all US GLPers ! your media is much too silent ! acc. @nuke plant RussellvilleArk. on Sun. / now explosion likely @Hanford Washington site !?

[link to usnews.nbcnews.com]

marked as "unusual event", lowest on scale, no radioactivity reported.

Hm. "Residents heard a loud 'boom'...it was the generator while being 'moved'"

Not a peep about what happened to the victims. Nary a word.

No threat to the public of course.

Sick world.

Thanks for posting this OP..sucking as it does. This one's worth tracking alt news to see what more there obviously is to the story.

Also when happened the Chernobyl accident it was told the same at first... let's hope for our American friends that is true this time

Hey y'all I used to live there.. Long long ago. Not relevant. But what is ..i read a thread about ufos and pictures from an Arkansas plant. Showed a small figure..they didn't know what it was .. I was recent.

Im srry, its about some sightings at a gas plant in kennedytexas.

so they moved the generator while it was connected ?

maybe it fell down on those poor people?

i really do not understand what happenend there, the info given in the article says "nothing".

wow you really trying to keep this one alive

shit, why many country use nuclear when they cant handle it.

can someone from Arkansas confirm? i don´t know how many nuke plants you have !

This site, much like a reflection of all society is in a state of chaos, decay and entropy.

Apathy is spreading like a cancer. When your words fall upon deaf ears, blind eyes and closed hearts and minds again and again... one simply shrugs and looks for truth within instead.

:dqu:

Praying for all of us in struggle and danger upon this planet.

anyone from the US got any other info on this?

at first it was a non-doom-event, but it seems to be "developing" ...?

nothing here...safety type accident...unpin...however, I will comment that the safety department should be investigated for having not evaluated the potential for an accident for this work activity.

so Arkansas had a pipeline rupture AND a nuclear event this week?

bad luck

Not developing as much as being investigated. Whether it was equipment or human error will eventually come out. There is no steam coming from the tower so it did not go back online last night as expected.

and an earthquake.

Here is the latest from local newspaper today

NRC report: "Lift device failed," dropping 500-ton stator that killed ANO worker
by Adam Franks
01:21 PM, Monday, April 01
A report on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission website says a "turbine temporary lift device failed" while moving a 500-ton turbine generator stator at Arkansas Nuclear One, killing a Russellville man and injuring eight others Sunday morning.

The accident that killed Wade Walters, 24, also disrupted power at the two-unit nuclear plant operated by Entergy near London, and the company said in a statement that both units are "in a stable shutdown condition" and are being powered by emergency diesel generators.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) report said "the full extent of structural damage on Unit 1 is not known" and an "investigation into the cause of the failure and extent of damage is ongoing."

The plant's Unit 1, which lost "decay heat removal" for about four minutes Sunday, was already offline for a planned fueling outage when the stator fell and damaged other plant equipment, Entergy said. The plant's Unit 2, which was operating at full power, automatically shut down, according to Entergy.

"On Unit 2, all rods inserted during the trip. The core is being cooled via natural circulation. Decay heat is being removed via steam dumps to atmosphere. There is no known primary to secondary leakage," the NRC report states.

The plant then entered an "unusual event classification," the lowest of four emergency classifications designated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The plant exited the "unusual event classification" at 6:21 p.m. Sunday.

Entergy has not released the names of the workers injured Sunday, two of whom remained hospitalized at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center Sunday evening.

Just a few years back I lived in Russellville,AR.

I was within the call radius for events....

I couldn't wait to move away from there for that reason.

I had a friend there who hubby worked/may still work there.

Trying to get info from her but she seems to be silent on the subject so far.

I am upwind from this site and have activated my counters....thus far, normal background radiation levels...I will report back

The Arkansas radiation network detector has been removed from the website. There is no station in Arkansas now

Awesome. I'm across the lake.

Huge crystal fields lay underground slightly north of the middle of the state.

I said "upwind" but what I meant is that the prevailing winds should direct anything in the air my way, and I will catch it with 3 Geiger counters I have running.
