Challenge for the Kansas City Star and/or St. Louis Post-Dispatch



I saw the following post today on Senator Roy Blunt's Facebook page:

"My husband is a retired electrician and has worked all over the country in them. So I think he would know best what goes on in them....  Right now at the Labadie Power Plant in Labadie Mo there is radioactive waste and sludge being dumped on the grounds next to a highway close to the MO river. It has been dumped there for years, in hopes that the river will flood and wash it somewhere else."

I would think this is something one of those two media outlets or a television station or someone in the state should explore. Or the Columbia Daily Tribune or the Columbia Missourian or some such.

Let's see if this is so.

And then, if it is so, is it legal?

Because, even if it is legal, it surely can't be safe. Or wise.

It's right outside St. Louis, just East of Columbia. You can see the location here: https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&biw=1012&bih=479&q=labadie%20power%20plant&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=il

Here's hoping some media outlet does some research.
