Air Force Transfers Weapons Bunker to Army, it’s Now Leaking Radiation. USAF Didn’t Tell Army About Nukes Inside…
About 60 days ago an investigative probe was launched at an Air Force bunker in Fort Bliss, Texas, revealing radioactive alpha and beta particles on the bunker floor.
The excuse is an enigmatic, “… it was lost in the loop”, something that, if you are ‘in the loop’ nothing gets lost. Maybe this was one of those military SNAFU loops, where everyone’s got one and they all think it’s the same one, but there are an infinite number of loops like there are universes… but that’s just theory – Tom Dennen
The Air Force transferred the bunker to the Army in 1966, but did not warn officials about a potential radiation risk.
The Army and the FBI have detected radiation in a former nuclear weapons bunker in Texas and have launched an investigation to determine the extent of the contamination. About 30 people who work in the bunker are undergoing radiation tests.
Investigators have discovered radiation at a former nuclear weapons bunker at Fort Bliss, Texas. The above-ground concrete bunker sits in a desert area and is covered in dirt. A sign posted at its entrance warns of radiation danger inside the former weapons storage facility.
The bunker was used to store nuclear weapons during the 1950s and 1960s, when Cold War tensions were at their peak. Items containing contaminated residue, such as rags, were buried underground in sealed containers. The Air Force transferred the bunker to the Army in 1966, but did not warn officials about a potential radiation risk.
“It has come to our attention that the Air Force stored radioactive material during the 1950s and 1960s at a remote limited access building,” Maj. Joe Buccino, the public affairs officer at Fort Bloss, told KFOX TV. The Army first heard about the buried materials when a retired man who once worked in the bunker expressed his concerns and said that uranium residue may be contaminating the weapons stored in the bunker. He also expressed concern new housing projects at the military post could dig up the contaminated objects.
After launching a probe two months ago, investigators found alpha and beta particles on the floor of the bunker.
