Kuva mu mwaka wa 2012, Minisiteri y’ingufu yaganiriye ku cyifuzo cyo kubaka imyanda y’imyanda iva mu gusenya inyubako kuri Y-12, ikibanza kirimo imirasire yo mu rwego rwo hasi ituruka ku mirimo y’umushinga wa Manhattan ikorerwa aho.
Abayobozi ba federasiyo bahisemo agace k’amashyamba muri Oak Ridge Reserve, hafi ya Y-12, ku masoko ya Bear Creek, yinjira mu ruzi rwa Clinch. Abashinzwe ibidukikije muri Tennessee basuzumye gahunda kandi batanga ibitekerezo mu myaka irenga icumi.
Mu gihe amatsinda y’ibidukikije yemera ko imyanda imaze imyaka myinshi igomba kujya ahantu runaka, ntibisobanutse mu cyifuzo cy’impapuro 100 uburyo imyanda mishya izarinda abantu n’ibidukikije kumeneka imirasire.
Amanda Garcia wo mu kigo cyita ku bidukikije cyo mu majyepfo yagize ati: "Niba wimuye gusa imyanda iva mu nyubako mu ruzi, ushobora kuyikuramo umutungo wa DOE, ariko mu by'ukuri ntuyitoragure." “Urimo kuyikwirakwiza cyane mu baturage.”
Abashinzwe ibidukikije bavuganye na Knox News ntibarwanya rwose imyanda, ariko bakavuga ko ibisobanuro birambuye kuri gahunda bigoye kubibona.
Ibiro bya Minisiteri y’ingufu bishinzwe imicungire y’ibidukikije birakora inama rusange muri Oak Ridge kugira ngo basabe ibitekerezo by’abaturage kuri gahunda zayo zo kubaka imyanda y’imyanda ya hegitari 92 mu kibaya cya Bear Creek. Iyi nama izabera ku wa kabiri mu kigo cy’ikoranabuhanga cya Pollard kuri 210 Badger Ave, Oak Ridge, guhera 6-8 pm.

Ibibazo by'abaturage bijyanye n'ibice bikubiye mu rupapuro. ”
Abashinzwe kubungabunga ibidukikije, ishami rya Tennessee mu ishami rishinzwe kubungabunga ibidukikije ndetse n’abaturage ba Oak Ridge bavuze ko urupapuro rw’imyanda rutakemuye ibibazo byakomeje kubaho kuva umushinga watangizwa bwa mbere ahagana mu 2011.
Guhindura imyanda inkweto n'imyambaro: Laboratoire ya Oak Ridge ihindura umwanda mo lisansi, plastike… imyenda yo mu rwego rwo hejuru?
Bafite ubwoba ko umunsi umwe amazi azarengerwa n’imyanda, ishobora noneho gutemba no gutwara imyanda iva mu majyepfo.Iburasirazuba bwa Tennessee imvura iragwa - ndetse n’ibindi byinshi - imyanda iri mu kibaya cy’imisozi ihanamye ku masoko y’umugezi.
Axel Ringer, perezida ushinzwe kubungabunga ibidukikije mu gice cya Tennessee cya Sierra Club yagize ati: “Baradusubije inyuma.” Twasabye andi makuru kugira ngo dutange ibisobanuro ku bushishozi, ariko ntibabikora. ”
Ringer yavuze ko Minisiteri y’ingufu yananiwe gutanga amakuru y’ukuntu amazi y’ubutaka azanyura mu myanda iteganijwe, ubwoko n’ingano y’imyanda izajugunywa, ndetse n’uko imyanda yangiza Bear Creek, ikurwa ku buryo bworoshye ku rubuga ruzwi cyane. . inzira yo gutembera.
DOE ntiyigeze isubiza ibibazo bya Knox News ku bibazo by’abaturage.Mu bisobanuro byatanzwe na rubanda, Minisiteri y’ingufu muri Amerika yavuze ko itemeranya rwose no kunenga ko imyanda ihari yacunzwe nabi.Baravuga kandi ko batavuga ko aho imyanda mishya itigeze iba byizwe bihagije.
DOE yaranditse ati: "Hariho amariba amagana mu kibaya cya Bear Creek afite amakuru menshi." “Iyo igishushanyo kigenda gitera imbere, igishushanyo kizahindurwa uko bikenewe kugira ngo harebwe amakuru mashya.”
Iyi myanda mishya yateguwe mu rwego rwo kwagura ubushobozi bwo gutunganya imyanda yo mu rwego rwo hasi mu rwego rwo gusukura ibikoresho bya kirimbuzi bimaze imyaka ibarirwa muri za mirongo bisigaye mu mushinga wa Manhattan ndetse n’intambara y'ubutita. Minisiteri y’ingufu muri Amerika ikoresha indi myanda, Ubuyobozi bw’ibidukikije Ikigo gishinzwe gucunga imyanda, kugirango bajugunye imyanda yo mu rwego rwo hasi ya radioaktike.Urubuga rwuzuye 80% kandi ruherereye muburengerazuba bwa Y-12.
Ringer ati: "Bavuga uko bizagenda nta kibazo mu myaka 20." Ntabwo aribyo. [Ikimoteri] cyari gifite ibintu byinshi byuzuyemo imyanda ahanini yajugunyaga imyanda mibi muri Bear Creek. ”
Itsinda ry’abashakashatsi mu by'ubwubatsi muri kaminuza ya Virijiniya ryasanze ko amazi - amazi anyura mu myanda y’ubu - afite inshuro zirenga ebyiri impuzandengo yemewe ya uranium mu mazi yo kunywa.Iyi nyanja itunganywa na DOE ku kigo kiri hafi.
