...drop its cargoes at points about 200 miles due east of Cape Cod, 105 miles south-southeast of Cape Henry, Va., 120 miles southeast of Sandy Hook, N.J., 240 miles southwest of Los Angeles and 150 miles west of San Francisco. Diving tests have shown that most of the hot material remains sealed off in the containers, but some leaks out, might yet show up in seafood. Oceanographers and marine biologists are studying the effects wrought on the radioactive graveyards by such phenomena as bottom currents, movement of bottom sediment and the upwelling of bottom waters. AEC is also concerned...
...Land. High-energy waste material from nuclear reactors at Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, Richland, Wash, and other places is much too hot for sea disposal. Instead, the U.S. has spent $120 million to build vast, concrete-encased underground steel tanks, which hold a total of 65 million lethal gallons. The largest concentration is at AEC's Hanford Works at Richland, where tanks hold 80% of the high-energy waste in the U.S. It will remain dangerous at least until the year...

Just two weeks before, each man had been nicked by the bulls' wicked horns; now they were back, aflame with desire to star, meticulously careless as ever of the danger that moved beside them on the bloodstained sands...
...jockeys go about their labors beside the building's dolphin-shaped pool, which tails off into the lobby. (Late-arriving employees often enter by way of the diving board.) Station engineers are given to dressing in an ugly, hairy-ape costume and dashing about with another WAPEster in hot pursuit, brandishing a rifle. On calmer days, a costume ape may stalk out to the highway to thumb a ride. Even WAPE's checks are decorated with the simian image-along with a brief message from the keepers: "We will welcome your saving this check as a souvenir instead...
