Los Alamos lab still under threat from blaze, CBS/AP, June 28, 2011 at 7:35 am EDT:
[...] The anti-nuclear watchdog group Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety said the fire appeared to be about 3.5 miles from a dumpsite where as many as 30,000 55-gallon drums of plutonium-contaminated waste were stored in fabric tents above ground. [...]
Lab officials at first declined to confirm that such drums were on the property, but in a statement early Tuesday, lab spokeswoman Lisa Rosendorf said such drums are stored in a section of the complex known as Area G. She said the drums contain cleanup from Cold War-era waste that the lab sends away in weekly shipments to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
She said the drums were on a paved area with few trees nearby and would be safe even if a fire reached the storage area. Officials have said it is miles from the flames. [...]

I’m so glad they’re on a paved area with few trees. Exactly how wide is that clearance? 100 yards? 200 yards? 1000 yards? I know what I would’ve made it. And what in the hell are these drums doing still covered with fabric tents? Have you never heard of hot ash? It travels on the wind, it can catch the tents on fire. So WHY would you not remove the tents for the period of danger?

All should be OK.

Note in their diagrams they show an estimated 480 tons of melted fuel at Units 1,2,3. But we know there is 1,760 total metric tons of uranium at Fukushima Daiichi so it can get much worse if/when they all melt.

I´m really badly concerned about Los Alamos Nuke Laboratory, as they´re reporting now in mainstream media 3 o´clock afternoon news here in germany.
They started one hour ago.

I already found these news in a couple of newspapers.
Take care!

Could anybody of you give me nearer details regarding these 30.000 barrels of water with plutonium stored at Los Alamos Nuke Laboratory?
Does anybody knows something about it?
I just found this article:
http://www.abendblatt.de/vermischtes/article1939193/Atomlabor-in-Los-Alamos-wegen-Buschbrands-geschlossen.html
and these news are really BAD NEWS, if it´s true.

waste (“Abfall”) has been mistranslated into water, so that is NOT true. As a side note, gallons is a volume unit that is not only used in regards to liquid: a xx gallon container can also store dry material. Also by now evacuation has been ordered.
Just follow Enenews and follow the articles ontop an you’ll be informed.

Translated:
The fire reached but also an area of 0.4 hectare, which is known as tech area 49, and in which a series of underground tests with high explosive and radioactive materials have been performed in the 1960s. The laboratory according to the fire in a safe manner was been deleted. Environmental experts of the laboratory would examine the air quality, spokesman Kevin Roark said. The main concern however is the smoke, he said.

There are major discrepancies in the materials accounts for weapons plutonium in Los Alamos Waste. An analysis of official data indicates that the unaccounted for plutonium amounts to
about 300 kilograms.

Off topic, though not in a way.
I increasingly find that my access is blocked to such as YouTube and other sites, unless I reveal my mobile (cell) phone number, though I do not have, nor ever intend to get, a mobile/cell phone.
I now find that Amazon has removed free access to many YouTube/Google vids.
Be very worried.
I am not a paranoid person, but personal experience – not just on the internet – has made me aware that actually paranoid people are actively attacking free expression.
How long before enenews gets shut down?
Something really serious is going on.
I have tried to shut my Facebook account, but that is impossible.
Nor can you get rid of a HuffPost account, from which I was banned for raising questions about 911 and Zionism.
I am inclined to pity Whoopie for being such a fan of HP.
Try saying something like “911 was an inside job” Whoopie.
OK maybe you believe that 19 Muslim non-pilots destroyed the WTC, but just try posting this to HP and see what you get:

@xdrfox; NRC exposee; Please see the new version; I dug out/arranged most of the juicy parts for folks to see how the old Nuke Plants are studded with Plutonium. It is used to increase power in most old shaky reactors in the world making them more vulnerable due to enourmous new stresses from expanded – 3x or more – cooling flow.
In optimal world, lots of General Electric folks would end in jail because of this txt – but alas not here: they will get a medal from obummer… No wonder LATimes quickly deleted the story.

We have been lied to, Whoopie, about everything … from at least Vitnam to the present war on Libya.

I know too well what you are talking about. I have been reading this board daily since the Nukishima fiasco started.
I have never gotten a user name, even though I have wanted to to speak especially to a few posters.
You could not pay me to have a facebook account, I refuse to join any ‘big brother’ places such as google, youtube, etc. I can count on one hand the # of sites I have registered accounts.
I know too much about them simply by reading Alternate sites like this one.
YOU are far from paranoid, don’t worry about your sanity Sir , it is intact.
I am relieved for you that You now see the ‘big picture’ , even thought knowing does no good. My personal experience with HP is that I do have a user name there from some time back, I only posted there a few times, so am far from a ‘regular’.
Recently, Rick Sanchez wrote an article about the FED.(that I saw a link to at another site ) I posed on the second day after the article about this article stating that Mr. Sanchez had much more confidence in Congress than I did, and also that the last person to try to take down the fed was assasinated and he should look over his shoulder as TRUE Journalists did not live long anymore.

Needless to say, this comment was never posted on HP.
I do believe that it was a better site when she held it independently, but with the AOL deal, a certain ammount of control of content and comment was lost.
I know that this post is not about the current subject, and I do apologize for that to the other commenters , and to ENENEWS also.
It was impossible for me not to let you go on and believe that you are the only one that sees the Rapid changes and restrictions that are taking place daily in the US.
Good Luck to you and hope to see you again. You have a good mind and are as frustrated as I with what is going on, we grew up in a much different environment, and this is hard for us to swallow.
(
Again, apologies to all regular commenters and ENENEWS, who has worked so hard getting information to us all, for going “off subject”.
If I didn’t have ENENEWS to rely on, where would I get such information, surely not from MSM. lol

Yes, the changes are easy to see, and internet censorship has come on hard in the past few months.
I expect the the posters on this site will on day meet face to face, at/under the Denver Airport.
