  6. Hype for the Future 146C: Kings County, California

    Overview Within the San Joaquin Valley in the State of California, otherwise known as the Central Valley, is the site of Kings County, California. While the City of Hanford serves as the county seat and is firmly located in the fertile valley, the City of Avenal is located to the southwest in a more semi-arid region of the State of California. Interstate 5 also passes through the limits of Kings County throughout the central portion of the State.

  7. 2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - To Use a Mountain

    USA, 2025, Director Casey Carter, Producers: Colleen Cassingham, Jonna McKone, Documentary, 99 min.

    "In 1982, the United States began their search for a landfill site for their most dangerous #NuclearWaste. The Department for Energy at the time preselected six sites across the country. Each of these areas were studied and documented in detail, and their residents consulted. The film, which adopts an observational yet sensitive tone, offers us a topography of these sites and their residents. In #Texas, #Utah, #Mississippi, #Nevada, the communities excavate memories of their confrontations with the administration, as well as the distress and outcry that these caused. The film travels across America goes back in time, reminding us that these lands were originally stolen from their first occupants, as we rediscover the intimate links between nuclear, civil and military powers."

  8. Sites with #radioactive material more vulnerable as #ClimateChange increases #wildfire, #flood risks

    Climate change increasingly threatens research laboratories, weapons sites and power plants across the nation that handle or are contaminated with #radioactive material or perform critical energy and defense research.

    "The Nuclear Regulatory Commission [#NRC] considers only historical #ClimateData rather than future projections in licensing decisions and oversight of #NuclearPowerPlants, according to a General Accounting Office study in April that recommended the NRC 'fully consider potential #ClimateChange effects.' The GAO found that 60 of 75 U.S. plants were in areas with high flood hazard and 16 were in areas with high wildfire potential."

  9. Graphic showing the leaking of the high-level radioactive waste at the Hanford Tank Farms, and the depth of the leakage. An underground plume of the liquid waste has been transporting towards the Columbia River.

    This is the same technology as “recycling" nuclear waste from reactors.
