The California wildfire is tearing through a nuclear waste site and authorities are accused of covering up the threat As the wildfires continue to ravage California, fears are mounting that the fires may have caused airborne radioactive toxins to spread after the blaze has torn through a nuclear waste site.
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control claims there is no reason to be concerned of “any risks other than those normally present in a wildfire situation,” although locals aren’t so sure, pointing out that the agency has a history of dragging its feet in cleaning up toxic sites and accusing the organization of a possible cover-up.
