	HN Discussion: ↑Praises the GAO report's clarity and communication quality •Clarifies the contamination is mercury-related, not radioactive ↑Laments the wasted two billion dollars that could be saved ↓Skeptical of nuclear technology and long-term waste containment feasibility ↓Suspicious that loosening cleanup rules serves tech/military interests
