Here is an update on what is behind the radium in the instruments stories in the news.  Pretty scary, but not because of the radium

So, when does one begin to fight back? I mean *really* fight back?

Add to this series of horrific Bureaucratic bullying the fact that we are now in the process of fighting a huge conglomerate of energy companies backed by the U.S. Government here in Utah.
 
Why? Because they want to import hundreds of thousands of pounds of nuclear waste from not only other states, but from Japan to store it 60 miles upwind of Salt Lake City, Utah. It's all obviously pork belly politics and payoffs.
 
What makes it worse is the fact that these storage facilities aren't exactly well contained or secure. This also makes our City a more attractive site for potential terrorist activity.
 
They also want to transport it through our populated areas on a regular basis via rail line and truck.
 
The good news is that there has been quite a public outcry here and at least our local politicians have changed their tune. Since the Feds. are all for the energy companies making lots of money importing this stuff and storing it in our back yard, we're refusing the right to build the rail lines necessary to do this over other lands.
 
Point being.  We must pick our battles carefully, because the ones that we pick, we must be determined to win at all costs. In order to do this we must band together as a large and powerful group and communicate. I think that we have that through AOPA, the EAA, etc.
 
Hopefully, the victims of this radon fiasco can use some of this in support of their cases. Can we take up a collection (all groups) for their legal defense fund?

Where they really want to put it IS well-contained and secure, namely deep underground in what was a fairly useless piece of desert in Nevada.  It was fairly useless until the above ground nuclear detonations of the 50s;  It's now quite thoroughly useless.
 
The federal government is legally obligated to take posession of the commercial waste but they are at least 20 years behind behind schedule and still being delayed by pointless legal challenges based in more on emotion than science or engineering- as is your objection.  If they had it, they would no doubt take as good of care of it as they did the military waste.  That was a tongue in cheek comment.  Hanford, Rocky Flats, Paducah, and West Valley are huge messes.
 
The proposed site, you failed to mention, is on the Goshute reservation.  Like all indian reservations, it is a sovereign land of the indians (held in trust by the US government).  What Utah thinks about the uses of indian land has as much relevancy as what Utah thinks about the uses Lithuanians choose for their land. 
 
In any event the solution to your problem is to get Yucca mountain repository open.

     Yep, and the self appointed representative of the Goshutes who negotiated this with the Energy Conglomerate is now up on Corruption Charges for taking huge kickbacks.
 
The Goshutes are getting very little. You are right about Yucca Valley. Another worry is this sites close proximity to all of the other biological and chemical warfare wastes that are also stored out there.
 
Ah well, if it isn't hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and floods it's always something somewhere. Let's just forgeddaboudditt and go fly. ( I mean it.)
