Nuclear Reactors 23 - Entergy has money problems
One of the constant refrains heard from corporate officials in the United States is that the free market should decide which businesses succeed and which fail. An interesting theory but the market in the United States is anything but free. There are the governmental regulations that businesses decry but they protect the interests and health of the citizens.

Radioactive Waste 25 - Trouble at Hanford
I have dealt in depth with the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in previous posts. Since the U.S. nuclear program which started in the 1940s, a great deal of nuclear research and production have been carried out at Hanford. Many different types of nuclear waste with varying degrees of radioactivity have been buried at Hanford. Some of the containers are leaking and radioactive contamination is moving into the ground water.
