The worst type of garbage for raccoons to get into.

Now, it's a substance that we all know is dangerous

NARRATOR: They tormented him  until he had a horrifying

accident and fell into a bag  of nuclear waste.

the first superhero born  out of nuclear waste.

NARRATOR: ...we can't show it to you now.

You'll have to see the movie  for yourself.

Honestly, you really don't need to see the movie, 'cause...

his face isn't really that terrifying. This is it.

It's like-- it's like someone melted a candle shaped

nuclear waste, the radioactive and toxic byproducts

from making nuclear energy and weapons is

a serious health hazard, and America has a lot of it.

ANCHOR: There are more than  71,000 tons of nuclear waste

and you get a pile  as big as a football field

or half a football field and 40 feet tall.

The point is, we have a lot of nuclear waste and it's very fun

And look, that is just the waste from nuclear energy.

We also have more than 100 million gallons

of hazardous liquid waste from producing weapons.

And you may live closer to nuclear waste than you think.

One out of three Americas lives within 50 miles

Some of which, like plutonium, is lethally dangerous,

and will be-- will be around for an incredibly long time.

NARRATOR: Even microscopic  amounts of plutonium,

One of the characteristics of it is it has

Plutonium 239, for example, has a half life

It's true, 24,000 years and that just scratches the surface.

It takes ten half-lives for plutonium to become harmless

A unit of time more commonly known as one English patient.

And as any adult with an American girl doll collection

eventually finds out, if you wanna keep something

around for a disturbingly long time, you have got to find

"I cannot live with your murder dolls anymore.

-(AUDIENCE LAUGHS, CHEERS) -"She stares unblinking!"

I'm not the first person to make this point.

there still is no agreement  on where to store the waste.

"We have built the house,"  said one critic,

with no toilets. Or as a realtor selling a Brooklyn loft

is calling it right now, "artisanal composting."

You're suggesting that I shit in that potted plant

while you and I both know that I will do that

'cause this is convenient to public transport,

and has both northern and eastern exposures.

But look, it-- it has been 27 years since that clip

and our country still doesn't have a nuclear toilet.

And it's actually easy to understand how we got

into this situation. Because during World War Two,

we rushed to develop nuclear weapons because we were trying

who, fun fact, pretty much all Americans agreed were bad

we didn't really have a plan on what to do

with all the radioactive byproducts that we produced.

For instance, for years, we actually did this...

radioactive waste and it was in barrels, 55 gallon barrels,

of, uh, radioactive waste with concrete poured over it.

It's funny, the ocean don't glow out there

outside of Red Bank, New Jersey. (CHUCKLES)

Really. 'Cause we dumped a lot of barrels out there.

We didn't just dump barrels of radioactive waste
