    'Catastrophic Leak' Found at Hanford Nuclear Site in Washington State

    'Catastrophic Leak' Found at Hanford Nuclear Site in Washington State

    "This is probably the biggest event to ever happen in tank farm history."

    The Watchers

    April 25, 2016




    ‘The amount of radioactive waste that has been leaking between the two walls of
    one of the underground tanks at Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State
    for several years grew dramatically on Sunday, April 17, with up to 13,000 liters
    (3,500 gallons) of new waste.

    The leak occurred at the double-shell storage known as AY-102, which has been
    leaking small amounts of nuclear waste since 2011. It is estimated that about
    265 liters (70 gallons) of waste leaked from the tank in recent years.

    Although it’s unclear exactly how much waste spilled out over the weekend,
    estimates place the amount at somewhere between 11,300 and 13,200 liters
    (3,000 and 3,500 gallons).’

    Meteorologist Ari Sarsalari updates you on a potentially catastrophic nuclear waste leak in Washington state.

    The Weather Channel

    An ongoing nuclear waste leak in Washington State has rapidly intensified over the past weekend,
    leaving workers scrambling to pump the waste out of the storage facility.

    Back in 2011, a leak was found on the inner hull of one of the site’s 28 double-wall storage tanks.
    The previous leak posed an insignificant threat, but workers came across an even larger leak this
    weekend while attempting to clear the inner hull of its remaining waste.

    Crews at the United States Department of Energy’s storage site in Hanford were alerted by leak
    detection alarms Sunday morning, and after lowering a camera into the affected area, the staff
    found 8.4 inches of radioactive and chemically toxic waste had poured between the inner and
    outer walls of the tank, according to KING 5.

    Nuclear leak at Washington's infamous Hanford Site is CATASTROPHIC, former
    worker claims, as eight inches of radioactive waste escapes core of 'the world's
    safest' tank
    .
    •Tank has two shells; a crack was spotted in the inner one in 2011
    •Now that crack has widened, spilling waste into the gap between the shells
    •It happened after attempts to pump the waste out of the tank
    •The Department of Energy says this was 'anticipated'
    •But workers at the plant said they weren't told it was a possibility
    •The double-shell tank can contain up to a million gallons of deadly waste
    •It was supposed to be the safest possible container for radioactive liquid
    •The Hanford Site provided plutonium for the first atomic bomb

    A radioactive sign hangs on barbed wire outside a café in Pripyat.

    ‘On the 30th anniversary of the world’s worst nuclear catastrophe yet, a new report
    shows radioactive contamination from the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl in Ukraine
    still lingers in startlingly large amounts across the border in neighboring Belarus.

    In an exclusive report by the Associated Press, fresh milk from a Belarusian dairy farm
    contained a radioactive isotope, traceable to the Chernobyl disaster, at “levels 10 times
    higher than the nation’s food safety limits” — thirty years after the accident occurred.

    Though the AP turned to a laboratory to test the milk, dairy farmer Nikolai Chubenok
    called the results “impossible.”’

    From Chernobyl to Fukushima: Nuclear Emergencies and the Masters of Improvisation



    By Sonja Schmid

    Global Research, April 27, 2016

    Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists 25 April 2016




    April 26 marks the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, and those old enough to
    remember the event can recall the explosion, the evacuation, and the dread. But they
    rarely remember an immense milestone in the response to the disaster: the completion
    in November 1986 of a concrete encasement of Chernobyl’s reactor number four. Workers
    drawn from all across the Soviet Union built this “sarcophagus” under extreme radiological
    conditions, on the ruins of the destroyed reactor.

    They used unimaginable amounts of concrete—and a great deal of imagination. This concrete
    mausoleum has held up, with some assistance, for 30 years now. (A larger containment
    structure that will fit over the existing sarcophagus is now being built.)’

    Iodine pills for all: Nuclear plant security worries prompt new Belgium health plan


    Published time: 28 Apr, 2016 12:12

    Edited time: 28 Apr, 2016 12:58




    Belgian officials have grown so worried about the country’s nuclear power plants that the
    government has been advised to let everyone living within a 100-kilometer radius of the
    plants be issued with iodine pills. This is basically the entire population.


