You can’t guarantee that fire won’t go somewhere… How the hell would that be possible?! This situation was really serious all along. Now that they JUST realized they can’t control EVERYTHING, suddenly it’s a big deal!

He says he doesn’t think the fire will go into lab. How can he say that with a STRAIGHT FACE?

He must be a relative of the same guy who said with a straight face that the Titanic is unsinkable.

How can they say that the nuclear materials are protected?! This has been a really fun ride, but I’m ready to go home now.

maybe on your way out (evacuating) you can all grow a clue and head to DC to protest nuclear power…

How is this possible?……
Fukushima… and now 3 more plants in the US?…
Did you see this video? http://youtu.be/4r2VIN4M6QU It’s the only thing that makes me hope maybe we’ll be “ok” after this. I mean, if we survived 2053 nuclear explosions… what’s a few more, right? >_<

LOS ALAMOS, NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – A mandatory evacuation has been placed on the city of Los Alamos after fire officials are reporting the fire is now threatening Los Alamos.

Still, there were questions about whether firefighters would be prepared if the fire moved into main areas of the lab.
In 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy’s inspector general issued a report that said Los Alamos County firefighters weren’t sufficiently trained to handle the unique fires they could face with hazardous or radioactive materials at LANL.
Lab and fire department officials at the time said the report focused too much on past problems and not enough on what had been done to resolve them. Some problems also were noted in previous reports.
Greg Mello, with the anti-nuclear watchdog Los Alamos Study Group, said the group doesn’t have enough information “to formulate any views on safety at this point.”
“It is important to remind ourselves that the site has natural hazards … and Murphy’s Law is still about the best enforced law in the state,” he said.

This is damn serious and still no major coverage or statements
from Obama. Soon we will see how aroused or how sleep
American will be in the coming days if these two situations
of Fort Calhoun and Los Alamos turn into nuclear catastrophes.
Don’t you think nature is sending us a wake up call. We were
intentionally “put to sleep” by the silence of our government
around Fukushima. Let’s see how successful they will be
when the Missouri river becomes radioactive and areas of
New Mexico too hot to walk on. Something is messed
up on the metaphysical plane.

well the fire it’s headin in the direction of the building with 800 pounds of plutonium in it.
maybe has some cesium,strontium and other little pesky crittersin it.but we do not expect any release of radiation.
it looks like it is heading toward the the virus warfare block with the ebola mad cow and Clostridium botulinum and other little pesky viral critters.
the fire is also heading towards the cia,fema,mossad building containing the dirty nuke suitcase bombs.for the black op’s false flag syrian,iranian and libyan kenetic actions.
but again here at the fema trained fire dept we do not see any reason to panic.
the fire is out of control but we believe in time it will burn itself out.
it cannot burn forever can it?
the vehicle with the underwater body bags was sent here in error, as they are now neaded at fort calhoun.

From a discussion about Americium detection in the U.S. between UC Berkeley Nuclear Engineering dept. (they suggest that they have never found it, so it is not here) and Arnie Gundersen’s buddy, Marco Kaltofen who has detected it, and before 3-11 only found Americium in the soil at Los Alamos.

Americium detection

Our group uses 37 mm 0.45 micron membrane filters drawing air at 20 LPM. The sampling stations are Ibaraki, Japan, Tokyo, Japan, Honolulu, HI, Seattle, WA, San Francisco, CA, Natick, MA, and a new station coming online in Colorado. Filters are screened by NaI or GeLi gamma spectrometry prior to analysis by SEM/EDS. Samples are held for 24 hours prior to analysis to let natural radon and related material cool down some. Particles of interest are universally less than 25 microns in size, and almost always below 12 microns. Prior to April 2011, we had not detected AM-241 in ambient air filter samples, but we have found it, (pre-2011), in Los Alamos, NM surface soils, where particle sizes ran as high as 150 microns.

“Radioactive cesium from Fukushima expected to reach U.S. West Coast in 5 years”
“The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has compiled a map predicting how cesium-137 will spread throughout the Pacific Ocean in the long term. Cesium-137, whose half life is 30 years, is one of the radioactive substances leaking from the crippled nuclear power station.”
