So what... Look up (Kingman AZ. radioactive truck leak) The DOE said
there wasn't any radioactivity others say it was hot. I recall seeing
footage of the back of the simi leaking. Epoxy ! LOL Sure it was just
low level waist , but showed nothing on the Geiger counter? Why truck
it all the way across the country if it was just water?

OK I looked it up. here is a quote:

No radioactive contamination was discovered in the almost two gallons that
leaked out of the truck in Kingman. The truck's load was repacked and
returned to Ohio from Arizona.

The leaking liquid was not a threat to public health, safety or the
environment, according to the DOE.
============= end quote =============

Two gallons and no zoomies. Sounds to me like there was no problem. I also
note that this was in December. Perhaps the water didn't originate from the
plant in Ohio, perhaps it was snow or rain that had fallen on the cargo.

The term low level waste is rather deceiving. This could mean a set of
coveralls the guy driving the forklift was wearing when he carried the hot
fuel rods to the cooling ponds, or the dirt he drove the forklift over.





Now we are running out of water and they ( ahhh GGG the Nev. gov't)
are setting up to extract water from around the NTS. Bet they say
there is nothing wrong with the water and never will be, do you
believe that? LOL

Well one thing about radiation is it is easy to test for.



Not that , the people who went in the plant to help somehow to contain
it, did they ( the Russian gov't) tell them they are most likely to
die before their pay check? I bet NO.


Perhaps they were bona fide heros. Perhaps they were worried about what
would happen if the sacrifice was not made.



I'm not informed at all. I can just imagine ! The plants are built
like a nuke bomb shelter with what 10' concrete and rebar all over?
That must cost some bucks and then tear it down while glowing and then
truck it to NV. Plus all the liquid and dirt from the site. Sounds
really ****ing expensive to me. But we are to believe its less than
$.03 a KWH. Yeah, right.

Currently 20% of the electricity generated in the US comes form just over
100 nuclear power plants. Do the math.



Granted we need electricity , maybe design them to be left in place ,
hell I don't know. Make bigger pools and keep it there. Read one of
these pack rat threads, its a major pain to move all the stuff little
alone hot. I bet they are still scratching their heads over what to do
with 3 mile island and that was ahhh 25 yrs. ago. BTW , from what I've
seen on TV they (TMI) dumped alot of glowing stuff and would not tell
the people about it.

Be careful about what you see on TV. Often the more controversy the
producers can create the better the ratings. This is often at the expense
of the truth.

If TMI had "dumped a lot of hot stuff", it would be detctable. So where is
it?




Wish I could find that political cartoon about trust us. It had about
5 examples of how the gov't lies about the subject. Kinda like giving
poor blacks syphilis and letting it run its course. Don't these people
( do I have to spell it out?) swear an oath to protect and serve ect.
ect... to the citizens of the US?

Frankly I don't think I'm mis anything.

Since your so smart , I have a question. How much radiation is in
lead from say a hospital. None? A lot? Some, elaborate. How does it
stop it and where does it go?

I am not sure, but I bet if you asked the question on alt.energy.nuclear I
bet someone there could explain it. One thing I did have personal
experience with was a large lead lined box that I helped move from an
industrial plant to the scrap yard. The box was used for some sort of
industrial process involving radiation. Before the scrap yard accepted it,
they came out to the truck with a geiger counter, adjusted it to get a
background reading and when they stuck the probe into the box the needle
fell to zero.


How many nuke subs are sitting on the ocean floor ?

I am not sure. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of sick US sailors that
lived inside of those small confined spaces, the Russian sailors I am not to
sure about. IIRC water is a good radiation shield, perhaps this might
explain why this is not an issue.



Got info on space nukes? Have they done it? Ya know them and
explosions not power plants.



I have no specific information, but there is a whole lot more radiation in
space than there is at sea level just like there is a lot more in Denver
than in Seattle.