    The recommendation was made by Health Minister Maggie De Block, who said the current
    legislation, which gives iodine pills to Belgians within a 20-kilometer radius, is inadequate
    and should be extended to 100 kilometers, according to La Libre daily.

    De Block mentioned that the whole of Belgium is located within 100 kilometers of a nuclear
    power plant and therefore the tablets should be made available to everyone.

    In a separate move, in March, the Dutch government decided it would give iodine tablets to
    people under the age of 18 and pregnant women living in a 100-kilometer radius of a nuclear
    power plant, the Dutch broadcast NOS reported.

    In case of a nuclear disaster, the iodine tablets can help to alleviate the effects of Iodine-131,
    which is one of the most harmful radioactive elements that can be released, despite it having
    a half-life of just eight days.

    Iodine-131 caused around 5,000 deaths from thyroid cancer following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.

    Hanford nuclear facility a far greater threat to the West Coast than Fukushima … Here’s why

    Hanford nuclear facility a far greater threat to the West Coast than Fukushima … Here’s why

    Posted 05/07/2016 5:41 am by PatriotRising



    ‘Although much attention has been focused on the threat posed to the U.S. West Coast by
    radioactivity from the 2011 Fukushima disaster, an even greater threat has gone largely
    ignored, warns nuclear historian Robert Jacobs of the Hiroshima Peace Institute.

    That threat is the Hanford Site, which sits just 400 yards from the Columbia River in eastern
    Washington. Hanford contains two-thirds of the high-level radioactive waste (by volume) in
    the United States, and has been leaking for decades.

    “While radiation from the Fukushima nuclear meltdowns is reaching the West Coast, carried
    across the ocean from Japan, the radiation from Hanford is already there, has been there for
    70 years, and is in serious risk of catastrophe that could dwarf the effects of Fukushima even
    on Japan,” Jacobs writes in an article for Counter Punch.’

    Chernobyl, genetic damage, and the UK nuclear bomb tests - justice at last?

    6th May 2016

    Britain's nuclear bomb test veterans suffered severe genetic damage from
    radiation, writes Chris Busby, and their case for compensation is being heard in the
    High Court today. Key to their case is evidence of similar damage inflicted on in
    utero babies exposed to radiation from the Chernobyl disaster, and how the
    dreadful health impacts of radiation cascade down to future generations.

    AND just so we are ALL clear, this is the number that they are talking about:

    Quote Posted by green peace
    as high as 29,800 Bq/kg
    now, as far as radiation goes, about the LEAST accurate way to measure it is in CP/s (counts per second) or becquerel (Bq) (they are the same thing). This number does not convert to the more common unit of measurement, the sievert (well, common in the US.. haha) easily. CPS is a measurement of "rate" not energy.. so if it's all beta radiation, (energy wise) that's nothing to worry about at all; if it's all alpha or neutrons or gamma radiation then your looking at a different exposure rate as those are more damaging.

    So lets do some conversions and play with numbers.

    Now remember, CP/s or Bq/s are just measuring rate (if it's there or not) not energy (what its potential to effect something is).

    Quote Radioactivity in some natural and other materials
    1 adult human (100 Bq/kg) 7000 Bq
    1 kg of coffee 1000 Bq
    1 kg superphosphate fertiliser 5000 Bq
    The air in a 100 sq metre Australian home (radon) 3000 Bq
    The air in many 100 sq metre European homes (radon) up to 30 000 Bq
    1 household smoke detector (with americium) 30 000 Bq
    Radioisotope for medical diagnosis 70 million Bq
    Radioisotope source for medical therapy 100 000 000 million Bq (100 TBq)
    1 kg 50-year old vitrified high-level nuclear waste 10 000 000 million Bq (10 TBq)
    1 luminous Exit sign (1970s) 1 000 000 million Bq (1 TBq)
    1 kg uranium 25 million Bq
    1 kg uranium ore (Canadian, 15%) 26 million Bq
    1 kg uranium ore (Australian, 0.3% 500 000 Bq
    1 kg low level radioactive waste 1 million Bq
    1 kg of coal ash 2000 Bq
    1 kg of granite 1000 Bq
    http://www.world-nuclear.org/informa...-and-life.aspx


    So by this we can see that obviously,
    Quote Posted by green peace
    as high as 29,800 Bq/kg
    is pretty much a joke; your smoke detector has a higher cp/s reading.


