Radioactive consequences?

Enriched uranium/plutonium underground is pretty safe. Its when it fissions in the atmosphere that becomes a problem. Plutonium and Uranium occur pretty naturally (yes Plutonium despite basic chemistry told you does occur in Nature).
Both decay via alpha which is fairly harmless (alpha is a Helium atom basically). Alpha particles generally can be stopped by paper.
For example in grad school, we had U and Pl sources in our building. We didn't talk about them because the public would go apeshit. But we used them a lot.
Nuc reactors are shielded because of the by products and being underground also shields the rest of us from most exposure. I wouldn't give it a thought.

That's because it wasn't there at the time of the Big Beautiful Bunker Busting Bullshit
Iranians removed it a few days or possibly weeks ago
I think it's obvious this was a lesson, they thumbed their noses at Trump so he and the Israelis walk over there and blow stuff up with impunity
Just read a report that says US "intelligence" said they hadn't removed it. But also that the busters didn't bust anything.
That's 'cause they didn't have a pilot as capable as Maverick.
So our God knows how many tax dollars which could have been used for a lot of good blew, up some rocks. While my SS is going down the shitter.
Sounds like the American public was really pent - up and needed a collective cathartic Freudian ejaculation.
More like the American public can see through this bullshit waste of tax dollars. This was a dog and pony show, a distraction. The status is quo.

I swear, some of ya'll would find discontent if Trump cured fkn cancer
Except he’s not curing cancer. He’s speeding up the cancer that’s killing this country
Dog and pony show or not.
They’ll stop shooting at each other for a few years which will save us money
If they moved the material or not, as long as it goes somewhere not controlled by Iran who cares.
If we only destroyed the centrifuges it’s a win
Plus we’ll have real world data of how deep they go in that environment
If we actually did something great
If it was only a test bed of tech and battle plan great
Win win in my book
