Remember the radioactive waste dome used by the United States to hold nuclear waste? Not long ago, it was announced that the so-called “nuclear coffin” is “maybe” leaking. As it turns out, the shellfish around the dome are all radioactive.
That means the dome is leaking radioactive material into the ocean and turning the sea life into biohazards, or the authorities in charge of clean up did a piss poor job. Researchers have found high levels of radiation in giant clams near the Central Pacific site where the United States entombed waste from nuclear testing almost four decades ago, according to a report by the LA Times. This is raising concerns that the radioactive contamination is spreading from the dump site’s tainted groundwater into the ocean and the food chain.
U.S. officials adamantly reject that the dome is leaking. But this issue isn’t new or recent by any means.

The radioactive shellfish were found near the Runit Dome, which is a concrete-capped waste site known by locals as “The Tomb,” according to a presentation made by a U.S. Department of Energy scientist this month in Majuro, the island nation’s capital. The clams are a popular delicacy in the Marshall Islands and in other nations, including China, which has aggressively harvested them from vast swaths of the Pacific.
And as it turns out, large segments of the population have been consuming radioactive fish. According to Terry Hamilton, a veteran nuclear physicist at the Energy Department’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Runit Dome is vulnerable to leakage by storm surge and sea level rise, and its groundwater, which is leaking into the lagoon and ocean, is severely contaminated. But the radioactive fish aren’t because of a leaking dome if Hamilton is to be believed.
He said isotopic analyses indicated the lagoon contamination was from residue from the initial nuclear weapons testing, according to a report by the LA Times. Many of the residents living in the area are rightfully skeptical of the U.S. government’s conclusion that the dome isn’t leaking.
“What they’re saying is, here is the dome. And here, in the lagoon area, there is radiation. … But as far as leaking from the dome, we don’t think that’s the case?” said James Matayoshi, mayor of Rongelap Atoll, one of the atolls contaminated by fallout from the nuclear testing program. “That doesn’t make any sense.” Matayoshi and others added that Hamilton presented a short animation of the dome, showing it rise and fall with the tide. The animation wholly suggested that the seawater is freely flowing in and out of the containment zone and spreading the radiation into the ocean and surrounding fish.
More than likely, the U.S. government is lying and trying to cover up mistakes they’ve already admitted to making as opposed to helping out those whose lives were ruined due to their neglect.
Re-post & Off Topic: As you guys may remember I have been on an Post SHTF entertainment kick lately. So I want to spread this information around because it’s a cheap way to get Movies and TV shows from the major streaming sites.
This is good info for when we are/become disconnected from the “Grid”. Check out PlayOn DVR app that records movies and shows from top streaming websites.
1. Digitizing Movie and TV Shows. I stumbled across a tool that will allow anyone to build a good library cheap and easy.
PlayOn software!! You can “download” stuff and save it on ANY Hard Drive you want. These can then be stored in a Faraday cage. The problem is that it “records” the show and consequently takes a while (i.e. a 2 hour movie takes 2 hours to record, regardless of internet connection speed).
h ttp://www.playon.tv
I use the computer program so that if and when I become disconnected from the internet/grid I will still have access to older movies and TV.
I HATE modern social engineering/woke crap!
Next it will be hoard seeds [click on my Amazon link] because of the cancer causing Beavers. I’ve written many books and therefore you must believe in everything you see on the internet.
How is this story physically possible, if radioactivity, in and of itself, is harmful to life.
They should be called Galen Windsor clams.
They’re radioactive? Does that mean we don’t have to cook ’em?
No, but they must be served at night to observe their gentle glow. 😀
Well then get you a big ol bowl of clam chowder! Meantime I will be eating my homegrown catfish! 😛
State residents here can collect 2 gal bucket for free without liscence. It’s a fun thing to do with kids. They are filter feeders so you wanna leave them in a bucket of clean fresh water for a while so they can filter out the junk. Make chowder.
Did we all forget the Pacific is dead due to all the radioactivity coming from Japan??? That is an extinction level event on its own. How short memories are. The pacific is wiped out…..and we are worried about one little atoll leaking??????????
It’s all dead, dead —
The entire ocean, at large, for thousands of miles away, except for the animals growing in nearby nuclear waste, and warming themselves in the water, vented from nuclear plants.
All things being equal, I am in favor of stewardship and was skeptical of Palin’s theory of hormesis. This is not an experiment I would have tried, on purpose.
The entire Pacific ocean is contaminated because of the 2011 Fukushima reactor melt downs in Japan.
Three hundred tons of radioactive water pours into the Pacific ocean every single day.
While SJW’s worry about plastic straws and disposable plastic eating utensils, perhaps they should be more worried about the high levels of radioactivity in the sushi that they continue to eat.
Fukashima. It’s been dumping hundreds of metric tons of radioactive water everyday for the last 7-8 years. Still leaking and the north Pacific is dead or dying. Fukashima.