    But we are talking about specific elements, so lets see what they typically are, energetically:


    Quote Caesium-137 has a half-life of about 30.17 years.[1] About 95 percent decays by beta emission to a metastable nuclear isomer of barium: barium-137m (137mBa, Ba-137m). The remainder directly populates the ground state of barium-137, which is stable. Ba-137m has a half-life of about 153 seconds, and is responsible for all of the emissions of gamma rays in samples of caesium-137.
    Well since 95% energetically is beta emissions (which cannot penetrate skin even) and 5% decays via gamma (the stuff that can be concerning) we only have to worry about 5% of those CP/s or Bq.

    So now that number is down around 1,500 cp/s or Bq that we are worried about.

    I'm not sure if I need to continue, these numbers are so low that even BEFORE we try and figure out the energetic levels from cp/s it's a joke....


    this is pure fear porn leveraging a topic that not many people care to understand.
    Hard times create strong men, Strong men create good times, Good times create weak men, Weak men create hard times.
    Where are you?

    I have mixed feeling about this its a shame better forms of energy generation has
    not been developed by now.Despite all the protests and demonstrations there was
    no way this project was not going to happen unless something went wrong with the
    investors being mainly France and China.If all else failed the UK would of had to
    have funded it as the new plant has been part of the energy plan for years.....

    On a positive note there has been a nuclear plant on the site virtually all my life ,
    with only a few scares that we know of happening there. It does employ local people
    and did help generate prosperity in the town and surrounding villages in the 1960's
    and 70's and kept out put going even though one of the original generators
    has been decommissioned an on going progress that will last a long time. A lot of
    work has been going on at the site for years so this was expected to go ahead one
    way or another.


    Ironically there has been suggested plans for barrage to generate electricity
    which has been mooted on and off for decades.......

    EDF investors agree 4bn euros Hinkley Point fundraising | Short News



    =====================================




    Hinkley Point gets final investment approval from France's EDF

    37 minutes ago


    Artist's impression of Hinkley Point C building proposals

    Investment in the first new nuclear plant to be built in the UK in 20 years - at
    Hinkley Point, Somerset - has secured final approval.The decision came at a board
    meeting of French utility EDF - the company financing most of the £18bn project.
    Following that agreement, legally binding contracts will be signed and construction
    work can begin.

    But critics warn of environmental damage and potential escalating costs.

    They are also concerned that the plant is being built by foreign governments. One
    third of the £18bn cost is being provided by Chinese investors.

    EDF hopes to have more than 2,500 workers on site by next year.

    Announcing the approval of investment, EDF described the plant as "a unique asset
    for French and British industries", saying it would benefit the nuclear sectors in
    both countries and would give a boost to employment.


    The announcement was immediately welcomed by employers' group the CBI, the
    Nuclear Industry Association and engineering workers' union GMB.
    ◾Why is Hinkley Point important?
    ◾Somerset hopes for Hinkley jobs boost

    Ahead of the vote on whether to approve the Hinkley project, Gerard Magnin, an
    EDF board member, resigned, saying the project was "very risky" financially.
    Earlier this year, EDF's finance director, Thomas Piquemal, also resigned amid
    reports he thought Hinkley could damage EDF itself.

    Cost warning

    Hinkley Point C is expected to provide 7% of the UK's total electricity requirement.

    The project has been hit in recent months by concerns about EDF's financial capacity.

    Despite the Chinese investment, Hinkley Point would remain an enormous
    undertaking for the stressed French company, which has had to raise money from
    its owners.

