Cracks appear in Runit Dome amid sea level rise in Marshall Islands
"
"But 50 years on, the dome is showing signs of deterioration.

Cracks line its outer shell, while groundwater flows beneath the structure, allowing contaminated waste to wash into the surrounding lagoon."

Cracks appear in Pacific nuclear tomb as sea levels rise

Cracks have appeared in a concrete dome holding 120,000 tonnes of contaminated soil and debris from Cold War-era nuclear bomb tests. 

#ClimateChange May Unearth #ColdWar-Era #NuclearWaste Stored by the U.S. in Other Countries

A new report finds that melting ice and #RisingSeaLevels could disturb #RadioactiveContamination left over from American #NuclearTests after World War II

Excerpt: "Rising global temperatures could unearth Cold War-era nuclear waste created by the United States and stored in other countries, posing potential issues for the environment and local inhabitants, according to a new report.

"An assessment conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released earlier this year examined nuclear waste in the #MarshallIslands, #Greenland and #Spain, three locations with radioactive contamination resulting from American nuclear activity in the decades following World War II. Climate change could cause this nuclear waste to enter the environment, as warming temperatures melt ice sheets that contain radioactive liquid and raise sea levels that could pollute food and water sources with toxic waste, per the study.

"This lingering contamination came from nuclear weapon detonations, including hydrogen bombs, and accidents at numerous sites around the world. Often, the U.S. government stored this waste near the sites of detonation, Robert Hayes, a nuclear engineer at North Carolina State University, says to Julia Jacobo of ABC News. In Greenland, officials disposed of nuclear waste in the ice sheet, and in the Marshall Islands, they placed it in a container with a concrete cap."
