Every time the DOE is shown by activists that its incinerators still don't
work, what does it do? More fire!!!
How macho. How stupid. Close the thing down!!!
Incineration is just not the right way to go. It doesn't seem to be
perfectable. And even if perfected, it would still be a dangerous way of
destroying our resources instead of treating them more sustainably.

Incinerator gets burner
SYDNEY - A $100,000 second primary burner will be installed by the end
of the month at a controversial incinerator used to destroy medical
waste.
The second burner was among the recommendations of a study done by
Arun Chatterjee, environment engineer with the provincial Environment
Department.
Chatterjee also recommended operator training and a surprise audit by
the department once a month. Both have been carried out since April.
"They haven't violated any requirements," he said yesterday.
Chatterjee is involved in another investigation into the burning of
biomedical waste at the incinerator, who was opened by the Cape Breton
regional municipality to burn waste imported from the rest of the
province for profit.
The province is trying to determine how unburned used syringes, blood
product containers and other hospital waste were visible in a video
taken at the incinerator landfill. Chatterjee said there should be no
identifiable material if it's being burned properly. - CP
