[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM2MjIwMzI2XzM4M0M2RjM=] The canary in the reactor http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20130218/OPINION01/702189953 [snip] On Friday, the U.S. Department of Energy announced a "decrease of liquid level" in a single-shell tank at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. A liquid decrease is promising news for people taking diuretics or attempting to lose weight. Radioactive sludge leaking into the ground at a rate of 150 to 300 gallons per year (or "rate of loss of liquids" in Energy-speak) is not-so-good news. The underground tank in question, T-111, classified as an "assumed leaker" in 1979, was built between 1943 and 1944. These massive receptacles were engineered to last approximately 20 years, which means the leaking tank's structural integrity became questionable around the time of the Apollo 11 moon landing. In 1995, something called interim stabilization (In English, a short-term fix) was completed. The process involves the removal of pumpable liquids. The T-111's storage capacity is 530,000 gallons. There are 117 similar tanks at Hanford, the Energy Department reports. [/quote]
