(Editor’s note: Telling 92.2 M of us that one island, of our 7,000, can be converted into a safe nuclear waste facility won’t do as noted by the author.

EVERYTHING seems easy to some proponents to make the Bataan nuclear plant generate energy for the first time in the unseen future: 1) only $1 billion R48,500,000,000) is needed and 2) just one of our 7,000 islands for waste disposal will suffice……………….. Of course, the 113,000 people living within 50 miles of Carlsbad, and the many New Mexicans beyond that radius were understandably opposed and fought its operation since the site was first proposed in 1974.

Carlsbad is not a facility for hazardous/radioactive waste from nuclear plant/reactor fuel as represented by the geologist………………
