A sinkhole has opened up at a fertilizer plant in the US, causing about 260 million US gal of radioactive water to contaminate a part of Florida's main sources of drinking water. The sinkhole, which is about 15. yd in diameter, collapsed beneath a pile of waste material called a gypsum stack. Sitting on top of that stack was a storage pond containing phosphogypsum, which is a radioactive byproduct resulting from the production of phosphate.

Sorry about the huge graphic, but it needs to be this size to read the detail.
PLEASE READ THE CHART BEFORE PANICKING!
And Yes, we are all gonna DIE!... sometime in the net 50 to 100 years, give or take a few.
‘The MSM will be playing find the Republican... ‘
That’s a good one!
Youngest grandson made an interesting comment regarding contamination of water and liberals, saying that libs probably refuse to acknowledge that birds pee and poop when flying over any water but wait to take care of their chores until they are over a bird sanctuary.
This and the colorodo contaminated mine water that polluted the river supplying many towns on the river. This is a play out of the agenda 21 playbook. Poison the water supply and force the population into controllable urban areas. We are on the downward spiral hang on
Just wonder how they are going to spin it so the EPA can say it was preventable and fine them billions.
Who was the geologist that gave the okay for this
project?
The article says the sinkhole is in Mulberry, FL. I drove through Mulberry once, back around 1990. There is so much phosphate mining between Bartow and Mulberry, that the landscape looks like the moon, not like Florida.
[OMG.]
Are you aware you are taking the LORD’S Name in vain whenever You use that?
IIRC the radioactivity comes from Radium in the phosphate.
OMG we are all going to die just like 3 mile island. Which by the way released LESS radiation than you get from a standard dental x-ray.
Eat two bananas and then stay away from any Geiger counters.
This is 3 miles from my house . i have well water oh boy
The total semi-radiative liquid is being reported as 980000000 litres, which translates to 784 acre feet of water - That would have had to have been some pond, but certainly possible from industrial applications. The average family would use about half an acre foot of water a year, the total amount of water we're talking about would be what 6k people would consume in the average year.
As the majority of the material is far heavier than natural water, it's doubtful that anything would be detectable by even the most sensitive equipment more than a mile away from the site.
You recall correctly.

Or that creek in Colorado.
It’s time to depopulate Florida! Load the boats with all your goodies inc golf carts and head for Cuba. Massive takeover of the island by retired Americans will drive the bad guys out.
Give your boats to the Cubans so they can go work in Floria to pay the SS benefits of the elderly who now reside in Florida.
Airline flight crews receive an average annual dose of radiation which is higher than that received annually by most nuclear power plant workers.
It is terrible! In the next 120 years, 100% of the population alive now and exposed to these horrors will DIE!
The New Wales plant is miles from any homes...I believe
About 2 years ago that sinkhole killed the man sleeping...
We MUST begin by registering ALL sinkholes, and limiting their capacity!!!!
