“New Mexico: 500 barrels of questionable nuke waste”

” New Mexico environment officials say more than 500 barrels of waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory was packed with the kitty litter suspected of causing a chemical reaction and radiation release at the nation’s underground nuclear waste dump.”

Updates on the disposition of all the ‘green kitty litter drums’, as well as NM ordering WIPP to seal the suspect panels and basically entomb the problem containers.

I’m just appalled that it’s asserted that normal operations can resume after such a move

The problem I have with Conca at this point is that he’s doubling down on the idea that sealing the panels is a solution “to enable continued operations”.

Can someone please explain how a salt mine is decontaminated of radiation? Conca hasn’t. I’d love to hear about it.../s
