Comment: People who make bombs to kill people and use the excuse, let us bomb Japan and save a million of our people from war. The government brought the military people home and exposes them to Nuke Bombs! Logic, heck no, how many of our family members have died from these mad scientists! In addition, our government is still killing our families with depleted uranium in the Gulf War! Now nuke water is still killing people! No to Nuke Power! By Mary Manning

Scientists have found radioactive tritium from nuclear tests in Nevada contaminating groundwater off the Nevada Test Site for the first time.
However, state and federal studies indicated the contaminated groundwater would leave the nuclear site within 50 years.
A groundwater sample taken in a new well drilled on Air Force land contained tritium at about 12,500 picocuries per liter, below the federal Environmental Protection Agency Safe Drinking Water Act limit of 20,000 picocuries per liter. A picocurrie is a measure of radiation in liquid.
The Energy Department predicted in February that groundwater contamination would leave the Test Site boundary near Pahute Mesa, in the northwest corner of the sprawling site about 85 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
The nearest public water source to the new government test well, completed Oct. 12, is 14 miles away!
