It's Just Incidental Radiation

Ya gotta love Dubya's administration. That little $5.7 billion cleanup project in Hanford Washington, to clean up 30 years worth of radioactive waste seems to be going a little slower then expected. (Just as an aside I actually remember having a debate as a Senior in High School, like 30 years ago! (ahem) ...in which I clearly recall the Hanford site. ) anyway the idea is to place the radioactive sludge into a form of glass, to classify it, so that over that pesky 10,000 years during which the waste will remain toxic, won't leach into the ground.

The cleanup is going slow and is just a big problem. Sooooo the brilliant solution is to classify the stuff as "incidental radiation."
If it is classified that way they can just officially leave it where it is...are these genius' or what!
