Remember the radioactive waste interstate shipments?

[HeeBGBz]

The company receiving all this stuff Waste Control Specialists is controlled by Harold Simmons who donated several million dollars to the Swift Boat Assholes.

I posted this on my new little blog. Just wondering if I'm barking up a worthwhile tree.

1. Not sure I'm following you - please explain n/t

3. Ok Harold Simmons bought Waste Control Specialists

He has been trying since at least 2001 to secure a deal for his company in Texas to dispose of radioactive waste.

Simmons has been known for some shady lobbying deals. Many considerable donations to the GOP.

Simmons donated millions to the Swift Boat Liars.

Simmons company Waste Control Specialists is now receiving the 2000 shipments of radioactive waste.

I don't know if it means anything other than a lot of little shifty coincidences.

2. something I thought interesting

About a month ago they had an article in the Courier Journal in the Indiana edition. It gave the exact dates, times, and roads these trucks would be passing through. Then at the end of the story mentioned that these trucks were being traced by GPS.

Now, I got to thinking. If you really wanted some of this stuff what an easier way to know where to get it than by opening a newspaper with all the juicy details. Does anyone else find this odd? I don't have a link to the story but I remember reading it and was floored that they would print something so downright stupid.:dunce:

4. Exactly.

If "someone" wanted to "create" another terra incident to keep the sheep in line, what better way than to give the terra ists a freakin floor plan and a timetable.

5. So if this DSM thing gets a little heated, it wouldn't be far-fetched for

say.... a dirty bomb explosion somewhere here in the states?

Kinda blows the whole premise that "the world's a safer place" with Bush as president, doesn't it?

6. One simple solitary hijacked truck out of 2000

Would send media into a terra spin.

This Simmons guy looks like an in-deep Bush Buddy corporate thug.

7. WCS already had one missing truck incident

"Those concerned about the security risk are armed with more than a little factual ammunition. Waste Control's record hardly inspires confidence. In 2001, for example, a 22-ton shipment of low-level waste headed for processing at Waste Control's dump disappeared, abandoned by its driver for unknown reasons. It turned up a month later at a ranch in North Texas, hidden under a pile of dirt. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said the waste posed no threat, but critics say such incidents illustrate the dangers of importing waste."

9. Senate panel approves $577 million for Yucca: get ready for the shipments

June 17, 2005

WASHINGTON -- The Senate Appropriations Committee approved more than $330 million in Nevada projects along with the Yucca Mountain budget Thursday.

The committee approved $577 million for the proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca, 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. This is the same amount the project has to work with this year, but $74 million less than the administration's request for fiscal year 2006.

Notably absent from the Senate version of the bill is any money set aside for a temporary storage site for nuclear waste because of Yucca's continued delay. The House bill fully funds the Yucca project with $651 million and added $10 million specifically for an unnamed interim storage site.

10. Reid said Yucca is dead

That they won't be doing storage there because of the lies about the science, that nuclear storage will likely be onsite. We shall see I guess.

13. That is kind of what they did in Andrews

Approved the shipments of radioactive waste from the US and the UK, even though they are not licensed for radioactive waste disposal, as long as they fit this criteria.

*the counterweights have been manufactured in accordance with a specific license to manufacture and distribute such items;

*each counterweight has been impressed, legibly, through any plating or covering, with the words "Depleted Uranium;"

*the counterweights have durable and legible markings or labels with the identification of the manufacturer, and a statement, "Unauthorized Alteration Prohibited;" and

*the exemption does not authorize any chemical, physical, or metallurgical treatment or processing of the counterweight, other than repair or restoration of any plating or other covering. Cutting, grinding, or smelting of uranium counterweights would therefore violate the conditions of the exemption, and are activities that require an NRC license.

12. I wonder what kind of nukes here

"$20 million for Security Force and Special Response Team upgrades at the Device Assembly Facility at the Nevada Test Site, a $100 million underground bunker used for nuclear weapons programs."

Is this where they are making the DU weapons and artillery?
