Huge stockpile of nuclear waste on California fault line threatens US Millions of pounds of toxic waste are being buried under the site of a privately owned former nuclear power plant in California. The only problem? Experts warn that it sits on a major fault line — and in a tsunami zone. The San Onofre nuclear plant, located just 108 feet from a popular beach, was shut down in 2015 after a leak was discovered. Now, the Southern California Edison energy company is burying the nuclear waste at the failed site — a move which has been approved by federal regulators. Charles Langley, the executive director of Public Watchdogs, told RT that the situation at San Onofre is of “grave concern” because spent nuclear fuel and water “don’t mix.” Langley claimed that research carried out by experts which highlighted the extreme risks of storing the waste at the facility was “suppressed” by the very government agency responsible for protecting public health and safety..

The cosmic rays increase the rate of decay. Aka makes them hotter.
Just in case it wasn't unstable enough. |

No worries - according to thread last evening, that site burned in yesterday's fire, putting much of the waste into the air. Now there's less to worry about on the ground. Breathing not recommended. Prayer is the most powerful force on earth.
