SOMEthing to think about

Hanlon (USA) is the location of one of oldest and largest dumping grounds for nuclear waste.

In the early years contaminated material was simply buried, later on underground facilities were build and, above ground, tanks for fluids and other waste.

Recently research showed, that radio-active substances had leaked into the earth and reached under ground waterlevels.

Authorities present the problem as local and under control (like Tepco does about Fukusjima). They completely ignore, that the leaking started in the 60ties and that underground water flows like a river and is connected to surface-water. The pollution started half a century ago and will eventually spread around the world.
