- This NIH in-house training film shows how the largest user in the world of radioactive waste, NIH, disposed of low-level waste from 1949 until 1963. It shows testing; preparation and packaging of waste, monitoring and record keeping for procedures and personnel; and disposal, including use of regular sewer drains, special holding tanks, and ocean dumping. The film also shows and discusses truck convoys' and ships' special requirements for carrying radioactive wastes, especially carbon 14, hydrogen 3, tritium, and cobalt pellets. Shots include: Dr. Howard Andrews in his laboratory, aerials of NIH, exterior of the NIH Radiation Safety Office, the ship Cherokee, cintillation counter, urine sample collection box, film badge personnel monitoring devices, gas flow counter, and geiger counter.

So, that little bunny ended in a concrete block inside a metal barrel at the sea bottom ... when Bunnzilla appears to destroy our cities, don't ask why....
man why they keep targeting bunnies...
analogy for project camelot?
😥 bunnies are mischievous (when bored or attempting to communicate) but clever athletic and even sweet.
Poor bunny.😢
The nuclear death cult propaganda is so pervasive, that you immidiately assume the bunny will turn into bunnyzilla, or super bunny. When truth is as shown by the longerst running experiment in history using fruit flies, any mutations that do occur will always result in negative outcomes. Such as missing wings, legs, head... nothing gained, only lost. What can you expect from an industry that first claimed it was too cheap to meter, then that it was zero emissions, and finally my personal favorite which was its needed for defense... And not as a means to end the world in 5 minutes or less, because ultimately that is the purpose of a nuclear reactor... the heat produces is just a byproduct used to sell the disease/bomb factories.
You can shadow my comment but you will never shut us up. Its a nuclear de àth cùlt, trying to destroy the world for power and profit.
Problem is it will eventually come back to us via the oceanic food chain. I also loved the high tech grouting system I mean honestly two guys lifting a wheelbarrow is that really the best they could come up with?.😅.
Yet they still managed to sell the world a good enough reason to self destruct in 5 minutes or less. You do know the purpose of nuclear reactors was always to generate weapons grade plutonium, the heat used to boil water for electricity is just a very expensive byproduct. And its not zero emissions since the pollutants left behind are so harmful, that no one knows what to with it. Except dump it into the oceans, or burry it. But for now all that waste sits in spent fueo pools or dry storage after years of cooling, just waiting for some disaster to expose it to open air, where even just one of these sites will render the entire northern hemisphere uninhabitable for longer than the Earth had been around.
I live somewhat close to Hanford Nuclear Production Complex in Washington State, and whoever has this nuclear waste site lies to its employees all the time about the high hazard areas. So many people have had to quit work there due to permanent destruction to their health over the years that it angers me. Repairs are ignored on a regular basis from dangerous plutonium and other deadly waste. I just read that Hanford had a collapsed tunnel back in May 2017 that has railroad cars full of nuclear waste that went unnoticed for a week (because workers don’t check the tunnels on a daily basis). Why our government allowed this kind of deadly waste to be started is beyond me....except the fact that Hanford is from the Manhattan Project which was a bomb built in WWII. It seems that many people are sick quite often in the city where I live and my guess is because of nuclear waste leaking into the air close by.
Dark_T I only know what people have said who work there and what the newspaper publishes. I guess a lawyer who is taking Hanford to court for endangering their employees knows nothing either.
@@thekantor1964 replying to an old comment but the core is correct. Tanks at Hanford have pressure release valves to vent off gases. These rogue clouds are relatively well documented and are now being better monitored for. I'd encourage you to look it up.
@@almightydeity They all vent and always have. So do the coal factories.
@@jjk2one What do plutonium production plants and coal plants have in common? Do you believe they both produce power? Only 1 reactor at Hanford produced power, and that was one of the last built.
No, barring an emergency such as TMI nuclear power plants don't vent. This happens to be a passive containment tank for nuclear waste which no power plant would have.
Bella Bella some common sense has to play here though. If you play with fire you're likely to get burned. If people are willing to be anywhere near radioactive materials then they need to accept what's coming. I agree that the workers are lied to but this is how scammers work as well. As long as the hype is believable,people don't question it....people are lazy.
10:42 'children sized concrete burial vaults' damn
the failure of protecting people from the waste is shocking, no wonder cancer rates are so high
its not shocking it is simply not needed, hollywood movies make everyone think its deadly radiation but it is not, a passenger in a high altitude airplane gets more radiation than these guys handling depleted isotopes!.
The Shocking part is the fact, they think dumping this shit in concrete vaults and than into the sea is really a solution!, its just creating a new problem 50-60 years from when they did this!, this shit should be burried deep underground, not fucking dumped in the ocean!!

