Fascinating, thank you for posting this. Ahem, just part of one of the items, #14:

Radioactive materials from nuclear weapons production sites are being dumped into regular landfills, and are available for recycling and resale. The Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) has tracked the Department of Energy’s (DOE) release of radioactive scrap, concrete, equipment, asphalt, chemicals, soil, and more, to unaware and unprepared recipients such as landfills, commercial businesses, and recreation areas. Under the current system, the DOE releases contaminated materials directly, sells them at auctions or through exchanges, or sends the materials to processors who can release them from radioactive controls. The recycling of these materials—for reuse in the production of everyday household and personal items such as zippers, toys, furniture, and automobiles, or to build roads, schools, and playgrounds—is increasingly common.

Are any of the fine gentlemen who frequent these boards in any way concerned that the flies of their blue jeans might be radioactive?

Wow, I got two rep point for the above post today. And I appreciate that. But I feel the need to point out that they were both from female posters.

No males here want to comment on my comment?

I'm just disappointed that all these radioactive clothes haven't given me superpowers *cries* :D

I'll give it a go. Probably not the best thing... don't want the big c downstairs. I'm not as concerned about my... fertility. Best let the hetero gentlemen here weigh in on that.

But: "...toys...schools, and playgrounds... Do what? Call me bleeding heart, overly concerned for child welfare, or whatever, but that is just made of complete *boggle*. Isn't that also possibly crossing an ethical/moral line?
