I have serious doubts that WV's DEP can safely manage a radionuclide waste facility.
This is based on decades of failures to manage selenium mine drainage, coal flyash leachate, mercury emissions, drinking water contamination, sewage, ethylene oxide analyses, PFOA, & microcystins.

Given Appalachia's epically poor record of "spent coal fuel" (flyash) safety,
it would be foolish to expect safe management of radioactive waste.

Ooooo! We have some on-site spent uranium fuel at Darlington, Bruce, lepreau etc
Sorry… I mean…. Inert flyash. Makes the Best concrete in the world!

Some bowls from the recent wood firing. Raw exteriors picked up flashing and glaze from the fly ash during the firing. Liner glazes were Shino, Nuka and a cinnamon red. #thistleglenpottery #pottersonbluesky #woodfiring #bowls #flyash #mtlebanonpa

A teapot (and a couple of cups) from the recent wood firing. Raw exterior with Shino liner glaze. Exterior surface exhibits the glaze from the fly ash during the firing in addition to flashing from the flame. #thistleglenpottery #pottersonbluesky #teapot #woodfiring #flyash #flashing #mtlebanonpa

Some pots from the last Highlander wood kiln firing - mugs, salt pig, teabowl & breakfast bowl. My favorite piece is a serving bowl but I just couldn't get a decent photo that truly showed the liner glaze. #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #woodfiredpottery #flyash #flashing #highlanderwoodkiln

These 3 wood fired pots (bowl, teabowl & matcha bowl) were just re-fired in my electric kiln to melt some particles of ash that had settled on the interior surfaces in the original firing. Pleased to say it worked! #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #woodfiring #flyash #flashing #mtlebanonpa

Made these plates a while back for my daughter and son-in-law. Fired in my NC wood kiln. I've always loved the way fly ash is drawn thru the ware chamber and settles on the surfaces creating an ash glaze. #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #woodfiredpottery #flyash #plates #mtlebanonpa #shino

Still waiting for the last few pieces of greenware to dry before they get bisque fired. I pulled images of pots that exhibit some movement of the ash glazes I used on them. Two from the wood kiln & two from the gas kiln... #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #ashglaze #woodfiredpottery #flyash

I'm in the process of making enough ^6 pots to fill a kiln for a bisque firing. In the interim, here are some of my ^10 pots from the past. Some wood fired, some fired in a small propane fueled kiln. #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #tenmoku #flyash #teapot #saltpig #mtlebanonpa

A series of wood fired free-form footed centerpieces. Probably the most labor intensive pieces I've made (along with teapots). A friend uses hers as a serving dish on special occasions. #thistleglenpottery #woodfiredceramics #pottersofbluesky #flyash #mtlebanonpa #stoneware #shinoglaze #ashglaze

From a firing of my old Bourry-box 30 cubic foot wood kiln in central NC a while back. The product of several folk who assisted.

In the past, I made a series of stoneware slabs draped over a hump mold that I fired in my wood kiln. Surfaces were textured with a custom made roller stamp. Each could sit horizontally or be wall mounted. #thistleglenpottery #woodfiredceramics #pottersonbluesky #bourrybox #mtlebanonpa #flyash #slab
