Finally, someone is exposing the lies about fluoride for all to see. It’s not longer just a Conspiracy Theorist rabbit hole. It’s another Conspiracy Realist exposition on how the government, big pharma, dentists, and nuclear waste facilities have been working together to sicken and kill Americans.
Us Conspiracy Realists have been right so much that maybe you should find one and make a friend. They’ll alert you to the next season of the Corporate Media Machine’s bullshit and tell you this shit coming downstream.

Science side of tumblr:
Genuine question: to deal with nuclear waste, why don’t we’re just shoot it into the sun? Just get it off planet entirely.
Just wait until the water has cooled enough to be barreled the way they already plan to do in the old salt mines, put it on a unmanned ship like you do a rover, and take aim for the big glowing thing in the sky. I can’t think any amount of nuclear waste humans make could damage the sun, so why are all our long term plans requiring it stay on earth?
I’m not advocating we use the sun as a major landfill for all our trash, but the concern for what to do with nuclear waste is a big reason a lot of people don’t want to invest in it.

Several First Nations and environment advocates are criticizing a decision by Canada’s nuclear regulator to greenlight a proposed nuclear waste site near the Ottawa River. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has, following an environmental assessment, authorized construction of a waste facility on the site of the Crown-owned Chalk River Laboratories, which tests nuclear technology in Deep River, Ont., about 180 kilometres northwest of Ottawa. The site sits within a kilometre of the Ottawa River, on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg peoples.

I'm sincerely fascinated by everything related to long term nuclear waste storage warning systems. Like if they made merch I'd be SO hyped up about it.
Like if they made a funko pop like this:

i'd buy it

Residual impurities affect the stability of hydrogen atoms in irradiated gibbsite: Study
During Cold War-era plutonium production at what is now the Department of Energy's Hanford Site in Washington State, aluminum was used extensively as fuel cladding material. The waste products generated by fuel processing are currently stored in underground holding tanks, where aluminum is present as boehmite and gibbsite. These irradiated fuel wastes create a complex, extreme environment, and a recent study examined how trace species, in this case residuals from synthetic precursors, affect the presence of radicals in gibbsite. Researchers also investigated irradiated boehmite, which is known for its ability to trap and stabilize hydrogen atoms. The paper is published in the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Studying how aluminum (oxy)hydroxides could function as radiolytic substrates in hydrogen production is a key research interest for energy sector security and decarbonization. It is also vital for effective management and storage of legacy radioactive wastes.

"You grow up readin' about pirates and cowboys and spacemen and stuff, and jus' when you think the world's all full of amazin' things, they tell you it's really all dead whales and chopped-down forests and nuclear waste hangin' about for millions of years."
Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens

Thanks to the Wikipedia article on Long-term nuclear waste warning messages, lots of people know the "THIS PLACE IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR" quote, but it occurred to me to look up the original document that it comes from, the 1993 report "Expert judgment on markers to deter inadvertent human intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant," by Trauth, Hora, & Guzowski of Sandia National Laboratories... and the whole thing is pretty fascinating.
Specifically, the famous quote and the pages above all come from the sub-report by "Team A," consisting of Dieter G. Ast (Cornell University), Michael Brill (Buffalo Organization for Social and Technological Innovation), Maureen F. Kaplan (Eastern Research Group), Ward H. Goodenough (University of Pennsylvania), Frederick J. Newmeyer (University of Washington), and Woodruff T. Sullivan, III (University of Washington). "Team B," I was surprised to notice, included astronomer Frank Drake (creator of the Drake Equation for estimating the changes of contacting extraterrestrial life).
The diagrams of possible construction options look a little bit like architectural plans, but also quite a bit like Dungeons & Dragons environment designs... and perhaps like the ruined architecture of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