    Earlier this week, EDF shareholders approved plans to issue new shares to raise
    4bn euros (£3.4bn) to help pay for the project.The French state, which owns 85%
    of EDF, will buy €3bn worth of new shares in the fundraising.But Mycle Schneider
    who used to advise the French government on nuclear and the environment, told
    the BBC that neither the state nor the company were fully on board.

    "There is now a large front inside EDF, inside the nuclear establishment in France,
    advising against the construction because the sheer size of it could put not only the
    company EDF at risk, but this could actually put the whole state finances at risk."

    Hinkley Point Construction

    5,600 workers on site at peak

    4,000km electrical cabling

    230,000 tonnes of steel

    5.6m cubic metres of earth to be moved


    EDF

    The project has many critics in Britain too.

    "The price of every other form of energy is falling. That includes gas, which is
    plentiful and wind and solar are both coming right down in price," Nick Butler,
    visiting professor and chair of King's Policy Institute at King's College London, told
    the BBC.

    "We should step back and review it. The danger of what we are getting into is that
    are now locked into a very high price for a very long time."

    Ahead of the decision, EDF said Hinkley Point was a "unique asset for French
    industry as it would benefit the whole of the nuclear industry and support
    employment in major companies and smaller enterprises in the sector".

    'Too big to fail'

    Although French unions are urging the company to push back the decision until the
    company is in a better financial position, UK unions - including Unite and GMB -
    have welcomed the project.

    Environmentalists are concerned about the plan. After the announcement about the
    go-ahead, Greenpeace executive director John Sauven said: "Countless experts
    have warned that for British families this power station will be terrible value for money."

    He added: "Today's decision doesn't prove the UK is open for business post Brexit -
    it just shows the Hinkley deal became too big to fail in the eyes of British and
    French politicians."

    The campaign group added that more investment for renewable energy like
    offshore wind was needed.

    Hinkley Point timeline

    Jan 2006 - Government proposes nuclear as part of future energy mix

    Mar 2013 - Construction of Hinkley Point approved

    Oct 2013 - UK government agrees £92.50 per megawatt-hour will be paid for
    electricity produced at the Somerset site - around double the current market rate at
    the time

    Hinkley Point: New hitch for UK nuclear plant deal


    34 minutes ago

    Plans to build the first new UK nuclear plant in 20 years have suffered an
    unexpected delay after the government postponed a final decision until the early
    autumn.

    French firm EDF, which is financing most of the £18bn Hinkley Point project in
    Somerset, approved the funding at a board meeting.

    Contracts were to be signed on Friday.

    But Business Secretary Greg Clark has said the government will "consider carefully"
    before backing it.

    According to reports, EDF's chief executive Vincent de Rivaz has cancelled a trip to
    the UK on Friday following Mr Clark's comments.

    China warns of 'crucial juncture' over Hinkley delay
    9 hours ago

    Failing to go ahead with the Hinkley Point nuclear project could threaten China's
    relationship with Britain, its ambassador to the UK has warned.Writing in the
    Financial Times, Liu Xiaoming said the delay to approving the plant had brought
    the two countries to a "crucial historical juncture".

    He hinted that "mutual trust" could be in jeopardy if the UK Government decided
    not to approve the deal.

    China is expected to fund about a third of the £18bn project.

    China warns Theresa May to make ‘wise strategic choices’ over Hinkley Point nuclear deal

    Published time: 1 Sep, 2016 11:49
    Edited time: 2 Sep, 2016 13:52

    Beijing has warned Prime Minister Theresa May to consider Britain’s relationship with China
    carefully after she suspended the construction of a new nuclear power plant by Chinese
    engineers over national security concerns. May, who will visit China for the first time as PM
    later this week for the G20 summit, has angered Beijing with her decision to delay construction
    of the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant.China’s ambassador to the UK published a prominent
    opinion piece in the state-run China Daily newspaper on Thursday, imploring the PM to make
    “wise strategic choices” concerning Britain’s relationship with Beijing.

    Liu Xiaoming did not explicitly mention Hinkley, but said “a number of steps need to be taken
    in order to maintain the momentum in the relationship” between Britain and China.

