Critical Airspace Warning: Extreme Radiation Hazard at Kwajalein Atoll #image_title A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has been issued for Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, warning of a severe radiation hazard. The airspace north of the airport’s runway should be avoided at all costs, as it poses significant risks to life. In order to mitigate these dangers, all flights are directed to utilize southern approach and departure routes instead. This information has been provided by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
It happens when Godzilla emerges from under the ocean crust and transits the nuclear test sites.
I work with people at Kwaj, and zoom meet with them several times each week. I had not heard anything about this by COB (EST) Friday, and will not be back in touch till Tuesday. It does seem odd. Any nuclear material at Kwaj might be small amounts used in cross-field amplifier tubes used in some radars (like Patriot.) or something similar. There are no nuclear plants or weapons there. None.
Lots of discussion on X (twitter)
Hazardous with potential loss of life? That’s some serious radiation if it’s true.
Did someone lose some Cobalt-60 or something?

Wonder what’s up? I’ve been to Kwaj three times in the 90s and early 2000s.

Maybe this is where all the outer space aliens are coming from?
Nuclear weapons test? I thought there was a moratorium on nuclear testing?
So you work for MIT-LL?
“...Did someone lose some Cobalt-60 or something?...”
Naaa....Biden probably stopped by there and farted, and/or lost a loaded diaper. /s
FJB
Contractor there.
another castle bravo?
Leftovers from the nuclear testing many decades ago?
Reddit pilots are talking about it
Something going on with the radar there.
*Per Mr. Kitty
Is the article 70 years old?
Monarch is closing a vent there, but various Titans are right below the surface.
They got a signal from Lee Shaw and want to bring him up before they close the vent.
...probably testing some new fun device.
Don’t fly too close to the sun, Icarus, or
the wax holding your feathers on could melt...
