I hope somebody can explain what that "waste material" can or cannot do. I don't believe it can cause any explosions, but I'm wondering if it can cause radiation sickness or other icky stuff ..?? Anybody know ..??High-level waste (i.e., stuff that emits heavily) can cause radiation sickness.
Low-level waste is likely to give you cancer in 20 years or cause you to have FLKs.
FLKs = Funny-Looking Kids. Also known as NFN (Normal For NorfolkP).
