Today the giant nuclear weapons lab waited until the last minute and withdrew the controversial nuclear radiation spreading proposal. Bob Sarvey said in a prepared statement late Tuesday afternoon, March 6, 2007 "I just received a call from the head man at the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control district, Seyed Saderin. He has decided under intense pressure from the Lab to cancel the Site 300 permit and the hearing is off. WE have achieved a major but temporary victory. I am sure that the lab will try again and the DU explosions continue throughout the country and the world. But tonight let us savor one small victory." The controversial and secretive Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab detonates in the open air about 200 radioactive "dirty bombs" a year creating deadly and radioactive uranium gas in the heavily populated San Francisco Bay and Monterey Bay Areas of California. About 10 million people live and Hydrodynamic (bomb core) test on firing table at Site 300, 1961. The bright “streaking” effect in work within the large metropolitan areas. the photo is likely from shards of pyrophoric metal, such as Uranium 238, hurtling through the air. The University of California "managed" U-238 is one of the contaminants of concern in the Site 300 Superfund cleanup.
