  I always love the “mysteriously” factor associated with, the “resigns” incident. It’s everywhere. The low level whores are taking the fall for their masters.

  Add to that the ["Officials not providing any details"] and you have the control factor.

  I understand that assassins (i.e. killer, murderer, hired gun‘s) are well funded.

  Anyone have hope in the scum of Wash D.C?

  Is it just me, or does it seem like God is calling our bluff? Safe nuclear power plants are impossible.

    ‘The powers of the Gods in the hands of children’. We are so arrogant as to think we can control atomic energy or our own internal energy (greed). Learn to live without the need for this kind of power.

    All the best,

  He’s realized the whole place is contaminated with Plutonium and that they plan to do, or can do, nothing about it when the rains come.

  The plutonium and other contaminants

  It’ll wash into the Rio Grande and poison about 150,000 people (including animals, birds and other wildlife).

  http://www.ananuclear.org/Portals/0/documents/Water%20Report/waterreportlosalamos.pdf

  “The extent of groundwater contamination is unknown, including the locations of the groundwater plumes, most of which remain to be identified. One know groundwater plume emanates from Technical Area 16, which was a center for research in high explosives. Tritium has been found in the deep aquifer beneath LANL along with high explosives contaminants and perchlorates. The extent of the plume has not been determined.

  Many of the laboratory’s operations required hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials, such as plutonium and uranium and high explosives. Use of these materials resulted in the contamination of the facilities and, in some cases, of the surrounding environment. Waste discharged or buried from past operations contributes greatly to the contamination. The principal method of release of contaminants is through surface water runoff. Due to the semi-arid climate and great depth of groundwater beneath the site, on site contamination is primarily confined to the soils and surface water. However, alluvial aquifers are locally heavily contaminated and perched waters are somewhat contaminated as well.

  more insanity from the nuke industry. i guess they finally have realized that it is impossible to clean up some types of radiation contamination. quite tragic all things being equal.

    No problem, the nuclear industry, lead by TEPCO just announced that by 2050 all the radiation in New Mexico will be cleaned up by technology that will be invented between now and then. The illustration looks like a outdoor dirt Roomba, itself powered by the very radiation it sucks up. Gosh, can’t wait…literally.

    paulie906:

    I make the same comment as on the other thread: As I said, the sodium solution did not work. We are still paying to have that mess cleaned up in California. Who is this raving jimstonefreelance? He’s pushing “clean” nuclear power here??? lol.

  He knows too much, and his promise of silence is not enough for the muckmucks.
  A little Rattlesnake Venom and DMSO on a door knob to simulate a Heartatack or his car will be found running on the apex of a Tall Bridge, the door open and a suicide note inside. So many times such is the case for a situation such as this.

    Doesn’t take much of that snake venom. I knew a roughneck on a rig who got a flat from running over a rattler heading back to town. Scratched his finger on a fang embedded in his tire while changing it and died.

  His address will be public record. I would be interested to know if his house is on the market, and if he has a great desire to see northern Montana.

  The place has been contaminated with nuclear waste for years.

  I Believe they have had many rains.

  Which would mean, the groundwater probably has been contaminated for quite some time now.

  Good grief, what have they done to this earth.

  Wherever there is a nuclear site, there is waste. Who knows where all their dumping sites are? This is not about a story of one place, this is going on all over.

  We are not even hearing about this on the media or our officials.

    I cannot put into words how frustrated I am over the protection of the corporations, highly wealthy people.

    I see lack of concern by our officials over this earth and our oceans. Lack of concern for the Elderly, Sick, Young, and for our Vets who are on the streets.

    I love this Country, the Freedom, the Constitution, our Privacy Rights, and so on, but we have to admit things are changing.

    I am afraid that our beautiful country and it’s oceans are turning into a contaminated waste. Thanks to the officials who are run by the people who own the corporations.

    There are a few officials like Senator Bernie Sanders and so on, who still fight the good battle and I do give them so much credit.

    I’m not saying anything new here.

    We know there is radiation here, even from our own plants.

    Much more now that shrubs and trees have been burned away allowing for rain washes and winds to move easily into the river and air !

      Yes I agree, unfortunately I believe that it will be much more.

      Is this the first fire that has happened in that area?
