【27】______ inconvenient it may be for governments to publish all the facts, they have no moral excuse for not doing so, 【28】______ they think they are acting in our best interest. At least some of the facts are known, even though they are not widely reported.
Nuclear reactors produce radioactive water and gases in vast 【29】______ . What 【30】______ all this waste? It is 【31】______ concrete tanks and stored on tank farms. It is 【32】______ in disused salt mines. It is run into fractured rock. It is buried. It is 【33】______ about in special trains. But even when dumped, it has to be kept 【34】______ by sprinklers to stop it from boiling. And the contents of the tanks are, of course, extremely corrosive. The efforts of a fracture in the tank or a failure of the cooling system would be 【35】______ .
