Is Nuclear the new Asbestos?

The naturally occurring mineral Asbestos was touted as miracle product used in clothing, building, toothpaste, eating utensils, just about anything and everything with the ignorance that fueled its demand. However the knowledge of its well known dangers were masked by the industry that prospered from its mining.

The story of Benjamin Franklin and his asbestos coin purse so money would not burn a hole in his pocket is well told, yet the taxpayers $31 million as a DIIS sweetener gifted to a community willing to embrace radioactive waste has at this moment started and will continue to erode the social structure, family ties, property values, tourism, the once good name of the town of Kimba, leaving the cancerous tumor that is a forever nuclear stigma.
