WARNING TO NORTH CAROLINA! I Have Been Researching High Radiation Readings for North Carolina. Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant Ticking Timebomb!

FROM ARTICLE:

One of the most lethal patches of ground in North America is located in the backwoods of North Carolina, where Shearon Harris nuclear plant is housed and owned by Progress Energy. The plant contains the largest radioactive waste storage pools in the country. It is not just a nuclear-power-generating station, but also a repository for highly radioactive spent fuel rods from two other nuclear plants. The spent fuel rods are transported by rail and stored in four densely packed pools filled with circulating cold water to keep the waste from heating. The Department of Homeland Security has marked Shearon Harris as one of the most vulnerable terrorist targets in the nation.

The threat exists, however, without the speculation of terrorist attack. Should the cooling system malfunction, the resulting fire would be virtually unquenchable and could trigger a nuclear meltdown, putting more than two hundred million residents of this rapidly growing section of North Carolina in extreme peril. A recent study by Brookhaven Labs estimates that a pool fire could cause 140,000 cancers, contaminate thousands of square miles of land, and cause over $500 billion in off-site property damage.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has estimated that there is a 1:100 chance of pool fire happening under the best of scenarios. And the dossier on the Shearon Harris plant is far from the best.
In 1999 the plant experienced four emergency shutdowns. A few months later, in April 2000, the plant’s safety monitoring system, designed to provide early warning of a serious emergency, failed. And it wasn’t the first time. Indeed, the emergency warning system at Shearon Harris has failed fifteen times since the plant opened in 1987.

The Most Dangerous U.S. N-Plant? NRC's Dishonest Rating System – A Report by NC WARN

:nn12:

I live 20 miles from SH and even if it does get shut down, the waste pools will still be there with life threatening radioactivity! Last yr they had a shutdown because of corrosion around a water nozzle, the plant is now operating beyond its usable life. In another town here in NC is Southport which has an even older NPP. which is close to beach resorts. My family went to go eat at the yatch basin there and my stepsisters niece found a 4 leaf clover, then when we came out my son also found one too in the general area. What are the odds of such a rare mutation in such a small area?

I hear you. God bless.:nn14:

bump for my NCers

Traverse, should I pin this?

I don't like to pin my own, but should I, so this can get out in the open?

Anyone think I should?

:nn11:

living in the Asheville area this worries me

Don't get me wrong as I am one of the most anti-nuclear people around but...

two hundred million residents of this rapidly growing section of North Carolina in extreme peril.

Really? I wasn't aware that more than half the population of the US lives in North Carolina.

Frosty, I will stay on this.

I will present what I find, and you will have to decide whether you trust the info or not.

I and you both now it must be a mistake or misnomer, as even with them opening up the border to Mexican hordes to get welfare, we are well below 400 million for the entire country.
