When Asked for Proof, the Associated Press and Arnie Gundersen Come Up Empty

It's been a full week since we first raised some questions about a claim made by Arnie Gundersen about soil samples he took in Japan recently. Gundersen claims the lab results he obtained indicated that the soil would be classified as radioactive waste here in the U.S. -- a statement that was reported by the Associated Press in a subsequent story. We had our doubts about the story, so NEI decided to do some investigating of its own.
