San Diego, CA – “An employee at the San Onofre nuclear plant fell into a reactor pool last week, but did not present any radiation threat, federal regulators said Friday. KNX 1070′s Tom Reopelle reports the news marks the second recent incident at the plant northern San Diego County. Victor Dricks with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said the unidentified employee did not receive a significant radiation dose after he lost his balance while leaning over to retrieve a flashlight and fell into the reactor pool in Unit 2 on Jan. 27.”

Depends what you consider a significant dose, I would say.

Many plants in the US
have potential catastrophe scenarios.
116 million[2010] within 50 mile radius in
the US. 104 reactors.

Indian Point 17 million
Limerick 8
San Onofre 8
Dresden 7

That's 116 million nuclear neighbors, up from 109 million a decade earlier, according to the analysis conducted for msnbc.com by Longcreative, a data analysis and design company.

The population within 10 miles of Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island reactor grew 11 percent. At Pilgrim, outside of Boston, the increase was 41 percent. Near San Onofre on the California fault lines, 50 percent.

Among the 100 most populous U.S. cities on the new census map, 26 have a nuclear plant within 50 miles: New York, Chicago, Philadelphia (3 different plants nearby), Phoenix, San Diego, Fort Worth, Charlotte (2 plants), Detroit, Baltimore, Boston (2 plants), Washington, Virginia Beach and Norfolk, Omaha, Raleigh and Durham, Miami, Cleveland, Minneapolis and St. Paul (2 plants), New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Toledo (2 plants), Newark, Baton Rouge, and Rochester, N.Y.

Power plants closing down all over U.S and world
and now something is up with Coal.

Obama wtf are you doing!

I call For a REVOLUTION. IF TRUMP CAN CALL ONE SO CAN WE!
AMERICANS STAND UP

Ugh, San Onofre is like 8 miles from my house. :(

I thought they removed all the fuel from the reactors until further notice...

All of this talk and no mention of the steam leak at Palisades a few days ago (but don't worry, everything is good again).

Obama is causing genocide on Americans.
