ABC Australia visited this island in 2017, and created a photo essay with some very clear images of its current state and its precarious location.<p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-11-27/the-dome-runit-island-nuclear-test-leaking-due-to-climate-change/9161442" rel="nofollow">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-11-27/the-dome-runit-island...</a>

> “The United States Government has acknowledged that a major typhoon could break it apart and cause all of the radiation in it to disperse.”<p>If this is true, why isn't the US government taking responsibility and fix this, RIGHT NOW? If you're just a typhoon away from spreading nuclear waste in the entire pacific, you better start working on a solid fix yesterday. This is beyond criminal neglect of your waste.
What I didn't get from any of the articles is how long the radiation is expected to be a problem. We are 60 years and its still very radioactive. How many more years before its not?
