The DOE claims the low dosage of radiation in consumer goods is "safe" and "effective," and in the end, will also "protect the environment" by having private industries purchase the radioactive scrap metal to put into their products, instead of the radioactive corporations disposing of it themselves -- Haven't we heard this before, with Fluoride?? Instead of the industrial waste disposing of their waste, our cities buy their waste from them to put into our drinking water! So now we will also be buying radioactive scrap metals to "dispose" of for them in our everyday consumer goods!!

DOE Submits Plan to Recycle Radioactive Waste into Consumer Goods

Story at-a-glance

• The Department of Energy (DOE) has released a proposal that would allow nearly 14,000 tons of radioactive metals to be recycled for use in consumer goods (eyeglasses, surgical implants, stainless steel water bottle, etc.)
• The proposal would modify an existing suspension that will now allow scrap metals from radiological areas to be released to private industry to be used for any purpose, including recycling
• The DOE’s proposal would only add to the growing amount of radioactive scrap metal already circulating globally, contributing to increasing “background” levels of radiation exposure that have been linked to cancer, cataracts, birth defects and more
• "...it also doesn’t hurt that sales of the metals could bring in up to $40 million a year for the DOE"

Radioactive Scrap Metal is Already a Problem

The radiation-safety chief for one of the world's biggest stainless-steel scrap yards actually told the Seattle Times last year that:⁶

“The major risk we face in our industry is radiation… You can talk about security all you want, but I've found weapons-grade uranium in scrap. Where was the security?”

That company alone found 145 nuclear items in their scrap metal in 2011 and another 200 in 2010. It’s unclear how much of this radioactive metal slips through the cracks and ends up getting processed into metal goods that are then sold to unassuming consumers…
