And here we go they are just NOW confirming that Hanford is leaking into the soil. This is absolutely unbelievable it is not top priority on the United States Governments to-do list!!!!!!! Here is the link I'll do something a little more detailed later on.

Hanford Leaks Into Columbia River
See penetration into soil and into Columbia River out to the Pacific Ocean

Our Childrens Children will be Nuclear Babies........
Our childrens children will be nuclear babies.
The clean-up is expected not to be done until 2035 and that does not include the groundwater treatment?
How in the world can they get away with this?
Our children will not be safe until after 2050?
This entire interview mentions nothing about the crops and food that are contaminated?
It mentions nothing about the Columbia River dumping the waste into the Pacific Ocean?
Or even the fact of all the cities and towns this waste is being carried through?
It mentions nothing of the high cancer and multiple sclerosis diagnosis in this area or about the downwinders in this area?
The Question and Answer section mentions absolutely nothing about the high temperatures the hydrogen gas is putting off which makes the entire area at risk of explosion and becoming a nuclear wasteland?
It mentions nothing about the 177 buried tanks and 6 that they know of leaking?
It mentions nothing about our jetstream carrying the leaking U-238 and PU-239 waste affecting the entire northern part of the United States of America and Southern Canada?
Finally this whole Q and A was everything anyone could find on Hanford but it mentions nothing about the apples grown in the area or the milk the children drink? It mentions nothing about our water or air that is poisoning all of us? Our Presidents need to stop ignoring that these tanks are 50 years past their expiration date. They need to start building new and improved tanks or do something with this waste so that the people and citizens of Canada and the United States of America are safe and living freely so they dont have to worry about the spike in cancer or MS. Something needs to be done.
Here is the Q and A I was talking about done on June 1st 2013:

Ok some of the info may be a little scattered. But get to the end and you will be blown away. You at this very moment are being poisoned some how some way. This could be the largest conspiracy between the DOE, President, Congress, and Medical Industries and sadly your family members may be catching cancer because of this problem.
Keep in mind that anytime it says Benton County that is the location of the 586 square mile Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Within miles around the reservation is nothing but death. I will include an aerial picture of Hanford and you can see the green on the outer edges and the brown death on the inside.
The 177 tanks, built between 1943 and 1986 and most intended for only about a 20-year life span, are decaying; at last count, six are leaking. None of yet to bereplaced meaning some are at a 50 year expiration date.
The Obama administration halted the Yucca Mountain Geologic Repository Project. Now some scientists are saying that it may be to dangerous to cleanup.
The largest and most expensive environmental clean up in the Western Hemisphere. U-238 used at the site has a half life of 4.47 billion years. U-238 is then created into Pu-239 which has a half life of 24,100 years. 2/3 of the nations high level waste is stored at Hanford Dirtiest Reactor Site in the World. 54,000,000 gallons of high level nuclear waste at the site in 177 tanks that at most. Some are 50 years past their expiration date of being replaced. Plus another 50,000 drums in temporary storage.
Hanford's tanks are constantly emitting Hydrogen gases raising the temperature.Risking an explosion that would not rival any of the Nuclear disasters that haveever happened on the planet. We would be looking at a catastrophic failure that would make land uninhabitable for 24,000 years. For 40 years contractors dumped plutonium, cesium, technetium, tritium, strontium, and various other isotopes inot the air, soil, groundwater and even the Columbia River which passes through Portland and Vancouver into the Pacific Ocean.300 gallons of waste per year leak out of these old tanks.
Imagine a Three Mile Island accident every hour? During its heyday of dumping and leaking that is exactly what was happening at Hanford.
Now imagine all the foods that come from Washington State:
This comes directly from the Washington State Wikipedia Website on the agriculture.
This affects everyone of us in the USA:
Washington is a leading agricultural state. (The following figures are from the Washington State Office of Financial Management and the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service, Washington Field Office.)
For 2003, the total value of Washington's agricultural products was $5.79 billion, the 11th highest in the country. The total value of its crops was $3.8 billion, the 7th highest. The total value of its livestock and specialty products was $1.5 billion, the 26th highest.
In 2004, Washington ranked first in the nation in production of red raspberries (90.0 percent of total U.S.production)
- wrinkled seed peas (80.6 percent) hops (75.0 percent) spearmint oil (73.6 percent) apples (58.1 percent) sweet cherries (47.3 percent) pears (42.6 percent) peppermint oil (40.3 percent) Concord grapes (39.3 percent) carrots for processing (36.8 percent) Niagara grapes (31.6 percent)
- Washington also ranked second in the nation in production of: lentils fall potatoes dry edible peas apricots grapes (all varieties taken together) asparagus (over a third of the nation's production) sweet corn for processing green peas for processing Washington also ranked third in: tart cherries prunes plums dry summer onions
Washington also ranked fourth in: barley and trout
Washington also ranked fifth in: wheat, cranberries, and strawberries.
The apple industry is of particular importance to Washington.
Now for a sad part: A 1990 DOE analysis of downwinders showed that newborns and infants were highly contaminated because of milk.
2010 U.S. Dairy Statistics Show:
- Washington State #10 in milk production Oregon State #18 in milk production Idaho State #3 in milk production
Imagine how many infants are affected by these statistics alone? Imagine the illnesses so many children will suffer through because of the recklessness of our politicians.
So just on food alone how many American Citizens in the United States of America does Hanford effect and how many in the future will Hanford effect? All 300 million plus.
Illnesses related to Nuclear Waste Exposure: Cancers of the bile ducts, bone, brain, breast, colon, esophagus, gall bladder, liver (primary site, but not if cirrhosis or hepatitis B is indicated), lung (including bronchiolo-alveolar cancer), pancreas, pharynx, ovary, salivary gland, small intestine, stomach, thyroid, urinary tract (kidney/renal, pelvis, urinary bladder, and urethra) Leukemia (except chronic lymphocytic leukemia) Lymphomas (except Hodgkin’s disease) Multiple myeloma (cancer of plasma cells), Acute Radiation Syndrome, Radiation and Your Health, Plus much much more
Spending on Hanford Per Year: In 1997 the cost of clean-up was estimated, now imagine that was 16 years ago. Yet it was estimated at $200 billion and 50 years
About 1,200 workers were already laid off from late 2011 to January 2013. 4800 more as of April 1st 2013 were being threatened with more furloughs.
Remember when Congress and President Obama were playing around with the fun little game of sequestration? They didn't tell you it was a deadly game did they? Yes Hanford was part of that a really big part. Funding has been cut so many times at Hanford.
Remember the Titanic? This is the iceberg and the USA is the ship. At any given moment if a massive chain reaction explosion were to occur? It would destroy and kill everything within 100's of miles around it and it would be uninhabitable for so many generations that it would not even matter any more.
What is a downwinder? I will refer you to the wiki on Downwinders because there is a payment schedule but it is extremely limited. Basically because I live in a downwinder area and get brain cancer and can link it to Hanford I can recover $50,000.
Sure they will bring up "Fracking" to take the news off of Hanford Leaking. But we have been fracking for over a century. Deal with Fracking after we stopped being poisoned.
So who is to blame: President, Supreme Court, Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches of the Federal Government and State Governments. EPA and DOE, Any type of Medical Industry with their hand in the Affordable Care Act
The damage is being done everytime you suck in air so what are you going to do about it? How do we stop a government so out of control that it poisons its own people and thinks none the wiser?

Monday, June 10, 2013
Ok so here is the start of stopping the leaking and waste that is being exposed to American Citizens across the country. Yes I did say across the country. From water, air and food. All essentials are being exposed to the most dangerous type of waste you could ever be exposed too. This blog is new so if you hang in there with me we will get Congress and the President to clean up this amazing waste that every President since President Roosevelt during the Manhatten Project has ignored. I will be talking about various topics that have any type of exposure to the American Public from the Largest Nuclear Waste site in the Western Hemisphere. I know pictures are not centered yet I am working on that. There is alot of work to be done and little time to do it. I run also the sunshineshock.blogspot.com blog as well. But right now my main concern is the American Public and Citizens of the World.
