Also note we have entered past the mayan 5th day with increased solar activity and the fault lines are another key factor but not the indicator to the quake and temperature problems. Also haarp through nation governments can control weather sequencing and be used for physical and temperature seizure in place for economic and global changes through false flag war preempts and direct sourcing. |
J.H.F.C. User ID: 1437442 United States 08/24/2011 01:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | U.S. nuclear officials said the North Anna Power Station...lost off-site power and was using diesel generators to maintain cooling operations after an 5.9 earthquake hit the region today. Quoting: Earthling on Uranus The North Anna plant, which was near the epicenter of Tuesday's quake, is reportedly located on a fault line. Update: Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) Senior Scholar Bob Alvarez told the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) that the North Anna plant was built to withstand a 5.9-6.1 quake. [link to www.rawstory.com] [EDIT] North Anna Nuclear Reactors Only Designed to Withstand 5.9 - 6.1 Magnitude Earthquake: [link to pogoblog.typepad.com] Which is why ther was only a 5.9 quake (that was felt in Georgia and Canada.)

Quoting: articlehang on According to the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME), the Virginia Tech Seismological Observatory (VTSO) removed all seismographs from around the plant in the 1990s due to budget cuts.

But I cant help it, lol) - and she was saying something about steam coming from it? Sorry if this has already been talked about - have not yet read through all the posts here. Bumping for more info!

Because if you have you would know how insignificant it is. 6.5 is kinda scary if you aren't sleeping. A 5.9 is so mild, its not even worth talking about much. Its like wind shaking your car a little. I really highly doubt that a nuclear plant would not be able to survive a 6.1. Its not enough to make a full glass of water spill. Listening to people like you on NPR yesterday makes me wanna grab you by the shoulders and shake the living shit out of your stupid panicking asses. Just so you know what a solid earthquake feels like. |

They're making enough money with that technology, they really don't need to be cutting corners.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1518353 And dont worry that the backup generator failed... Nothing to see here. Support nuclear power. its very safe. It IS safe........with the right, competent people. The thing is, some of the people in these nuclear power plants are directly realted to homer Simpson. Sigh........................................... |
