Nuclear waste is no treat for Nevada

Would any loving parent knowingly give their child a piece of candy that is proven to be detrimental to their present or future health? I think not.

Nuclear waste creates very serious concerns, be it low- or high-grade.

My uncle, who was a sailor on a nuclear vessel, got a dose of the radiation that escaped into the Pacific Ocean that he swam in. Within six months, he went from a burly 240 pounds of all man to a 65-pound skeleton before passing.

Nuclear waste is nothing to debate over. It is a killer and everyone knows it.
