Thread Name: BS: Do you live near a nuclear plant?
Subject: RE: BS: Do you live near a nuclear plant?
This has been mentioned in this link too . I am 100 miles north of the nuke plane neat Sacramento ,Ca. I believe it has been de-commissioned. Once it was shut down when someone dropped a wrench behind the control board when trying to change a lightbulb and something got shorted out by that. The cooling ponds where the water was stored after geing used to cool down the heat (or whatever the cooling ponds were used for) were said to be the breeding grounds for mutant frogs one of which was suppposed to have won the Calaveras Frog Jumping Contest. I also live within a few miles of the RR tracks where a "nuke" train has been known to travel. The nuclear waste carried in this train comes from Asia, where nuclear power plants have been exported by the U.S. The waste products are carried across the ocean, and then across land to a NUCLEAR DUMP SITE. Possibly in Idaho. There is also waste stored in Hanford, Washington. Plans are in progress to locate a resting place for radioactive waste in Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The waste products are the most questionable part of the nuclear power industry. This and the connection with the nuclear weapons industry make the whole radioactive business terrible.
