Radioactive Reality (01 August 2013) St. LOUIS MISSOURI -WARNING- Fire line Breached!





CBS St. Louis, July 31, 2013: Bridgeton residents have been calling on state and federal agencies to put a stop to the underground fire at the Bridgeton Landfill but St. Louis County officials said Tuesday there is nothing they can do to mitigate the situation. “This is a state and federal issue. Now, we support that something needs to be done but again, it’s in St. Louis County, but it’s an EPA issue and it’s a state issue,” [County Executive Charlie Dooley] says. [...] EPA officials claimed there was “adequate time” before the fire reached nuclear waste at the nearby West Lake Landfill. […]


KMOV, July 25, 2013: The state of Missouri says [...] there are significant deficiencies to the 425-page contingency plan submitted by the landfill owner, Republic Services. [...] the company set the trigger points, which would create an automatic response if the fire spread those points, too far out and the plan doesn’t give enough time to safely take additional steps. [...] Local authorities are studying the contingency plan carefully. “Words can’t explain how important it is,” said Matt Lavanchy with the Pattonville Fire Protection District. [...]
KTVI, July 25, 2013: [...] the plan as submitted could fail to stop the fire from moving from the south quarry, through a narrow stretch into the north quarry, thus possibly allowing it to reach the radioactive material. [...]


Missouri Coalition for the EnvironmentRepublic Service’s Landfill Fire Mitigation System Fails[...] “The data show clearly that the subsurface landfill fire has moved beyond the equipment that was meant to stop its advance toward tons of radioactive wastes leftover from the purification of uranium for nuclear weapons,” said Ed Smith, Safe Energy Director with the Missouri Coalition for the Environment. “Essentially, the ‘fire line’ is breached.” [...] The EPA stated at January meeting on West Lake that the landfill fire was 1,200 feet from the radioactive wastes. Last week the Attorney General said the landfill fire was 1,000 feet from the radioactive wastes. [...]

Newspaper: Giant Louisiana sinkhole now over 20 times larger than last year — It’s “taken on a volcano-like quality”






1 August, 2013


Title: One year later: Bayou Corne sinkhole still a mystery
Source: The Advocate
Author: David Mitchell
Date: August 1, 2013
[...] Since that day, one year ago Saturday, the 24-acre sinkhole has grown by a factor of more than 20 and taken on a volcano-like quality. The sinkhole has dormant periods and active periods, when tremors increase and methane and an emulsified oily gunk are released from deep natural deposits. [...]
The possibility of the evacuation continuing a year later has surprised Triche. He said he would have expected some kind continuing response a year after the sinkhole but not the continued threat to residents.
I would have never for the life of me thought we’d been a year out still in this same predicament that were in: a sinkhole that’s continuously evolving, natural gas continuing to vent, and bubbles in and around communities,” [Assumption Parish Police Jury President Martin “Marty” Triche] said. [...]
As the legal and buyout process grinds forward, Bayou Corne appears headed inexorably toward the fate of a growing number of communities and neighborhoods that have made way for Louisiana industries. [...]




Revealed: The deeper they check underneath Fukushima plant, the higher contamination levels get — Now sampling over 40 feet below surface


1 August, 2013


Cesium levels in water under Fukushima No. 1 plant soar the deeper it gets, Tepco reveals [...]
Tepco found 950 million becquerels of cesium and 520 million becquerels of beta ray-emitting radioactive substances, including strontium, in the water from 13 meters [~43 feet] underground.
Water from 1 meter down contained 340 million becquerels, and a sample from 7 meters down contained 350 million becquerels.
[...] Cesium, a metallic element, is subject to gravity. [...]



Japan Expert: Contamination from Fukushima flowing beneath seafloor? “Could spring up outside the port”



TEPCO’s N-plant delays cause for worry
[...] Atsunao Marui, head of the Groundwater Research Group at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, said, “Groundwater also flows beneath the seafloor, so it’s possible that contaminated groundwater could spring up outside the port.”
Marui added that water outside the port also needs to be carefully checked. [...]
