Waste management in Nevada
Saturday 7 September 2002
Steel cargo containers of solid transuranic waste are being stacked for above ground storage at the Nevada Test Site Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site. Each container holds up to 50 drums of transuranic waste.

The Nevada Test Site was my special place for September 1999.

I hope there aren't any people living out in the desert in Nevada that like to shoot barrels in their spare time. Could get awful messy.
Still, at least we don't have "Anthrax Island" like the one in Russia (possibly of the same name).
