Fracking & Radioactive Socks

Forbes blogger Jeff McMahon finds them strange, but it's really expected if you understand the processes.

P.S. I find this strange:

"North Dakota prohibits disposal of waste that emits more than 5 picocuries per gram of radiation. Filter socks tested by a Williston, ND landfill operator were found to emit up to 47 pico curies per gram, the Sun reported."

"emits" should be "contains".  Waste doesn't emit pCi/g, it contains pCi/g and the pCi's emit radiation.