Kuva mu mwaka wa 2011, Ishami ry’ingufu, Ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije n’ishami rya Tennessee rishinzwe ibidukikije no kurengera ibidukikije baganiriye ku myanda mishya. Izi nzego uko ari eshatu zahagaritswe inshuro nyinshi kubera gahunda z’ishami ry’ingufu, kubera ko zidasobanutse neza n’amakuru.Ibi amakimbirane akunze gukora ku bayobozi i Washington, DC
Garcia yagize ati: "Tugomba kwibuka ko intego n'ibipimo EPA na TDEC bagomba kumenya ari ukumenya niba (imyanda) irengera ubuzima bw'abantu n'ibidukikije." Wasize umwobo munini mu makuru ahari EPA na TDEC, kereka rubanda. ”
Umushinga uheruka wa gahunda y’imyanda iteganijwe ukomeje kwibasira EPA na TDEC kubera ibibazo bisobanutse neza n’amabwiriza. By'umwihariko, niba gahunda ya DOE yubahiriza itegeko ry’amazi meza n’amabwiriza ya Tennessee yo kurwanya iyangirika.
Garcia yavuze ko impapuro zavuguruwe zagejejwe ku baturage zidakemuye izo mpungenge zikomeje.Niba imyanda igomba gukingirwa, ishami rigomba kumenya mbere y'igihe ubwoko n'imyanda, ndetse n'imbibi z’isuku y'amazi. .

Iki cyari ikibazo cy’ahahoze hajugunywe imyanda.Ubugenzuzi bw’ishami ry’ingufu muri Amerika bwerekanye ko ubushobozi bw’imyanda yuzuye bwuzuyemo imyanda idafite ibyago idakeneye kujugunywa aho. Ubugenzuzi bwa Tennessee bwagaragaje ko abashoramari bashinzwe imyanda iriho ubu batazi inshingano za leta zo kugabanya imyanda ya mercure, kandi ntibashoboye gutanga amakuru kubyo imyanda yajugunywe mugihe cyubugenzuzi.
Umujyanama w’Umujyi wa Oak Ridge, Alan Smith, yandikiye mu ruhame Minisiteri y’ingufu muri Amerika mu mwaka wa 2018 ati: “Niba umwanya uri mu myanda ihari wakoreshejwe neza, Minisiteri y’ingufu ntishobora kwihutira kubona imyanda mishya. Imyanda. Kuba DOE yaratsinze ntibitubwira ibipimo ngenderwaho byo kwakira imyanda kuri iyi myanda icyo ari cyo, kandi ni igitekerezo kigabanya icyizere abaturage bafite cyo gufata icyemezo cya DOE. ”
Dale Rector, wahoze ari umukozi wa TDEC wakoraga mu gace ka Oak Ridge kubungabunga imyaka 24, yavuze ko ikibanza gishya kitigeze kibona ibipimo ngenderwaho byo kwakira imyanda.Ibi ni ingenzi mu gutegura imyanda kugira ngo hirindwe amazi y’ubutaka no gusuzuma ingaruka z’ibidukikije n’ubuzima rusange.
Recteur ati: "Niba amazi ayinjiyemo, agomba kuyivamo." Bitabaye ibyo imyanda izaba yuzuye nk'iyungurura icyayi. "
Uyu muyobozi mbere yari yarasinyiye ibaruwa ifunguye hamwe n’abandi bakozi bahoze ari abakozi ba TDEC igaragaza impungenge zatewe no kudasobanuka neza ku bijyanye n’umushinga w’imyanda. Muri imeri yandikiwe Knox News, yavuze ko urupapuro rushya rwatanzwe na DOE rutakemuye izo mpungenge .
Rector yagize ati: "Ubusanzwe inyandiko zafashwe ni inyandiko ngufi ivuga ngo:" Twese twarabyemeye. " . ”
Amakuru ya Knox yabajije niba TDEC, EPA na DOE bumvikanyeho.Umuvugizi wa DOE Ben Williams yavuze ko iki kigo “cyakoranye kandi cyumvikanyweho” ku bibazo byavuzwe mu mpapuro.
Umuvugizi wa TDEC, Kim Schofinski yaranditse ati: “Mu gihe habaye ubwumvikane bwo mu rwego rwo hejuru ku bibazo byakemuwe ku rupapuro rwabigenewe, hagomba gusubirwamo mu buryo bwuzuye inyandiko y'ibyemezo (umushinga wa kabiri) mbere yuko TDEC yemerwa ku mugaragaro.”
Mu bisobanuro byatanzwe ku mugaragaro, DOE yashimangiye ko "izuzuza ibisabwa byose bijyanye n'amabwiriza ajyanye no guta mercure" kandi ko ibipimo byo kwakira imyanda "bizakomoka ku mategeko ariho ya Leta na Leta zunze ubumwe z’ibidukikije."
Virginia Dyer, umuturage wa Oak Ridge, umunyamuryango w’ubuvugizi mu kubungabunga ibidukikije ndetse n’uwahoze ari impuguke mu bidukikije muri Laboratwari ya Oak Ridge, yatangaje ko inzira zose zababaje.
Dyer yavuze ko ibi yabikoze kugira ngo abana be n'abuzukuru be babeho neza muri Oak Ridge.Yavuze ko yifuza gukorera mu mucyo kugira ngo abaturage bashobore gufata ibyemezo byuzuye bijyanye n'imyanda. Yifuza ko Minisiteri ishinzwe ingufu yakingura nyuma yo kumva ibitekerezo rusange muri iyo nama.
Dyer ati: "Ntabwo numva ko ndi umurwanashyaka." Ndi nyirakuru. … Ndizera ko Oak Ridge azwi nk'izina rikora ibintu byiza. ”
