RE: Radioactive waste near New Mexico water supply not a health risk, officials say
How Much Radioactive stuff is there?
No figures of the degree of the these materials,just that they are there.
Until someone gives the rate rate/quantity of radiation you cannot know what the risks are.
As usual in these stories , the term radioactive is used to scare the pants of the masses.
Green Peace is mentioned above. They are a bunch of extremists who resort to terrorism when they don't like something.
Truth is not something that they believe in.
I agree with wizardjr, people who live in houses built of Granite like Scotland get quite high doses of Radon .
No worries there as it is natural.
