Senile Reid Put To Shame Again

From the LVRJ: Sen. Harry Reid’s stance that it’s alright to bury a ton of uranium-tainted waste from Oak Ridge National Laboratory at the Nevada National Security Site is hypocritical, a Nye County commissioner says.
“What we’re concerned with is the sheer hypocrisy of Sen. Reid, who said Yucca Mountain isn’t safe but is OK with putting this fissile material 40 feet underground. The hypocrisy stinks,” Commissioner Dan Schinhofen told the security site’s community advisory panel Wednesday night.
Schinhofen was referring to Reid’s approval of disposing 403 canisters containing long-lived and potentially deadly enriched uranium from the Tennessee lab in a landfill despite the senator’s long-standing opposition to entombing the nation’s highly radioactive, spent reactor fuel in Yucca Mountain, 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
The low-level nuclear waste landfill, in Area 5 at the security site, is 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The planned Yucca Mountain repository has been quashed by the Obama administration at Reid’s urging.
The security site intends to accept the Oak Ridge waste as low-level waste even though most of it, uranium-235, the atom-splitting material used in the first U.S. nuclear bomb, has a 704 million-year half-life.
Some of it, uranium-233, requires heavy shielding because it decays into “radiotoxic” stuff that could be used to make a so-called dirty bomb.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/government/nye-county-official-blasts-sen-reids-hypocrisy-nuclear-waste-disposal
Not only this, but Reid refuses to explain why Nevada is getting many shipments of nuclear waste and we still have not reopened Yucca Mountain.
Harry Reid is personally responsible for the 10,000's of jobs lost at Yucca.
May he visit the devil very soon.
