Two nuclear waste "dump" facilities located in Memphis

Printer-friendly versionSend to friendSend to friend

Memphis has two nuclear waste "dumps" located here. 

 Many of you knew about R.A.C.E(Race-Radiological Assistance, Consulting & Engineering, LLC).., but its holdings were taken over by Studsvik Processing Facility.  I have attached a document that explains what they take in or you can download it for yourself here. Plutonium, uranium, nuclear radiated  material, alll being brought into Memphis.

 The other facility is under a company called EnergySolutions. Last year they petitioned the federal government to bring in 20,000 tons of nuclear waste.  How much could possibly come to Memphis? You can read about it here and here and here

There are conflicting reports on what they are dumping in the landfills in Shelby County, you can find it here. I think regardless of politics this affects us all. They recently did a story on this issue titled ""Tennessee Loophole" Used For Radioactive Dumping"

These are the facilities:
