Yikes! Best do some research on this to see what the consequences may be! Are we safe, I wonder?
Pretty sure after the feds step in we won’t hear anymore about it. Time to buy a geiger counter...
It is reported on that Hanford alert as though soil subsidence above and along the location of a buried rail tunnel (used to transport plutonium during its production process) has indicated the tunnel collapsed. Therefore, it is assumed for safety sake, that dangerous pollutants in the tunnel, may have been expelled as dust, prompting the lock-down indoors.
Plutonium dust is about as deadly a material as humans can come in contact with in such a situation. A single one micron dust particle lodged in a lung will kill you.
hell no we are not safe...
I have done work at fernald plute plant, nerve and mustard gas bunkers, aberdeen proving ground..let it be sufficient to say many sites, not all are severely lacking in protocol, and the labs look like 3rd grade chemistry sets..failure on nerve gas bunkers can kill a good bit of the east coast..they probably wouldn’t tell anyone to avoid the panic..
here is a true story, a technician in my old company received a device colorimeter they used at aberdeen proving ground.there were no warnings etc, he opened the box and began working on the device, about an hour later his arm swole up and he was starting to have trouble breathing, rushed to the hospital, hospital said it looked like poisoning of some sort, so they called aberdeen, they said they could not comment, the affected tech almost died before an agent showed up with an injection, said nothing, gave him the shot and left...does that sound like a government you can feel safe about?
The Government wouldn’t say it was safe if it wasn’t, just ask John Wayne, Susan Hayward, Dick Powell, and Karen Silkwood.
If the Hanford plant can take out Seattle, I’m all for it.
Mayor not running again because he’s a communist nut and may face charges of molesting young boys.
