Shutdown Ends The Nuclear Dream

This also contains new facts of just how large a disater the whole operation is as they have now 75 TONS of Pu239 and thousands of TONS of U with no place or plans. And it just gets worse the more ya read...G-d have Mercy

BNFL is over 41 Billion pounds Bankrupt, so they create a new org...NDA to take over the mess and try to Save The Empire, and Blair's butt.

Just as Blair and Bush were ranting about Nuclear Development, all this was going on there and completely covered up, amazing.

It time to move the Doomsday clock closer to Midnight...

A letter to Jeff Rense re his article pertaining to the Nuclear Disaster at Selallfield which is being covered up on both sides of the Irish Sea.

Dear Jeff,

Regarding the UK Thorp-Sellafield Nuclear Plant Situation

Well, I was somewhat misunderstanding of the timing of this story and other details of the situation there.

The plant leakage was 3 weeks ago and now we find out? Geeez.

Here is another version from Manchester from August 2003:

Brian, a chara,

The Oireachtas Environment Committee had the RPII in yesterday and we raised many of these issues with them.

On the issue of not notifying the public quickly enough, they admitted they were too slow and undertook to get out there faster in future! Worth watching.

On the issue of the three delay, they fudged, stuttered and generally defended their "friends" at BNFL.

Sellafield : "Serious Incident"

Mon May 16, 2005 05:40

Sorry to go on about this - but I think there is a huge cover up going on regarding Sellafield. The news, is getting progressively worse.

It starts of being leaked to a New Zealand News Agency nearly 4 weeks after the "serious incident" occured.

Now:

The INES rating puts the Thorp event at one step below an official “nuclear accident” on the scale’s seven step rating system. The leak, which released 83 cubic meters of highly radioactive liquid through a ruptured pipe into in Thorp’s fuel clarification cell, received an INES designation of “3.” This rating corresponds to a “serious incident” on the scale devised by the International Atomic Energy Agency. A rating of “4” corresponds to “an accident without serious off-site risk.”
