Dear Friends,
Here's some awful news. Paducah is sitting with a literal mountain of
radioactive scrap metal which they are trying to use again in consumer
products. The DOE "privatized" the Paducah plant, selling it off to the USEC
after it no longer was used to process uranium for the weapons complex. This
has to be stopped!! Regards, Alice Slater
