Will the zipper on your new pants be radioactive?

Hi,

US 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, such as zippers, belt buckles, eyeglass frames, jewelry, watches, silverware, toys, pet bowls and leashes.  This action is being fast-tracked, with little regard for public comment.  The deadline is February 11, 2013.

That's why I signed a petition to Secretary Steven Chu, US Department of Energy, which says:

"STOP DEPT OF ENERGY PLANS to dump 14,000 tons of radioactive scrap metals into the manufacturing of consumer products.  There is no safe level of radiation. Keep nuclear waste out of my home and workplace!"
