U.S. Dept of Energy Secretary Steven Chu plans to dump 14,000 tons of radioactive scrap metal into the marketplace for use in the manufacturing of consumer products.
This means that your everyday purchases, such as silverware, zippers, belt buckles, eyeglass frames, jewelry, watches, toys, pet bowls, and leashes could soon be made with radioactive scrap metal.
This action is being fast-tracked, with little regard for public comment. The deadline for a decision is this Monday, February 11.
That's why someone created an emergency petition on SignOn.org to Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, which says:
Stop the Department of Energy plans to use 14,000 tons of radioactive scrap metals in the manufacturing of consumer products. There is no safe level of radiation. Keep nuclear waste out of my home and workplace!

I dont KNOW how it works exactly. I have seen the smelting process of scrap iron and would be very surprised if it can survive thru that. Maybe not good for the people working there tho
More I think of it think the local scrap iron yard just put in detectors to see if any radioactivity in the load of iron coming in the yard.
Guess I need more ed-u-me-cation on this topic

- It's in SOME (not all) stainless cookware, too. Search this at www.mercola.com - a couple years ago he had an article about it.
Since it's wise to avoid all non-stick, the best cookware is
enamel coated interior. No plastics or petroleum coatings at all. Enamel is from sand / glass.
Le Creuset, Chantal top brands. So many others chip. They have outlets and are in some of the discount chains like TJMax, I think.
It's better to have one excellent skillet or pan that will last a lifetime than a bunch that are not healthy for anyone.
I had hoped some of the new ceramic linings would be good but they are not as honest as they should be with they use -- and reviews are mixed with lots of flaking and chipping of the coating. -
