“Ever since 1945, radioactive refuse has been an ever-growing problem. It comes in several kinds-highly radioactive fuel rods from reactors, shavings from nuclear warhead manufacture, and a vast mass of lesser, lightly radioactive debris such as contaminated clothes, plastic liners, pyrex tubes, rags, beakers, drills, pipes, boxes, and casings. Much of this is sitting in steel drums, many already leaking into the ground. We have run out of time.” http://www.physics.uci.edu/~silverma/benford.html
