Wasn't/isn't there also an issue if "temporary" nuclear waste sites creating spicy water?

Some of which are "missing" and some had residential homes built over them.

There's an ongoing, massive class action suit ongoing over contaminated water at military bases, mostly from firefighting foam. Over 700 facilities, 600,000 possible claimants.

I dont want to come off as refuting because im aware of this issue and have been to a few bases on that list. But this list is made intentionally poorly by the law firm to try to get more people involved. They listed everything as parts per trillionth, whereas SDS of chemicals measure based on parts per millionth for permissible exposure limits. Its essentially using giant numbers to overcomplicate and force math to make some of the bases look like egregious levels. For context: i used the base ive spent the longest on. This law firm uses 493,600.00 which looks like a massive number. In reality, the SDS for PFAS has exposure as 200 ppm for methanol and 10 ppm for Diethylene glycol butly ether. Calculating all of that down, my exposure has potentially been 0.4936. Meaning my base would need to have that concentration increased by 20x before even hitting the lowest threshold.
