"Here, there and everywhere" is a completely disingenuous way of conveying the truth, that we're working with the Feds for a final, permanent solution for every trace of radioactivity. I'm not sure what they'd prefer.

We've been working with the feds for a "permanent solution" my entire life and I'm one of those scorned boomers. Don't hold your breath.
