- SAN FRANCISCO -- Bob Sarvey,
a Tracy, California citizen/activist looked at the plan of the Lawrence
Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab and said that it was wrong. Today the giant
nuclear weapons lab waited until the last minute and withdrew the controversial
nuclear radiation spreading proposal.
-
- Bob Sarvey said in a prepared statement late Tuesday
afternoon, March 6, 2007 "I just received a call from the head man
at the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control district, Seyed Saderin.
He has decided under intense pressure from the Lab to cancel the Site
300 permit and the hearing is off. WE have achieved a major but temporary
victory. I am sure that the lab will try again and the DU explosions continue
throughout the country and the world. But tonight let us savor one small
victory."
-
- The controversial and secretive Livermore Nuclear Weapons
Lab detonates in the open air about 200 radioactive "dirty bombs"
a year creating deadly and radioactive uranium gas in the heavily populated
San Francisco Bay and Monterey Bay Areas of California. About 10 million
people live and work within the large metropolitan areas.
-
- The University of California "managed" Weapons
Lab had requested to go from detonating 1000 pounds of radioactive uranium
and tritium bombs a year to 8000 pounds a year on November 12, 2006. The
request was approved by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control Board
in nearby Modesto, California.
-
- Bob Sarvey objected and filed an appeal. So did a large
housing development near the radioactive bomb site in Tracy, California.
The developer also withdrew from the case today, March 6, 2007.
-
- Manhattan Project and Nuclear Weapons Lab retired staff
scientist Marion Fulk said today about the withdrawal by the Nuclear Weapons
Lab "Now they can put those deadly radioactive explosions that release
uranium and tritium into the atmosphere underground."
