So they moved to a more accurate labeling system with regards to the actual danger posed by the waste, so it can be disposed of more appropriately? How is this a story?

- anfilt 7y agoWell the title of article makes it sound like a dangerous change. Really, sounds like fear mongering around nuclear with such a title. What if the article was titled "US to use Global standard for quantifying nuclear waste" Like news does not need to be bad, but when you have a title like this article what does it imply.
