If you think the problems we have here in Martha getting Ashland Oil to clean up their radioactive mess are unique, you're wrong. Check out how ExxonMobil does oil field remediation in Texas... with a can of spray paint! A radioactive tank battery was marked "NORM Containing Equipment." Then this marking was spray painted over so now it's not a problem anymore. Never mind that there is still radioactive material in that tank battery.
Now Ashland would have (and did, just check out the video above: "Martha Reclamation Program: Dump and Run") just dumped the contents of those tank batteries into a pit and covered it up with dirt. Either way the radiation is still there, well, radiating. Anyone other than state regulators think this is OK?
