The Energy Department “is going to analyze each waste stream and manage it in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission standards, with the goal of getting the lower-level waste out of these states without sacrificing public safety,” Dabbar said.for president, said the move is illegal.
The change would affect sludge and other waste in the three states, where the Energy Department reprocessed nuclear rods for decades to extract plutonium for hydrogen bombs. The operations left behind millions of gallons of highly radioactive material in underground tanks that have proven difficult, if not impossible, to safely discard.The waste includes isotopes of iodine, strontium, americium, plutonium, uranium and other unstable elements, many of which are toxic as well as radioactive.
Under the old interpretation, any waste product that was created during reprocessing was automatically classified as high-level waste. The new interpretation would be based on the waste’s level of radioactivity, not its origin.

I've seen too many headlines about the GOPs actions to destroy so much. I think it might be the point of no return. Plan ahead and live for today.
It is not so much 'how', but rather their 'negligence' pretending to change things by labeling them differently (what). In pretending to cheat us they swindle themselves. May the first cases of poisoning bear upon them, setting the example of their meager 'human standards.
Need I remind the Republican Party and the Trump administration that the nation produces no wealth if we're all irradiated skeletons?

Having just watched Chernobyl, a big No fcking way SecretaryPerry realDonaldTrump . Try an experiment in your backyard and see what happens.
Dear GAWDS, The Trump Admin is full of idiots!!! The clean up taking place is necessary because the precise storage method now proposed were used before--back when science knew no better. Now those methods have proved dangerous for permanent storage. I know. I worked there.
IndivisibleWA4 Hi. Yes. Hello rest of the nation. This is literally in my backyard. Welcome to the Tri-Cities.
Dump it near properties owned by the Trump family and the rest of the Trump Admin.
GOP and Trump business plan, federal regulations are just for suckers. Don't like a rule, just change the game and claim big victory for blue collar jobs.
Next they’ll say that radiation is good for you. They’ll call it Freedom Rays.
Ok. We need to fight them. Our lives depend on it! Republicans are mentally unstable to do this. They are nihilistic greedy people that need to killed. This is criminal. They want to kill Americans (Democrats and Republicans) and destroy the earth. They want genocide!
Oh great
And all this time I thought Chernobyl on HBO was a comedy
'Junior, eat your veggies. They're good for you!' 'But mom they're glowing green!' 'That just means their fresh that's all. Now eat up.'

Saudi Energy Conundrum Deepens With Gas DealSaudi Arabia has finally found a deal that makes sense.