For people viewing this video,
1. Concrete is fairly durable underwater so there is not much to worry about for things physically leaking
2. This is a video for disposal of hazardous materials from a lab and hospital not a power plant
3. This is from 1959, there are rules put on place for disposal now
4. Dumping in the U.S was more strict than other places
They've run out of places to store "low-level" waste. How close are you to its extra leftovers ?
@@daleneparole1502 We definitely have not run out of places
@@RFDeadKey, where's the next place, that's "legal" to dump ?
@@daleneparole1502 Do I look like I know that? I don't work for the NRC
@@RFDeadKey, First off, I cant see you...So I don't know what you "look like".... and from your comment from 6 months ago, I beg to differ. Theres a possibility you are employed by that industry
Insane
USS Independence at the Farallon Islands Radioactive Waste Dump outside of San Francisco Bay
That is so cool, dumping that stuff 6000ft below the surface of the sea. For all the ones concerned about health risk or any other type of risk from this radio active waste, feel free to dive down 6000ft to make sure all is well.
Why does she wear covers on her feet but no gloves on her hands????😱
She DOES have gloves on.. those new fangled clear plastic ones..
You can see it on her wrist area
No protection for the less skilled workers. No biggie, you are just pouring concrete into radioisotopes. Hold your breath...
Holy crap
17:10. A BLACK SCIENTIST!!!! IN 1959!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Hes working for the oppressors and Not for a good cause so of course. They want more black people to work jobs bro. They want us to become apart of Babylon instead of following our aboriginal ancestors, living in nature
And Using all eco friendly machinery and substances
He was probably white before working there with zero protection.
Dump the waste in the sewer system lol jeezus
Feel very sad watching those metal cases full of poison drop into the sea. Now I understand.
So the processing was done by a bunch of building site workers in a car park tipping concrete from a wheel barrow into drums with random waste placed in them. It's then loaded onto a boat by sailors wearing no protective kit.
NAvy is still dumping radioactive waste into Pensacola FL shore
at Toxic Tommys we glow with gusto......
The bunny ;(
😢
Have all those waste drums busted open yet?
This is indeed a clean energy.
And these people are still in charge of our safety because why???
All of these people are dead
@@hoondaily270 phew.. finally! I feel safe enough to sleep again! Thank you Eisenstein for figuring that out.
@@hoondaily270 It was 60 years ago, what's your point?
most worried about the Cobalt-60 pellets.
We are pretty much doomed. I know the powers that be wonder why we dont all just start dropping dead like flies. Now they are curious to how we keep living and have started experiments on that now
We've come a long way in terms of safety standards.
anyone know how many of these “vaults” are buried, and if there are plans to recover them, and bring them into a more stable location?
Presumably most of them have either had their content decayed or are not considered sufficient risks to recover the waste.
My grandfather said there were ships filled with drums of nerve gases taken off shore and filled with concrete to encapsulate them and sunk off new Jersey . He was a staff sgt. I asked him about recovery and he said it's impossible and far more dangerous to disturb any haz waste .he was a chemical engineer .

Disposal...what? AT SEA ?
hasaheadachenow Shirley you jest! No joke. That’s what was done in the 1950s.
Blows my mind how well this was taken care of back then... And this was all before the damned EPA at that! I really am unsettled though. I really wonder where some of this sh_t is now. In the wrong hands... :(
As they said, it was intended to be so easy that there was no temptation to just dump it down a drain... Because otherwise it would be hard to remind people to take care.
They put it in the waters,,,
Pobre conejo murió irradiado y enterrado en el mar
The amount of idiocy in this comment section is harming me more than that nuclear waste.
Oh my the beaches around Norfolk Va, my family home, are likely glowing in the dark by now...
Another way to dispose of nuke waste is loading it all in a rocket and aim it toward the sun !

