

Every year at school, several kids would die of leukaemia and sometimes cancers rarely seen in young people. I actually thought numerous deaths a year was normal.

This article is long but very good at explaining what was happening:

I’d say it is, for a few reasons. I’m not an expert, but I grew up in the area and no one has responded to you. I would say it’s because StL was at one of the biggest cities in the country 100 years ago, then shrank rapidly as demographic trends changed. That’s led to a certain degree of decay and abandonment that you don’t get in KC, which was never that big to start with.

Also, in a massive self-own, St. Louis became an independent city in the late 1800s, when it was most booming and the county was just farms and small towns. So in the 50s when white flight was happening everywhere, the city lost its tax base to the county.

St. Louis county is its own mess because instead of having a cohesive plan to improve, it’s made of almost 100 tiny, corrupt independent towns who fight with each other over the scraps.

>No it isn't! Either there are protocols for handling it safely and humans are capable of that, or they aren't!

They absolutely are different.

First of all the military industrial complex has very little to no oversight. They are accountable to no one but themselves and it usually takes decades before information is declassified and the world finds out about their crimes. The nuclear power industry on the other hand is heavily regulated and has lots of public oversight. If something goes wrong it is not long before the public knows about it.

In addition to no oversight, the production of fuel for nuclear weapons results in a lot more long lasting radioactive waste like Plutonium-239. Nuclear energy reactors do not. The majority of waste from nuclear reactors has very short half-life with Strontium-90 and Cesium-137 being the longest lasting of the waste which have a half-life of ~30 years. Plutonium-239 on the other hand has a half-life of 24,000 years and the greatest quantities of it comes from the production of nuclear weapons.

In addition to all of this, most of the high-level waste (other than spent fuel) generated over the last 35 years has come from reprocessing fuel from government-owned plutonium production reactors and from naval, research and test reactors. A small amount of liquid high-level waste was generated from reprocessing commercial power reactor fuel in the 1960s and early 1970s. There is no commercial reprocessing of nuclear power fuel in the United States at present; almost all existing commercial high-level waste is unreprocessed spent fuel.

>There is waste everywhere and the remnants from the accidents are poisoning all of humanity.

No, radiation is not poisoning all of humanity. Unlike other things such as the burning of fossil fuels, nuclear waste can be contained to one area and properly disposed of underground.

>I might be more willing to separate the two if not for Fukushima.

You know the majority of the land around Fukushima is already safe to inhabit, right? It is only the plant itself and the area directly surrounding the plant which is still dangerous. In addition to this, not a single death was caused by radiation. Hell even the majority of Chernobyl has less radiation that the majority of popular beaches around the world.

Please do more research into this before continuing to chime in. Your opinions on the subject are grossly mislead.
