The most contaminated nuclear waste site in the United States could explode at any moment, posing a serious threat to lives in the area, authorities say.
The radioactive waste tanks located at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in the US state of Washington is at risk of exploding, threatening all inhabitants around the site, the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DFNSB) said on April 1.
“All the double-shell tanks contain waste that continuously generates some flammable gas,” said the agency, adding that “this gas will eventually reach flammable conditions if adequate ventilation is not provided.”
An explosion would release flammable toxins that would “have considerable radiological consequences, endanger personnel, contaminate portions of the Tank Farms, and seriously disrupt the waste cleanup mission,” said the DFNSB.
I guess it’s a false flag waiting to happen. Blowing up that plant provides a nuclear disaster that the admin would be looking for to reduce our liberties even further and it would set that site as a permanent nuke waste zone and the gov wouldn’t have to “clean it up”. Win-win! And, it would divert attention from the greatest nuclear disaster in all of history….Fukushima.
Key phrase: “this gas will eventually reach flammable conditions if adequate ventilation is not provided.”
Well, provide adequate ventilation… at least that part of the problem is solved. Now on the other hand, the Radiation portion of this endeavor proves a bit more problematic….
