(OP) User ID: 76580724 United States 07/29/2018 12:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nuclear watchdog warns of radioactive leak at South Carolina fuel factory Radioactive uranium has leaked through a three-inch hole in the floor at a nuclear fuel factory in South Carolina, contaminating the soil below the plant, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission says. According to the commission, the hole goes six feet down into the soil below the Westinghouse factory’s concrete floor. While the commission cannot yet say whether the toxic substance has leached into the area’s groundwater, agency records show that the soil beneath the plant contains 1,300 times the amount of uranium typically found in soil. The commission learned of the leak on July 12, and still does not have results on recent groundwater tests, which would show whether pollution had washed into the area’s water supply. State Department of Health and Environmental Control officials said that the leak does not pose a threat to local water supplies, but activists are concerned that Congaree National Park, a vast wetland just several miles from the plant, may be contaminated.

Not breaking, but only a couple of days ago... Quoting: Simple27 Uranium Leaked Through Floor of South Carolina Nuclear Plant A nuclear plant in Richmond County, South Carolina with a history of contaminating groundwater has leaked radioactive uranium into the soil below the plant, The State reported Tuesday. South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) officials said there was no reason to believe this leak left the the site of the Westinghouse plant or posed a threat to public drinking water, but state senator Darrell Jackson is calling for a public meeting to discuss the leak and other historic issues at the plant, The State further reported Wednesday. "This is very disturbing," Jackson said. "This is one of the fears that those of us who grew up in that area, and lived in that area, have always talked about. I'm asking DHEC to get to Westinghouse officials and let's have a public meeting, not just with elected officials, but we need citizens there also.''

"I don't know of too many people too receptive to living in the area when they know the groundwater is contaminated." ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

Also, If you live in the New England area, I'd be very worried about the growing amount of uranium (way above safe levels) that's found in your aquifers (the place where your water plants pump up water for your homes).

User ID: 72921143 United States 07/29/2018 02:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | IT IS NOT A NUKE POWER PLANT. There is such a lack of comprehension these days even here where one would expect higher intelligence than average. It is a fabrication facility for zirconium clad nuclear fuel rods containing Uranium fuel pellets. They are one of our customers. This could be something, but thenfuel isn't hot there, so I doubt much. YHWH made me free when I was conceived until the day I pass off this physical planet. I would rather die on my two feet, not live on my knees as a slave. "...in this our 3rd war for independence...." |

Kevin D Blanch is reporting it as a melt down, but he goes overboard as to my liking. RadNet turn off their monitoring systems in a wide area shortly after the event.Remind you of the Coastal warning systems a few years ago? It's life as we know it, but only just.
