Iran knows the UN will do nothing to really stop them like they did with Pakistan, and India.
They had sanctions on them also for what ?
I hope some day the UN will just go away, and something better comes along just for crazy states like that.
I think treaties without the expense works as well.
The UN should be at most a true humanitarian organization that's not into politics at all.

This is scary. I remember being warned about this in high school many moons ago. When this hits the Pacific ocean along with Fukushima ....well....you know... :facepalm:

Former nuclear site in Washington state is 'causing workers to develop terminal illnesses' - and it won't be cleaned up for another 50 more years
The Hanford Site in Washington state was used to produce plutonium from 1943 through the end of the Cold War
Washington River Protection Solutions is now cleaning up the site
Workers at the site say they are being exposed to radioactive fumes
A watchdog group says that three workers have died as a result of exposure to nuclear waste on the job
Just this year, 61 workers have allegedly been exposed to toxic materials
But the government contractor says that everyone who has been checked out for possible exposure has been cleared to return to

A former nuclear site in Washington state is poisoning workers and threatening the health of those who live around it, according to a new investigation.

Some experts have called the former Hanford nuclear plant 'the most toxic place in America' and 'an underground Chernobyl waiting to happen'.

The site, located in a rural area along the Columbia River, was commissioned by the Manhattan Project to produce plutonium for the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II.

It remained an active nuclear site until the end of the Cold War, when it was decommissioned and the Department of Energy subcontracted Washington River Protection Solutions to start the clean-up.

But current and former workers at the site have told NBC that the underground containers holding the site's nuclear waste are leaking, and that they have been exposed to the toxic fumes because the company has not given them the right safety equipment.

NBC pushed Whitney on one specific case, involving a worker named Diana Gegg who says she now has dementia because of exposure on the job.

When confronted with Gegg's medical assessment, showing doctors believe her possibly terminal illness is a direct result of her exposure at Hanford, Whitney refused to comment.

'I'm not a medical professional and can't provide a qualified medical opinion,' he said.

The state Attorney General Bob Ferguson is taking action against the situation at Hanford, by suing the federal government for their 'unforgivable' lack of action in protecting workers.


'They've known for decades. It's been going on year after year, report after report,' Ferguson said.

He added: 'And to be candid, they have to live with themselves on that. I ask the question all the time, 'How many more workers have to get sick at Hanford before they do something about it? How many?' Please ask them. I really want to know.'

The DOE issued a statement saying their primary concern is worker's safety.

And there is hope since $50million was invested this year in improving air monitoring at the site. The government contractor has also reached an agreement with its workers' union to provide air tanks to all workers, something experts say could lessen the chance of exposure.