The pride they put into documeting thier carelessness is remarkable. And this does not only concern this american documentation...
The only thing they emphasize they do carefully is documenting stuff. The rest is a mirror of its time, hillbilly-handling radioactive waste. Co-60 is not medical low contamination type low-level-waste, those are used up sources that will emitt hard gamma radiation over some decades. And i highly doubt that some sketchy backyard concrete mix left to dry in the heat of the sun is going to harden without cracking, rendering it useless.
Godzilla not happy ! 💥🦖 🤣
yep. right in the sewer system.

I find it funny that no one does what in the video in the real world
Criminals and assassins be damned by God in eternal for what you have made.
Children size concrete vaults hilarious
I laughed to but in a wtf way. Somthing wrong with these people. They dont give a fuck
Knew this film would be bad, but Jesus Fuckin Christ. The military is so fucked up. It blows me away to think of what year this film is from, and all the waste, pollution, suffering, and death, that they've bestowed upon us since then. I mean, what do they do with it? How is there even room for humans to live on this planet still? Can't believe people actually join the military voluntarily still. You couldn't pay me enough.
That's OK, You probably couldn't pass any of the tests-be it physical or mental.
Wouldn't want to.
'WE' are sooooo fucked !
no doubt, this was fucking shocking. Nuclear power was never clean, nor shall it ever be, just steel drums to rust out........my god.
lacrymal1
If it wasn't for the military, you wouldn't be ******** about it on the internet. Although we have learned much more and won't send troops to be tested. Maybe for biotech.
I wonder what the real practices for dealing with radioactive waste. Its too unsafe to use, Fukushima in Japan is still spilling radioactive water into the ocean, cancer rates will continue to go way up. This is why I haven't eaten sea food since that disaster in 2011.
I have tested every tin of Tuna I have eating for years and have found fuck all !
Radioactive water? You mean tritated water? Did you know it occurs naturally? Did you know the sea water contains uranium naturally? Do you really think a few hundred thousand gallons of radioactive water is going to make any difference once it mixes with the sea? That the fish are somehow contaminated? Believe it or not your basement is more radioactive then any fish! It’s full of radioactive gas (radon). Also tritium is a alpha emitter and a sheet of paper will stop the radiation. Don’t believe these scare tactics the left are always pushing. According to that crap we would all be dead 10,000 times over! Don’t get me wrong a large dose of radiation is very bad for your health and can be fatal, but small amounts are not harmful. The whole universe is radioactive including the earth and including you and me!
Hell the Salmon all died at sea. NONE LEFT TO EAT

@@Trump985 NUCLEAR WASTE IS far FROM "NATURAL" & NOT "SAFE" stop LYING to yourself
In fairness the united states seemed to dump correctly, europe just threw it off boats off west Africa and barrels even surfaced washed up on land and the barrels where opened from salt water corrosion
Just chuck the nuke waste barrels in active volcano. Worlds most effective incinerators !
Uncivilized society :/ I don’t see the duck tape for the water pipes.
the measure of the radioactive material with that silver tube is so safe and secure as the masks and the temperature measure done to people to prevent covid-19
cancer kills
Idiocy is curable. Maybe look into it.

Keep our children safe.
People really need to educate themselves... The amount of comments from people who have little too no understanding of the topic...
Shame that the topic/subject of nuclear power and the subsequent handling of nuclear waste is so misunderstood. If people only understood it better than i assure you we wouldn't need to give up plastic or need to worry about the state of the environment.
As it is, you all seem to buy into the BS so sadly that day will never come 😢
I hear there many safer ways to get electricity....
the cope in this comment section about how "okay" this was/is lmao
Yeah, government scientists. An oxymoron that will keep us safe for.... Oops, I'm dead.
Oxymoron doesn't mean what you think it means. Get a dictionary.
Without governments, you don’t have the MONEY to support huge science programs. Jesus, do they actually have schools anymore? Have you attended one?
holy fuk world done. 120million yr Half-Life and we make that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kind of them to provide us with exact coordinates of these materials for at least one specific dump.

Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like they're putting in about 10x more energy, than they're getting out.
This is nothing more than Plutonium manufacturing for nuclear weapons.
Pat on the back 'success' music at the end? WTF.
