RED ALERT!!!! 6 underground Hanford nuclear tanks leaking!!!!! PIN!

You know there are still people that have to stir those containers so they don't explode, right?

Very strange. Smells like psyop.

Easy to tell why you only worked there 5 days!!! ;-)>

Maybe we will face to see teenage mutant hero turtles after all in our lifespan!

Numerology BS. And 666 is just the number of men (the beast).

Geographically challenged?

could be. i do not live on the mainland us. however that is what they taught us. could be i am remembering wrong....
i only worked there 5 days because i stayed in seattle for only 2 weeks.

Hanford Nuclear Reservation's leaking tanks latest woe for decades-old site
[link to www.cbsnews.com]

[snip]

The leaking materials at Hanford Nuclear Reservation pose no immediate risk to public safety or the environment because it would take perhaps years for the chemicals to reach groundwater, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday.

But the news has renewed discussion over delays for emptying the tanks, which were installed decades ago and are long past their intended 20-year life span.

"None of these tanks would be acceptable for use today. They are all beyond their design life. None of them should be in service," said Tom Carpenter of Hanford Challenge, a Hanford watchdog group. "And yet, they're holding two-thirds of the nation's high-level nuclear waste."

Hanford's tanks hold some 53 million gallons of highly radioactive waste — enough to fill dozens of Olympic-size swimming pools — and many of those tanks are known to have leaked in the past. An estimated 1 million gallons of radioactive liquid has already leaked there.

The cornerstone of emptying the tanks is a treatment plant that will convert the waste into glasslike logs for safe, secure storage. The plant, last estimated to cost more than $12.3 billion, is billions of dollars over budget and behind schedule. It isn't expected to begin operating until at least 2019.






They estimated about 300 gallons leaking annually from the one tank..

1,000,000 gallons total has leaked so far...

If it is from 6 tanks, as they are saying now, and each tank averages 300 gallons a year... they've been leaking for 555 years...


Hmm.

That would be the Columbia River.

This is from 7.9.2011.
Link is dead.

This was the first time I posted about Hanford.

Even if it takes "years" for the radiation to reach groundwater, the fact remains IT WILL.

This is an apocalypse behind a curtain, and the curtain is rising.

What's going to happen when it reaches the water? Is this drinking water we're talking about? Springs? Wells? Aquifers? Bathing pools? Lake feed?

Good God man this is nuts! The whole area around the tanks needs excavating NOW. You can't let the radioactive waste sink further into the strata!

67 tanks...

Hanford's 'safe' storage tanks: Leaking again?
[link to crosscut.com]

[snip]

The tank is one of 177 underground tanks that Hanford currently uses to store its 53 million gallons of radioactive fluids, sludges and gunk. One hundred forty nine of these are single-shell tanks, at least 67 of which are already suspected of leaking at least 1 million gallons of nuclear waste into the ground since the 1990s. Waste that is likely seeping slowly toward the Columbia River.

Still, this is the first time that highly radioactive material has been found between the two hulls of a double-shell tank, which have a minimum design life of 20 years.

"This changes everything. It is alarming that there is now solid evidence that a Hanford double-shell has leaked," said Tom Carpenter, director of the watchdog organization Hanford Challenge in a press release. "These tanks were supposed to last another 40 years, but that thinking has been superseded by this new reality."

To neutralize the threat of radioactive waste seeping into the water table, Hanford has been pumping it from the single-shell tanks to the younger and more secure 40-year-old double-shell tanks. From there, the waste will eventually be glassified in a neighboring complex, which is currently still under construction.

Wow, I posted this this morning, but it doesn't get attention until someone of "Stature" on GLP says its a big deal. lol.

"We need to be sure the federal government maintains its commitment and legal obligation to the cleanup of Hanford...
To see Hanford workers furloughed at the exact moment we have additional leakers out there is completely unacceptable."

Bechtel National Inc., meanwhile, won a contract in 2000 from the U.S. Energy Department to build a processing facility to clean up the remaining waste.

The project has been beset by delays and cost increases, according to the GAO. The estimated price tag of $13.4 billion is about three times the original projected cost

The Fukushima reactors were an American design, so, um, well...

I'm sure everything will be just fine.

damnit! I live in Ellensburg, like 25-35 minutes away from all of this crap...

I hope nothing goes wrong though they do CHEM TRAIL A LOT here in Ellensburg... its sickening and in plain sight...

There is even a freemason Temple hidden in plain view in the center of our small college town..

Again....hope this isn't anything to worry about as I do live fairly close..

I went to hanford high school in Richland Wa that has been a constant cant ever get clean clean up in other words it appears they cant clean it up.Growing up there could be my main reason of my insanity.My Dad lives there still I hate the fucking place I barren bunch of nothing Probally the reason they made the Hiroshima bomb out there.You are right.

and the media black out on the current seeking and removing of drums from 50's-60's dumping of nuclear waste drums in lake superior (drum life of 20 years):

Columbia River, and yes, it's a huge issue.

I worked on that site many years ago to stop it. Very large engineering firm...this is OLD news...They just found out about it. The plume is so large...it will never be cleaned up.

Columbia river...Not the colorado

Put 'em all in mothballs. There are there to produce waste for nuclear warhead production anyway.

Shut 'em down.

Down.

Closed.

Finished.

Kaput!

Back in the 90's, the feds were trying to build a radioactive waste dump in the Mojave Desert, right above an underground aquifer that fed the Colorado River. Greenpeace put a stop to that.

Yeah. We have a lot of those GEs all around the US.

Hmmm... I think I heard this somewhere before... somewhere in Japan maybe.

What a retards, not speaking about Greenpiece. Corporate greed fucks this world hard.

Right, but this is a political game. They make a big deal of it every couple years to force the citizens to rise up and demand several more billion go to Hanford.

YeeHaw!! Then ya better go have one last 'Super Mother' at The TAV with a pitcher of PBR - what better way to go out in "Rodeo Town" style...keep yer powder dry
