There's no place like home - more Jacksonville and Camp Lejeune in the news.



Holy shit. First it was the water, and now it's radiation?! I swear, when I start growing that third arm, at least we'll know why...

EPA investigating waste at Camp Lejeune - Yahoo! News:
"The Environmental Protection Agency is investigating whether cancer-causing radioactive material was buried in the 1980s near a rifle range at Camp Lejeune, the Marine Corps' primary base on the Atlantic Ocean.

A recently recovered Navy document dated 1981 said the material included 160 pounds of soil and two animal carcasses laced with strontium-90, an isotope that causes cancer and leukemia."
