Nuclear Worker: “Imminent flood coming” near nuke plant from Hurricane Harvey… “Potentially catastrophic”… Running out of food… Working tirelessly to manage problems… Area turned “upside down

Psyops. TX attends their plants.

I suspect that they can drop the rods and at least prevent a meltdown. Obviously that would also shut down power production for a while. Nothing like being hit by a tidal wave out of the blue.

Fukashima again?

That's what I thought when I saw it.

[PlateOfShrimp]

Nuclear error?
I have no fear.
Houston is drowning and I live by the Gulf.

(Don’t mean to make light of the terrible suffering going on)

“Fukashima again? That’s what I thought when I saw it.”

That’s what we were meant to think...

Seriously - never heard of this site - but a 3-5 cat hurricane and flooding is not in the disaster recovery plans for a nuke facility???

not buying it.

[catnipman]

bing & google searchs show that this noname website is the only entity reporting any supposed problem like this ...

[zipper]

Is this another site run by some pajama-boy in his basement?

No original information, just alarmism.

[GOPJ]

Publicity save those nursing home residents... so yeah, it might work.

[Seruzawa]

Probably ran out of Zingers.

“That’s what we were meant to think...”

Precisely.

Barring a stuxnet variant, psyops.

A little perspective. The “Nuclear Worker” quoted in the article is not a plant worker but is bringing in supplies for the plant crews. The potential catastrophic events refer to the effects on the surrounding area from the storm NOT from a potential nuclear accident. I am not on the ground at the South Texas Project (STP) but typical protocol for this type of event is to shutdown the the plant prior to winds exceeding a certain level or when a given time prior to landfall is reached. Therefore, the plant was shutdown at least a couple of days ago. Decay heat will have dropped. As long as the diesels remain operating no problems are anticipated. Not familiar with STP but typically coastal plants are designed for direct hit from the maximum credible hurricane and attendant flooding.

Nothing like misleading headlines to stir up unnecessary fear.

MSM wants to know: will African-Americans be disproportionately affected? You know the meme is already being developed.

How can they be running out of food?

The storm has been going for a couple of days!

I hope they stocked up on backup batteries!!

Fukishima would have gone down in history as a masterpiece of safe engineering if ONLY THEY HAD MORE THAN 6 HOURS WORTH OF BACKUP BATTERIES!

I have heard that they even sent someone to the store to buy some batteries, but their credit card was refused- that person should be beaten with a stick.
