RUNIT ISLAND, MARSHALL ISLANDS--AUG. 14, 2018-- More than 40 years ago, U.S. authorities buried plutonium and other waste from nuclear testing in an unlined bomb crater on Runit Island and encapsulated it with concrete. The Tomb, which is in Enewetak Atoll, now bobs up and down with the tide, sucking in and flushing out radioactive water into nearby coral reefs, contaminating marine life, such as giant clams. The U.S. commissioned 4,000 servicemen to begin cleaning the atoll. They scooped up 83,000 cubic meters of irradiated soil, and roughly 4,300 cubic meters of contaminated debris – such as steel, concrete and rebar. They encased it all in a concrete slurry and poured it into an unlined bomb crater on the island of Runit. They capped the approximately 375-foot wide and 20-foot high dome with 357 18-inch thick trapezoidal sections of concrete. A walk around the 39-year old dome showed cracks and weathering in the trapezoidal sections of the concrete cap, vines and foliage snaking up its sides, and at its base, pools of standing, brown brackish water filled with chunks of concrete that had chipped off the cap and rolled down its sides. The key-wall – a wall built of concrete cinder blocks surrounding the base of the dome – is also in disrepair. The wall has crumbled to the ground in some sections, and cinder clocks dot the low tide zone.
