“Since early July, there have been indications, including the discharge of cooling water, consistent with the operation of the reactor,” the report said, according to the Journal.

The Journal reported that the report said the agency found the activity at the plant “deeply troubling” and that there are also indications that a nearby laboratory is being used to separate plutonium from spent fuel that’s been removed from the reactor.

They’ve been out of the news all year and I’ve been wondering when we’d see them go for the headlines. This isn’t it, but I’m sure we’ll hear from them before the end of the year.

I guess Romney will blame this on Trump as well.

>inactive for years

inactive since 2018. Who was president in 2018 that might have convinced them to mothball the reactor?

I can’t believe China hasn’t invaded Taiwan yet.
Japan’s probably the only reason.
