Sputnik – July 19, 2019
Nevada state authorities have voiced fears that radioactivity could be released into the environment by powerful tremors, regularly hitting the proposed site of a nuclear waste repository, set to store thousands of tonnes of hazardous reactor fuel, according to the federal government’s plans.
Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak and the state’s six Congressmen and Congresswomen have confronted the country’s Department of Energy over plans to license a nuclear waste repository in Yucca Mountain in the Mojave Desert. The letter addressed to Energy Secretary Rick Perry followed powerful earthquakes in California in early July that hit an area just 100 miles northeast of the proposed waste dump site. It insisted that the seismic hazards in Yucca Mountain showed “one of the many geologic problems with the site as a nuclear waste repository”.
He stated that the quakes have only strengthened his “resolve to fight any continued federal effort to use Nevada as the nation’s nuclear dumping ground”.
“I’m proud to join our bipartisan group of federal representatives in once again sending the loud and clear message that Yucca has never been, and will never be, good for Nevada”, the letter from 16 July published by The Nevada Current reads.
The governor, joined by Senators and Representatives, threatened to challenge the DOE’s license application if its licensing resumes and criticised the federal government for considering proceeding with the development of the repository “at a location that evidences serious safety concerns and mounting uncertainties regarding its geological status”.
The letter cites the conclusions of the expert teams from the University of Nevada, Reno, and UNLV (University of Nevada in Las Vegas). In a separate letter to the governor from Reno’s experts, Nevada State Geologist James Faulds and Nevada State Seismologist Graham Kent noted that the proposed site “lies in a very dynamic, seismically active region, as evidenced by the Ridgecrest earthquakes as well as other historical temblors” […]

Running with Scissors
Fallon Nevada is a major Cancer Cluster in The USA. Fallon is a place where a nuclear bomb was detonated far north in Nevada from the Nevada Open Air nuclear Test Range in Southern Nevada, where hundreds of Open Air nuclear bombs were detonated on American Citizens across The west USA and beyond.
There was a nuclear Bomb, detonated 30 miles from Fallon Nevada into Fallons water supply. Nuclear Waste was fracked into Fallons Water Suppply by Dick Cheneys Haliburten, in the first fracking experiments in the 1960s.
The media said Fallon Nevada’s Cancer Cluster may have been from leaking Fuel from a military base closeby but the Residents of the state of Nevada and Fallon Nevada, know better. Fallon, Nevada is one of the worst cancer clusters, in the world. Fallon, Nevada has one of the highest rates of birth defects, in the world.

Nuclear Reactor Companies, Nuclear MIC companies, Nuclear Waste Companies like Halliburten and Holtec get special full legal shield protection from lawsuits for Nuking US citizens and inundating America with nuclear waste.

The sleazy american congress has always protected the US government, Nuclear Reactor Corporate Operators, Uranium Companira, the US Military and US Nuclear waste Corporations from lawsuits for inundating america with Radioacive-Radionuclide poison The worst poison in the universe. There have been numerous down-winder settlements, that are are pittances . The down-winder pittances cannot make up for the millions of deaths, birth-defects, cancers, radionuclide-related illnesses that are passed on genetically and acutely destroy lives in America.

“Trump and his crew are working hard to keep aged-dangerous reactors opened, in America. They are doing so, in spite of the flooding and hurricanes that destroyed a good part of Houston three years ago, and put half of New Orleans under water last week. There are many beat-up reactors in areas like this in the USA!
Climate change is much more dangerous than we are led to think. The flooding in Iowa, Nebraska, Louisiana, Arkansas almost set off 4 of the oldest, most cracked and embrittled nuclear reactors in the world in the past weeks and last couple of months. It is due to unprecedented flooding in the mid-west and south.”
Trump is abrogating Nuclear arms and missile treaties . Trump is changing Pentagon nuclear policy to First strike, so that he can Manufacture multiple small Tactical Nuclear weapons . Smal Tactical Nuclear Weapons to Be Used on Countries like Iraq and in his Multitrillion dollar William Teller Space Force boondogle. This is while america is iradiated to death from old shoddy reactors, gowing nuke waste, new nuclear arms production, crappy infrastructure and so much more!
