Re: Yucca Mtn. This should raise some hackles



For some reason, this question called to mind the current advice offered
to organizers of wilderness/camping excursions.
Rather than providing the traditional midden consisting of a trench and
seats,
one is adjured to advise each participant to locate a new place at a few
minutes
walk from the campsite, for every defecation, and to dig a hole, use it and
cover it after one use.

Apparently, the biosystem handles low concentrations of human waste more
successfully than central dumps.

Leaving it where it is increases Radon exposure with some statistical
probability of increased numbers or Radon induced cancers.
