[Greenbuilding] Radioactive Compost

[Carmine Vasile]

Would anyone know if Radioactive Compost kills garden pests faster than consumers? American & Japanese health officials must, e.g.:      "Will someone explain how enclosing a radioactive compost facility will remove radioactive groundwater plumes and prevent further contamination? Recall, "Investigators looking into puzzlingly high radioactivity levels in groundwater near a Yaphank compost facility will embark on a new round of tests this week, officials said." (See "Further tests for Yaphank composting site", June 13, 2011 by JENNIFER SMITH, NEWSDAY)      Have puzzled officials measured the Cs-137 levels in LI Compost sold at Home Depot as was done in Japan?       NOTE: "A resident in Akita Prefecture alerted the authorities when the bag of leaf compost that he purchased from a local garden/home center measured high in radiation with his portable survey meter. The authorities tested the content of the bag, and it had 11,000 becquerels/kg of cesium. At the garden/home center (2 locations) the air radiation 1 meter from the pile of the leaf compost bags measured as high as 0.48 microsievert/hr.” (From "Japan: Radioactive Compost Has Already Spread Wide" http://www.infiniteunknown.net/2011/07/28/japan-radioactive-compost-has-already-spread-wide/) [Online Comment Re: “Limits imposed on Great Gardens composting”, October 26, 2011 by SOPHIA CHANG, Newsday]
