In a news release Friday, parish officials said that in the Sportsman’s Drive area of Bayou Corne, a stationary air monitor hit 25.2 percent of the LEL on Thursday but officials say the reading is suspicious.
Sheriff Mike Waguespack warned the public Friday not to tamper with the monitoring equipment.
He said anyone caught tampering or trying to feed the monitors some type of foreign source “will be handled accordingly and will be arrested.”

Sounds like a pilot that won't believe the planes gages and drives the nose into the ground. I think he should arrest the gage. 30 days on bread and water. "It's a poor workman that blames his tools."

"U.S. Department of Energy’s Sandia National Lab has agreed to provide technical assistance. As of 19 September 2012" from the situation summary,link below.. (noticed this a while ago, but have not noticed anyone else noticing..decided to flag for attention, why would they be involved if it were no big radioactive deal??)
fyi…Sandia National Laboratories is operated and managed by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation. Sandia Corporation operates Sandia National Laboratories as a contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and supports numerous federal, state, and local government agencies, companies, and organizations.
In case you missed it.. be sure to connect the dots..their addition to the work group sure coincides with a whole bunch of recent test results to air and water..that were of no "significant" risk to the public..but, obviously of enough concern that the contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) got a call to join the group..

They actually have quite a bit of experience in the properties of salt domes, as they have looked at them several times over the years for waste storage. I don't think they've ever gone to the point of trying to get a permit. All those efforts ground to a halt when Yucca mountain was being considered.
Sandia did look at three of the domes in the 'Five Islands' group, but not Jefferson Island in Lake Peigneur. Here's one of Sandia's Reports: "Disposal of Heat Generating Nuclear Waste" published last year.

Too bad Louisiana and Texas Brine screwed up Napoleonville. They could have made a ton of money by hiding hot waste down there if the cavern still had integrity. I'm not much for hiding waste in deep salt or anywhere else, but Napoleonville would be the place to do that. The mother salt doesn't start until around 7000 ft and extends kilometers deeper than that. You could mine a very deep cavern in the stable mother salt. This would be for HLRW, like spent fuel rods. Salt is conductive to heat, so those would be fine down there as long as they had room to spread them out. The residual heat would decay into the salt.
Nobody else could probably use the same dome for anything else, but that's not even a given. Solution mining could open caverns well below the dome ones (1000 – 4500 ft) by going all the way to the mother salt – say 8000 -…

"The most promising method of disposal of high level waste at the present time seems to be in salt deposits."
From pavewayiii's link above.. Yep, Sandia obviously has experience with salt domes and nuclear waste.. and they are on site..
plenty of crap in this doc..which is prefaced by "While the need for increased use of nuclear power in the United States has been recognized…" sure, by the greedy rich, who do not care about our planet, our species, or any other living thing.
Talks about the transurgenic waste facility etc etc etc..
I can not help but think that our current industry has been using the contamination of above ground tests and previous nuke explosions as cover for continuous releases of this toxic crap.. this isn't new crap, this is old crap.. omg!! barf!!
"In situ tests conducted at Avery Island salt mine in Louisiana, beginning in 1979.."

Well, I had to chuckle at the thought. Southern law enforcement is no small challenge. Cajuns and other southern boys can get some pretty wild schemes going. It's just in their nature. I can see the sheriff thinking that some rowdy held some garage solvent under the sensor to make it jump. Some would do that, just to see how they'd react, see if they admitted the reading.
The sad part is that the sheriff probably feels more secure thinking that it was an intentional act of deception, rather than an act of nature, capable of some serious widespread damage. So he acts on safer assumption and gets all sheriffy for the media.

@Paveway III- Brilliant plan… because storing toxic waste worked out so well so far! Let's put nuclear waste in there! We can ask the New Madrid fault to please hold still… I so hope you're joking Paveway.

Paveway III joking? No, he's dead serious and obviously works for the industry. All one has to do is look back at all his previous posts regarding the salt dome situation to see what he is.
