'Santa Fe Officials Want Data On Radioactive Waste'
I, most certainly, don't want to be another victim of the reckless handling of nuclear anything - bombs, waste, and their saucy little byproduct. It's ironic; my Wikipedia Article of the Day was the section on military applications of depleted uranium. [See earlier post.]
I wonder if there are any communities at risk already from the waste as it flows now down the Rio Grande. I also wonder why unnamed officials want to divert the river near Santa Fe as I'm most certain they themselves are aware of this fact.
Coincidentally I have a grandmother who used to work at that same laboratory. Also, I will be inquiring into the land downstream of the lab and who it is that may already be affected.

SANTA FE, N.M. -- Officials managing a project to divert Rio Grande water to the Santa Fe area are seeking more information on possible pollution draining down from Los Alamos National Laboratory.
They reacted Thursday to a request from the executive director of Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety, Joni Arends.
She asked planners of the $145 million Buckman direct diversion project to check into possible pollution from the nuclear lab.
