Tritium Storage Encasements Questioned after 6 explosions February 2, 2003
(Large Flourescent Explosion Tilden Lake 5 April (4:15am) 2004 January 02, 15, March 10 (7am)
According to Mary O'Brien, (Making Better Environmental Decisions: An Alternative to Risk Assessment)
careful and protective lawmakers must be enlisted so as not to subject ctizens to unknown risks.
The lack of follow-up on this issue in Berkeley has resulted in repeated
contamination of soil, food chain, wildlife, external and internal water supplies.
The Alameda County (California) School Board
and the Environmentally Consciencious Citizens of Berkeley
sucessfully discovered the problem and worked resolutely
to close the reprocessing
facility which had received
a license and permit from a clerk working for the City of Berkeley.
The facility was closed due to the alarm of citizens
at the danger of exposure of radioactive leaks near the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
and the exposure of children to radiation at the Lawrence Hall of Science
Unfortunately, no plans were made to dispose of the thousands of stainless steel
barrels of explosive tritium gas which remained stacked along Centennial Drive
and hidden underground throughout the University's extensive tunnel system.
Lack of proper overseeing and evaluation of the permit granting agency (if any)
resulted in truckloads of these barrels exploding near Lake Anza and other
unexpected places during the summer of 2003 and winter of 2004.
