That is why I am afraid stories like the one I posted just an hour ago will become a dime a dozen.
The issue you point out here is critical to the survival of the human race, and consequently the survival of the plants and animals on this planet of which we humans are suppose to be Caretakers over!
We need to phase out the nuclear technology, and we need to focus our civilization on a 100-year clean up plan of some type, where all nations devote themselves to attempting to clean some of this crap up, isolate it, contain it, whatever can be done.
I am freaking out because this needed to be done yesterday, not tomorrow. Time is ticking and zero hour is inching ever closer.
Here is a good metaphor for the situation.
Would you allow a 4yr old child to handle a loaded gun for fun? No?
Than why would anyone accept Human Kind (babies of the universe essentially) to handle nuclear materials?
It just doesn't make any sense. We humans are not responsible nor do we exercise even the most basic of foresight into our own potential future failures.
This is a really, really distressing situation that should be minimized, yet it seems the MSM is ignoring this as well as they ignore all of our other near simultaneous disasters.
