New revelations on radioactive waste in St. Louis

[@Steve-q6l4v]

I grew up with Coldwater creek in my backyard, giant crawdads, surfin on plywood, mudball fights, hockey in winter. Every kid should have a creek.

[@missprimrose4132]

Many died of cancer playing in contaminated creeks.

How the hell do you PROPOSE legislation to clean it up??? We pay taxes to high heaven, i expect my taxes to be used towards shit like this. Stop sending our money to ukraine and take care of our own people. Wtf!

[@stevenleek1254]

A newspaper printed on the day of my birth and given to me as a novelty gift reported that as of August 17th 1952 a radioactive waste site had been found adjacent to the Washington University campus. I've wondered, over the years, if that issue had been adressed.

SO ITS OKAY TO TRUCK IT TO MICHIGAN FOR MONTHS AND ALLOW IT TO SPILL ALL OVER THE ROADWAYS AND OUR CORN FIELDS AND OUR WATER WAYS?!!?!, THIS NEEDS ATTENTION NOW

[@missprimrose4132]

Evey state in America has contamination! NUCLEAR POWER IS NOT CLEAN!!! THUG POLITICS

I remember working at a restaurant early 1970s on St Charles Rock and Lindbergh. The back parking lot went down hill. When it rained sometimes it would fill up with greenwater and stunk bad.we had to move the dumpsters from bottom of lot to behind the restaurant. I would never park in the green water😢

Happening at Hanford and other repositories Nuclear power may be a necessary evil, to generate power, but we need to have better ways to shield the spent nuclear material.

If your cause has hawley's name on it, you are being sabotaged.

Oppenheimer amd thisbstory...full circle ⭕

Keep your poison off MotherEarth, karma will bite you

[@missprimrose4132]

The thugs that allow this to happen haven't received their karma... innocent people have died.

[@edcapp7654]

But they have money for their pet projects for decades. Term limits and government accountability need to be on government lists of things to accomplish. Not for the waste which will still kill for 50,000 yrs
