I bet a cancer patient gets more rads of radiation than what is released accidentally in the steam.

Minuteman silos. When you drive through the midwest you sometimes see from the highways a fence with the designation (letter/number A7, O8) They were Launch Facilities. The LCF's were better(More roomy) but also more out of the way.

I don't think the steam was released out of the nuke plant: it was probably contained within the containment shell.

D*mn.
This isn't going to help anything.
Admittedly, slo wleaks are difficult to trace, but it also shows a reason why we need to replace the old power plants. Begin recycling spent fuel.
Start using the energy we're planning on throwing away based on Carter's 70's-era decisions.

Yeah, that poor sailor impaled by a control rod to the top of that reactor vessel in Idaho must have just slipped and fallen or something... that was a civilian operator on a very early design, small Army experimental plant deliberately pulling the rod up into his belly, not following procedures, and not doing anything any rational person would think of.

Of course, I heard that Jack Bauer found the override and shut down the power plant before Marwan could melt it down.

Can't tell from the very bad description in this story.

I know people hear 'radioactive steam' and they think its bad, but remember this -- radioactive steam can cook a hotdog in mere seconds, and will clean your patio deck much more efficiently than a traditional pressure washer.

This is a Boiling Water Reactor, all of it's steam is radioactive.
