WASHINGTON STATE TUNNEL COLLAPSE TRIGGERS ALERT AT PLUTONIUM PLANT
Hundreds of workers took cover after a tunnel in a Washington plutonium finishing plant collapsed Tuesday morning.
The tunnel at the Hanford plant near Richland was full of contaminated particles, including radioactive trains that transport fuel rods, KING5 reported.

“What did I offer from the MSM?”
Then where are you getting your information about the nuclear power industry?
Getting my boys started on R-Pi v3 now. Currently the Mazur PRM-9000 is connect to my computer, but that and our weather station will go on the Raspberry at some point. The PRM-9000 is pricy but professional-grade. Values? So far, no surprises and seems consistent with expectations. We’re going to do some prospecting trips with it around Nevada this year so will be curious results.
Sorry, NO! Nuclear is still a very viable alternative. It needs to keep operating.
LIGO staff has been sent home for the day. Nice, sunny spring day for an impromptu vacation.

From someone that keeps track of the funds to manage the down reactors.

After Hurricane Andrew, there was a lot of fear about the state of the plant and pop was down there a lot, checking things out. No problems. He used to tell me he had no fear (post 911) of terrorists using a fully fueled 747 to slam directly into the plant. It could easily withstand such an attack.
The enviro-whacko's were always whining and hand wringing about the overly warm water that the cooling canals were pumping out, but the Manatees loved the warmth in the wintertime! I fished offshore from there and ate the fish I caught. No mercury poisoning for me and I still don't glow in the dark.
WTC site was able to be reoccupied, unlike the DaiIchii or Chernobyl sites which have to be isolated for, probably, forever.
The problem with this technology is that the consequences of an accident are orders of magnitude more profound in not just the loss of life but of the loss of land, contamination of groundwater, increase in radiation and so on. Our species is not yet sufficiently able to execute this technology without mishaps.
Not that we shouldn’t try to master this technology, but its not very forgiving of poor planning/execution or acts of God.
Updated information: Not actually a tunnel collapse but more like an area of soil subsidence over/near the tunnel.
Well that isn’t going to tell you much, especially about reactor design.
One of the major flaws in US commercial policy has been the failure to require a standardized design. Standardized design makes it much easier to identify and correct any problems and could provide economies of scale just like in any other industry
The US Navy has operated its fleet of nuclear reactors for 60 years without an accident. Canada’s CANDU reactors have had no accidents that have made the news. France has been similarly successful.
Open Yucca Mountain and name it after Harry Reid
AHhh, maybe the usual MSM hysteria....
>>You’re not even looking, and your voluntary total blindness has become commonplace.
Do you think they hide these “failed” reactors? What are the failures you are talking about?
More people have died in Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile than in all the nuclear power plant accidents in the United States.
The US is full of failed reactors (a large percentage designed by Babcock & Wilcox) and there is no plan for what to do with them.
This claim, like those in several of your other statements, is not true.
From someone
with a tinfoil hat.
There is no such someone.
I think nuclear power is too useful to scrap because 1 plant out of 450 or so in the world had a devastating meltdown recently.

>> “ because 1 plant out of 450 or so in the world had a devastating meltdown recently.” <<
Is that a deliberate mischaracterization of the problems?
How about looking at the massive cost to utility patrons for playing nursemaid to ailing off-line reactors?
In California, users are paying an average of $28.00 per month in their electric bills for upkeep of plants that cannot be used.
