Mulberry, the Worst Nuclear Waste Accident in the history of the United States


Mulberry, the Worst Nuclear Waste Accident in the history of the United States

As a comparatively new comer to Florida, I, like most new residents, are unaware of the environmental dangers facing not only Florida’s water, but the drinking water of the entire East Coast of the USA. 
I wasn’t aware that the Mulberry Sinkhole was the 2nd gypsum stack failure, the first was at Piney Point, of which the State authorized the pumping/dumping the radioactive toxic waste from Piney Point into the Gulf. 
I was not aware that Florida has at least 1 Billion Tons of radioactive phosphogypsum with an additional 30 million tons added annually, of which Florida doesn’t know what to do with.  

Yet Governor “Toxic” Scott and “Take the money and Run” Pam Bondi, continue to lobby to bring 22 new Phosphate mining operations, as well as Fracking, to Florida.

It is time to tell Governor “Toxic” Scott and our local, State and Federal elected officials, that enough is enough!  2 of the 22 gypsum sites have already failed. 
Not to mention that, No One is monitoring the abandoned mines/dump sites left exposed to Florida’s extreme weather that continue to drain into our environment unchecked.

It is time to BAN all Phosphate, Uranium, Fracking operations in Florida UNTIL the Billion tons of phosphogypsum and radioactive tailings from all mines, have been safely removed from Florida (and NOT dumped into our oceans), and our watershed returned to its original state.

It is time for the Federal Government to require the monitoring of ALL water sources for radioactive materials and publicly post results to keep residents informed.

Piney Point disaster, and now Mulberry sinkhole failures, amount to the Worst Nuclear Waste Accidents in the History of the United States that will impact Millions of American Citizens well into the future.
