As government ‘SNAFUS’ go, France has nothing on America. Recently, nuclear waste storage drums stored at the Carlsbad Storage facility began exploding, spewing out life ending hazardous material. Subsequent investigation revealed that management replaced the traditional clay based Kitty litter, mixed with the ‘material’ to stabilize the contents, with organic cat litter for the sake of the environment. Unfortunately, none of those involved passed Chem 101 or bothered to check with the ‘science guy.’ The ‘organic’ contains a variety of vegetable matter whose base chemicals initiated an explosive chemical reaction. More than 1,000 barrels have to be reprocessed.
