"
Nuclear waste forces us to think about the distant future: the radioactive trail from our bombs and power plants will last 400 generations....So we need a “deep time” contingency plan. How can we mark off toxic land to safeguard our descendants 10,000 years from now..."

The screenings are sold out, but they will admit people without tickets if space is available.

US Army’s depleted uranium licencing saga highlights post-conflict contradictions

It has taken a decade but the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has finally granted the US Army a licence to possess and manage DU weapon residues at 15 US installations. However the domestic regulatory framework imposed by the NRC stands in stark contrast to the absence of obligations governing the management of contamination caused by US military actions in Iraq and elsewhere.
