Nuclear fuel rods still missing; more cracks found
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) - Despite three weeks of searching through its nuclear fuel records from the past 25 years, Entergy Nuclear still hasn't found any documentation that shows where the two pieces of highly radioactive nuclear fuel are, Entergy Nuclear vice president Jay Thayer told a state nuclear advisory panel Tuesday.
Meanwhile, plant personnel said 16 more hairline cracks had been discovered in a steam dryer in addition to the four cracks previously disclosed last month.
The cracks are a result of the aging of the stainless steel plate, engineer Brian Hobbs said. They were discovered when the plate was cleaned.
Thayer told the Vermont State Nuclear Advisory Panel that the fuel rod pieces from Vermont Yankee are probably in a low-level nuclear waste site in South Carolina or Washington state -- or in a now-closed federal facility in Beatty, Nev. (snip)

Amazing isn't it? How they uncover so many of these devices but they are never usable, operable, ignitable, viable or connected to terrorism in any way.
SPAIN JUDGE LINKS QAEDA SUSPECTS TO IRAQ INSURGENCY
May 19, 2004 — By Daniel Trotta
MADRID (Reuters) - A Spanish judge accused three Algerians of belonging to al Qaeda and forming part of a network that recruited Islamists across Europe to go fight the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq, court records said Wednesday.
High Court Judge Baltasar Garzon said the mobilizing of insurgents was directed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, whose group has claimed responsibility for the beheading of a U.S. hostage and the assassination of the head of the Iraqi Governing Council.
Jordanian-born Zarqawi has emerged, through a series of attacks and a barrage of recent propaganda tapes and messages, as the most prominent al Qaeda operative fighting the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
The three Algerians, along with a Spaniard accused of collaborating with them, were arrested in various parts of Spain last Friday and jailed on Garzon's orders, pending further investigation.
The judge also drew links between the Algerians and the Hamburg cell that plotted the Sept. 11 attacks.
Garzon accused one of the Algerians, Samir Mahdjoub, of helping others "distribute money to finance the sending of mujahideen to Iraq, using the infrastructure of Ansar al-Islam in other countries like Italy and Syria." Garzon accused Mahdjoub and the other two Algerians, Redouane Zenimi and Mohamed Ayat, of leading a Spanish al Qaeda cell.
The three Algerians had as their main task "lending economic financing to the rest of the European network," Garzon said. They also were alleged to have had "close ties" with Ansar al-Islam, an al Qaeda-linked group operating in Iraq.
Garzon, an investigating magistrate on Spain's special crimes court, has been probing suspected al Qaeda cells in Spain since before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
His investigation is separate from that of another judge into the March 11 train bombings that killed 191 people in Madrid.
Last year Garzon charged 35 people including Osama bin Laden for belonging to al Qaeda. Eleven of those were charged with playing a role in 9/11, which he said was planned from Spain during in the summer of 2001.
LINK TO HAMBURG CELL, RICIN PLOT
Garzon said the Spanish al Qaeda cell included Heidi Ben Youssef Boudhiba, who is in jail in Britain.
Garzon said Boudhiba formed part of a network that was attempting to attack London with the deadly toxin ricin in January 2003. He has asked British authorities to hand over Boudhiba to the Spanish courts.
Garzon also linked Boudhiba to members of the cell based in Hamburg, Germany, which supplied three of the suicide pilots for the September 11 attacks.
He said that eight days before the attacks, Boudhiba traveled from Hamburg to Istanbul with Ahmed Taleb, who Garzon said was a member of the Hamburg cell that included Egyptian Mohamed Atta and Yemeni Ramzi bin al-Shaibah.
While in Istanbul they shared a hotel with two other men who Garzon has charged with belonging to al Qaeda.
Garzon previously said Atta, a 9/11 hijacker, and bin al-Shaibah met in northeastern Spain to determine the exact date of the Sept. 11 attacks. Bin al-Shaibah was captured in Pakistan in 2002 and is in U.S. custody at an undisclosed location.

SMALL POX????
A truck driver with a possible case of small pox. Oh my God. Let's pray that it's something else.
>> The thread you posted the link for was pulled. Any idea why? <<
Not a clue. IIRC, it was just a link to another post on FR. Maybe that post was pulled.
Was he in California a couple of weeks ago?
Wonder why his name is not mentioned in the article.
Another transalation for the caption under the 'skull and the crossbones'..."Felluja is the cemetary of America".
Indeed, praying. I can't find anything else on the story yet.
"The other shoe is dropping?"
We shall see.
Wondering if he stopped at California rest stops too.
Your welcome...stay safe and prepared.
Can't mention the name of a patient. Medical privacy laws.
Oh. That makes sense. While searching for more on the Kentucky story I came across this on the Kentucky news channel --
Local Man Found Dead In Truck Near West Virginia
Cause Of Death Unknown
The body of a LaGrange man was found inside his truck Friday.
John Curnutte, 61, was found hundreds of miles away in Lawrence County, near the West Virginia border, WLKY NewsChannel 32 reported.
Police aren't saying how he died.
They also have not said if foul play is suspected.
What is the California connection?
