Say what you say...mean what you mean
The Tribune offers one of those stories that keeps your faith alive in newspapers: Catching the schmucks talking out of both sides of their mouths.It seems that a day after the head of EnergySolutions Steve Creamer promised the U.S. Congress he would fill no more than 5 percent of its Utah facility with radioactive waste from Italy — EnergySolutions was busy offering to bury British N-waste in... Utah.
Lord Charles Patrick Fleeming Jenkin of Roding told Parliment:
EnergySolutions has told me that, while spent fuel and the waste from fuel reprocessing must go into a deep repository in this country, much of the so-called intermediate waste does not need to be managed in that way but can be either recycled for use in new nuclear [plants] or transported to EnergySolutions' own disposal facility, called Clive, in the Utah desert.Jenkins was intrigued with the idea because it would save the British government tons of money. (And make tons for EnergySolutions.)

Lord Patrick Charles Fleeming Jenkin? Gosh, that sure sounds an awful lot like some name Mike Meyers would come up with with for some british character in an "Austin Powers" movie. Fleeming Jenkin? Are you kidding me? HA!
Listen to the testimony, you can download it if you really want to know what was said. Please, it's either Utah only or everywhere. If it meets the WAC (look it up) then what possible difference can it make where it comes from. It is one world isn't it?
