Huge Stockpile of Nuclear Waste on California Fault Line Threatens U.S.

摘要

Millions of pounds of toxic waste are being buried under the site of a privately owned former nuclear power plant in California. The only problem? Experts warn that it sits on a major fault line - and in a tsunami zone. The San Onofre nuclear plant, located just 108 feet from a popular beach, was shut down in 2015 after a leak was discovered. Now, the Southern California Edison energy company is burying the nuclear waste at the failed site - a move which has been approved by federal regulators.
