  • Recycling Contaminated materials In late August, 1997, the U.S Department of Energy (DOE) contracted with a company called BNFL to recycle 126,000 tons of radioactive-contaminated metal, including 6000 tons of heavily uranium-contaminated nickel, from the gaseous diffusion isotope separation buildings at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers (OCAW) has filed a suit to prevent the contract from going forward, but their concern regards worker safety and does not bear on the extreme threat to computers and the computer industry.

But the transport of nuclear waste is only one part of an issue which is causing a great deal of concern......
