United States New World Role: Low-Level Nuclear Waste Dumping Ground
The United States, under President Obama, is allowing U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu to make agreements with foreign countries (already alleged to have signed an agreement with Italy), to bring in radioactive waste into the United States for processing and storage.
The United States is now in the process of importing low-level radioactive waste from foreign countries. Energy Secretary Chu has signed an agreement in 2009, with Italy, to take their radioactive waste. There may be more agreements in our future unless the public objects and says no to this new policy. Mexico, Canada, England, and other countries will all be making deals with the U.S. in the near future. (It is alleged that there is a court case in progress with regard to this issue according to statements made at the October 16, 2009, U.S. House Hearing.)
