Another nuclear flood?

[Wild Cobra]

A nuclear power station in NM is flooded. Any of you worried?

I'm not.

The eternal assumption, proved by Wikilkeaks, is that the govt is ALWAYS lying to us.

btw, EPA has quit monitoring Fuku. radiation on the west/northwest coast. They don't want to hurt the BigFarma boys.

what's there to worry about?

Nothing. They have had time to get ready for this flood. The Tsunami in Japan took out all power distribution lines as well.

I figure some here will choose to panic. I'll sit back and laugh.

I urge you all to click on the link and see how hard WC fails. Its pretty bad as to I have to wonder if he even read what he linked.

Let me set the backdrop here. There are no floods of any type at this time in NM. We're in a critical drought just like much of Texas. About 20 miles from Santa Fe, there is a 60,000 acre wildfire threatening the Los Alamos national labs. As a nuclear research facility and the birthplace of the atomic bomb, there is a substantial amount of both waste and contamination on site. Its a fairly large threat and regardless of what the government says.

There was a large fire that swept through the labs in 2000. Runoff in a SINGLE thunderstorm after this fire carried more radioactive pollution to the Rio Grande than the previous grand total. If nothing else, this fire will allow for the same type of situation given that our monsoon season is just about to start. So far it has not seriously entered the LANL grounds but its right on the doorstep. Its a serious situation.

I'll sit back and laugh at your inability to read. Yes, the nuclear facility in NM that sits atop a fucking mountain is flooded.

:lol

That will give you guys a good extent of the fire. The Labs are located adjecent to Los Alamos to the south and west. Its a lot of open territory as the grounds are broken up into separate technical areas where specific work is done on a huge variety of projects. The fire is quite gigantic as it is not even 48 hours old. I posted some pictures of it that I took from Santa Fe (well the smoke plume anyway) in a thread in the club.

[Drachen]

Manny, I agree with you, but I think WC actually made a mistake. I believe he was ignoring the NM part of the article and speaking specifically about the NE Nuclear plant.

Dont ask me why he ignored half of the article that he posted, but I do think he meant to state NE in his OP.

A power station in NE is flooded no?

A power station in NM is near a big fire.

If MildTrollBrah was a real person this would not be much to laugh at:

yeah, the NRC says it's safe so it must be. :lol

[RandomGuy]

According to a year-long investigation by the Associated Press, the country is far from prepared for a nuclear emergency. Citing the NRC's own data, the report suggests America's nuclear power facilities are outdated and, in some cases, a safety risk.


The report claims 66 power plants have been relicensed to run 20 years beyond their original shelf life, often in once-rural areas that have quadrupled in population since 1980.


Even more alarming, many of these plants are so close to large populations that, in the event of an emergency, a large-scale evacuation would be next to impossible to execute ... especially in a place like Indian Point, just 36 miles from New York City.

Reasonably safe does not mean infallibly safe.

Nukes aren't worth the risk any more, especially when the costs of renewables are comparable.

I'm pretty sure the link text has changed and the picture definitely was a different one. One of a flooded site. That link was edited after I linked it. It was only 9 minutes old when I lifted it.

It is the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant in Nebraska that is flooded.

It's all part of the MSM conspiracy to make you look like an idiot.

My God.

Nothing is infallibly safe.

Give such talk a rest please.

You have a bad habit of not reading the articles you post before you link them.

Bullshit.

The article was edited after I linked it.

[ChumpDumper]

Bullshit.

Just admit you fucked up.

[Wild Cobra]

Bullshit.

Just admit you fucked up.
The article is clearly not the same as when I posted it.

If it were, I would say I screwed up.

[ChumpDumper]

The article is clearly not the same as when I posted it.

If it were, I would say I screwed up.As noted, you have a history of not actually reading the material you link. The chances of that are much greater than that of a CBS new article saying Los Alamos is threatened by flood water.

And, given the number of times you screw up, you rarely admit to it.

[CuckingFunt]

The article is clearly not the same as when I posted it.

If it were, I would say I screwed up.

Regardless of whether or not the article changed after you linked it, the following statement is clearly in error.
A nuclear power station in NM is flooded.

It's not a huge error. A simple typo, I'd reckon. But, as someone who has so recently (and vocally) been concerned about how the rest of us view you, surely you can see how refusing to acknowledge such a silly little typo makes you look like a stubborn ass.

[Wild Cobra]

Yes, my original words are wrong. Just went by the article before it was changed.

So instead of sitting back in Oregon and laughing at people near a nuclear plant in New Mexico, you are sitting back in Oregon and laughing at people
near a nuclear plant in Nebraska.

Thanks for the clarification.

[MannyIsGod]

Gotta be a troll. I just can't fathom its a real person anymore.

If so, it'd be the biggest, most elaborate troll job in forum history :lol

No, those of you here that will panic. I feel for the people of Nebraska.

someone here could be from Nebraska

you're an ass.

Name one person panicing please?
