Biotech Waste Dump
We were shocked and outraged that the San Diego Edition printed a completely one-sided, pro-nuclear/biotech industry article on the proposed Ward Valley “low-level” radioactive waste site (“Waste Dump Is Regarded as a Test of City Support for Biotech Firms,” March 31). Not one word of the story was devoted to the point of view of those who oppose the Ward Valley site for several valid reasons. You should understand at the outset that many of the opponents do not oppose a repository for medical and biotech radioactive waste. We believe that Ward Valley in the Mojave Desert is the wrong site, that U.S. Ecology is an incompetent contractor, and that the state Department of Health Services is proposing outdated technology.
