A 55-gallon drum of depleted uranium was found in the area of a dismantled airplane at Opa-locka Executive Airport in Miami, NBC 6 reports.
Hazardous materials crews swarmed the scene of the small reliever airport while Miami-Dade Fire Rescue evacuated a 150-foot perimeter to assess the hazard, spokesman Arnold Piedrahita tweeted.
Depleted uranium is a radioactive heavy metal produced as waste by the nuclear power industry and its controversial use as as a coating in military armaments and munitions has been internationally criticized for decades.
The United States military has been blasted for their frequent use of the substance in overseas conflicts. Ten years after the invasion of Iraq, the toxic substance continues to contaminate hundreds of sites around the country, resulting in the dramatic uptick in cases of Leukemia and birth defects.
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
