    Radioactive Scrap Metal Could be Turned into Consumer Products

    "WASHINGTON (January 11, 2013) ? A Department of Energy proposal to allow up to 14,000 metric tons of its radioactive scrap metal to be recycled into consumer products was called into question today by Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) due to concerns over public health. In a letter sent to DOE head Steven Chu, Rep. Markey expressed ?grave concerns? over the potential of these metals becoming jewelry, cutlery, or other consumer products that could exceed healthy doses of radiation without any knowledge by the consumer. DOE made the proposal to rescind its earlier moratorium on radioactive scrap metal recycling in December, 2012."

          'Public Health' my ass. More like Public Toxification. They got a star from the elite. Good thing some politician questioned it, It's got more credibility now.