    How do you explain all the horrible "documented" medical consequences of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, if not from radiation? (TargeT).Do you believe that we have mutated and become more immune to radiation since that time? I also must bring up the idea that the Reptilians (Annunaki) thrive on radiation and they have apparently contaminated the human gene pool. I would guess that the amount of their genetic material in any given human would also possibly influence that human's response to radiation. Just throwing this out there for your ideas

    (Ernie) I have also wondered how the astronauts dealt with the radiation in the Van Allen belt when they went to the moon. I'm wondering if they used some technology from the Secret Space Program, which was of course removed before the ships went on display.

    (Lone Bean) While your prediction of mass death for many in the near future did strike momentary fear in my heart; it does fit perfectly with Pleiadian predictions from Barbara Marciniak recently
    (U Tube). I believe this shift in consciousness we are now beginning to experience may be the only thing which can allow us to straighten out all these problems and create a new world. What we intend with words and thoughts now creates our reality. Create from your heart, in the place of unconditional love, and all will be well.

    Mayan prophecy: When the eagle of the north flies with the condor of the south, the children of earth shall awakened. (from my friend Washington Gibaja Tapia, a Peruvian shaman).

    We are the children of the earth. Let us choose wisely.

    Well I don't think those were being discussed here & I certainly think that's an "apples vs oranges" comparison.

    The radiation levels at the site of a nuclear weapon explosion are understandably much higher than what happened at Fukushima. I'm sure that this is not a good comparison at all.

    (TargeT).Do you believe that we have mutated and become more immune to radiation since that time?
    Since what time? since we dropped atomic bombs on people?

    The fact that you would even consider those two bombs and fukushima in the same category shows how strong the media propaganda is on this... they aren't even close to the same.. I am wearing, on a rope around my neck, RIGHT NOW; a piece of uranium ore that is more radioactive (CP/s wise) than any measurement taken at and around Fukushima (excluding the reactor room itself) at any time during or after this disaster (to this current day)... for some measurements it's MULTITUDES stronger.

    I'm practicing radiation hormesis... aka healing your self through low level exposure to stresses (in this case radiation).

    well that's really just speculation, I like to deal in a bit more concrete terms. However, humans do benefit from low dose radiation; so there may be some validity (though you'd have to first concretely prove the "annunaki" exist).


    For context:

    I am convinced that one of the biggest lies we have been told centers around radiation and the "no-exposure" threshold that we have set... it's robbed us of easy power sources & incredible healing ability (I've only gotten sick once in the last 3 years wearing this.. and it was when I had taken it off for a couple months... it's back on now! probably not taking it off again).

    Cider you're an Avalon MVP, you are constantly throwing excellent information out there for everyone to use. You are the baseball player bringing it in on the strength of your batting average.
    TargeT, you are like the grumpy non-charismatic home run hitter who is constantly changing teams due to off the field issues. LOL, I don't know where that came from, I apologize for channeling Harry Carry there for a moment. I'm still laughing at what I wrote here, and I have to ask TargeT's forgiveness in hoping I do not incur his wrath on this one.


    I'm with TargeT on this one. I think this is one of his home runs that have succedded in changing a long standing paradigm of mine.
    TargeT's opinion on this matter caused me to look more into it, and then I found Galen Windsor.
    And then I found Target's and Dawn's thread on Hormesis here. https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...light=hormesis


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEXG7h6kBOQ



    Here is Galen Windsor pouring Uranium into his hand and freaking eating it.
    For folks who do not know, Galen worked in the first nuclear powerplants, and he was part of the initial crew who would make plutonium out of uranium, and he talks of handling the substances with his own hands on a daily basis before stringent rules and guidelines came out. Galen also talks about swimming in the plutonium rod cooling pools in nuclear power plants. Galen Windsor didn't just eat uranium on ONE speaking engagement, he did it numerous times, and was told every time he did it he was going to die of kidney failure.
    I'm of the opinion that the shadow government in one of it's ever expanding methods to take public funds blew out of proportion the nuclear scare.
    Unbelievable you say? We are quite used to the stories of CIA drug running and invented wars so as to sell arms. Is blowing the radiation danger out of proportion really that surprising?
