| RadChick (OP) User ID: 26169464 United States11/05/2012 04:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The NRC spokesman said if the flood waters contined to rise, it could affect the reactor’s service water pumps, which are used for shut-down cooling and to cool the spent-fuel pool. Since the plant was already shut for refueling, the NRC spokesman said the company could use water from the fire hose to cool the spent-fuel pool if necessary."

So what that means is the nuclear fuel pool started to heat up and Oyster Creek started to bring in some diesel fire pumps, apparently they got the situation rectified before turning the pumps. They were in a position where they were bringing in diesel fire pumps in order to keep the nuclear fuel pool cool because of all the problems they were having as a result of Sandy."

Maybe they are just lazy. After all, they use it like crazy in third-world countries like Morocco! I wish I didn’t vent so much steam too, because it really obscures my view. Some days its really bad, especially if we have a hot shutdown. But people have to work inside of me so I can work properly and things don’t “melt down”. Radiation in the steam is pretty small, so unless you go outside a lot, you’re probably OK. I’m not sure why so many kids around here keep getting brain cancer though. Maybe they sit too close to the TV." More at EndtheLie.com - [link to EndtheLie.com] Host of Nuked Radio on UCY.tv Website: FukushimaFacts.com Facebook: RadChick Radiation Research & Mitigation |

This is in the country's effort to cut its heavy reliance on energy imports and become a leader in North Africa when it comes to "green" power sources. Currently, the country imports 90 percent of its electricity from Europe, resulting in high energy costs."

| RadChick (OP) User ID: 26169464 United States11/05/2012 04:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Childhood Cancer in South Florida Study Finds Cause in Nuclear Plant Radiation Emissions Drinking Water Most Likely Source Miami, Florida A South Florida Baby Teeth and Cancer Case Study, that was officially released today, finds that infants and children are especially vulnerable to cancer caused by federally-permitted radiation releases from nuclear reactors, such as the Turkey Point and St. Lucie nuclear power plants, located in southeast Florida. The five-year baby teeth study, also known as the Tooth Fairy Project, found a 37% rise in the average levels of radioactive Strontium-90 (Sr-90) in southeast Florida baby teeth from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. When compared with baby teeth collected from 18 Florida counties, the highest levels of Sr-90 were found in the six southeast Florida counties closest to the Turkey Point and St. Lucie nuclear reactors: Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River. The study found the highest levels of radioactivity in samples of drinking water found within 20 miles of the Turkey Point (located south of Miami) and St. Lucie (located north of West Palm Beach) nuclear power plants, while levels of radioactivity were significantly lower in water samples further away from the reactors.
