Explaining nuclear waste to my five-year-old!

i remade the long-term nuclear waste warning zine that i made this summer

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.

MY NAME WAS PLUTO

AS A PLANET I WAS KNOWN

INSTEAD I AM AN ANGEL

MY THREE WINGS SCARRED AND SEWN

SPIRES PIERCE THE QUELLING DUSK

LEPT FROM BLOODSHOT EYES

I AM THE VERY DEATH

TO IONIZE THE ALLIED

HELL EXISTS ON EARTH

FORGED WITH JUST DISHONOR

CYCLING THROUGH AGONY

GNAWING MANTLE

LEFT TO FESTER

you are not god for making me. i can never be seized.

bury me as i still live. i remember what you did to me.

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.

A new way to identify salts in nuclear waste melters could help improve clean-up technology, including at the Hanford Site, one of the largest, most complex nuclear waste clean-up sites in the world. Reporting in the journal Measurement, Washington State University researchers used two detectors to find thin layers of sulfate, chloride and fluoride salts during vitrification, a nuclear waste storage process that involves converting the waste into glass. The formation of salts can be problematic for waste processing and storage. "We were able to demonstrate a technique to see when the salts are forming," said John Bussey, a WSU undergraduate who is one of the paper's lead authors. "By doing that, the melters could be monitored to know if we should change what is being put in the melt."

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
