"Military Nuclear Mess:
Out of Sight, Out of Mind?"
Produced by America's Defense Monitor
 

 

    For the past fifty years, the United States government has  produced hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of nuclear waste.  With the Cold War over, it is time to begin the process of disposing this military nuclear mess.  The Department of Energy has created an underground disposal facility called the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant to permanently story military generated waste which contains plutonium.  However, whether this facility will safely store the nuclear material for the 24,000 years necessary, is greatly debated.  Is WIPP the answer to our nuclear disposal problem, or is it simply a way to bury it out of sight and out of mind?
