Three Nuclear Disasters are Now Unfolding Inside the US
As Americans Argue Over Which
Bathroom to Use
As the debate over which bathroom an individual should
use based on their sexual identity heats up, we are witnessing the ignorant and
brash nature of state enforcement of these edicts come to a head.
It is not only a distraction and a means for the state to get involved in your bowel movements, but it paints the trans and gay community in a negative light by asserting there is some sexual stigma involved in relieving one’s bladder.
The end result of such obstinate legalese clouding the minds of the public is going to be state violence initiated against individuals who have caused zero harm.
As individuals argue over how much government should be in the bathroom, nuclear environmental disasters are unfolding before our eyes. However, many Americans are too blinded by the blue glow of the television to notice.
According to a Missouri emergency plan recently distributed by St. Louis County officials, in recent months, a fire at the Bridgeton Landfill is closing in on a nuclear waste dump. The landfill fire has been burning for over five years, and they have been unable to contain it thus far.
There are clouds of smoke that have been billowing from the site, making the air in parts of St. Louis heavily polluted.
In 2013, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster sued Republic Services, the company responsible for the landfill, charging the company with neglecting the site and harming the local environment.
Last year, city officials became concerned that the fire may reach the nearby West Lake Landfill, which is littered with decades worth of nuclear waste from government projects and weapons manufacturing.
Remnants from the Manhattan Project and the cold war have been stuffed there for generations. The site has been under the control of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1990, but they have not made any significant effort to clean up the waste.
In December of last year, the EPA announced that it would install a physical barrier in an effort to isolate the nuclear waste.
But the timeline given by the EPA said it could take up to a year to complete. Residents aren’t comforted by that timetable, and think the government, despite years of warning, has done too little to stave off a possible environmental disaster. They are right.
To add to the legitimacy of the residents’ worries were about the government’s timeline, the ground has yet to be broken, the fire is still smoldering, and the EPA just finalized, on Thursday, an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (Settlement) requiring Bridgeton Landfill, LLC to start work on the isolation barrier system at the West Lake Landfill Superfund Site.
Aside from the threat of the U.S. Military’s decades-old nuclear waste erupting into flames in the near future, there are also two nuclear reactors inside the United States, which have been leaking for months.
In Florida, a recent study commissioned by Miami-Dade County concluded that the area’s four-decades-old nuclear power plants at Turkey Point are leaking polluted water into Biscayne Bay.
This has raised alarm among county officials and environmentalists that the plant, which sits on the coastline, is polluting the bay’s surface waters and its fragile ecosystem, reports the NY Times.
In the past two years, bay waters near the plant have had a large saltwater plume that is slowly moving toward wells several miles away that supply drinking water to millions of residents in Miami and the Florida Keys.
Samples taken during the study show everything from the deadly radioactive isotope, tritium, to elevated levels of salt, ammonia, and phosphorous.
So far, according to the scientists conducting the study, the levels of tritium are too low to harm people. However, in December, and January, the levels were far higher than they should be in nearby ocean water which is a telling sign of a much larger underlying problem.
“We now know exactly where the pollution is coming from, and we have a tracer that shows it’s in the national park,” said Laura Reynolds, an environmental consultant who is working with the Tropical Audubon Society and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, which intend to file the lawsuit, according to the Times.
“We are worried about the marine life there and the future of Biscayne Bay.”
Fifteen hundred miles north of the leaking reactors in Florida is the Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York.
Since the beginning of this year, there’s been an uncontrollable radioactive flow from the Indian Point nuclear power plant continues leaking into groundwater, which leads to the Hudson River, raising the specter of a Fukushima-like disaster only 25 miles from New York City.
The Indian Point nuclear plant is located on the Hudson River and serves the electrical needs of an estimated 2 million people.
In January, while preparing a reactor for refueling, workers accidentally spilled some contaminated water, containing the radioactive hydrogen isotope tritium, causing a massive radiation spike in groundwater monitoring wells, with one well’s radioactivity increasing by as much as 65,000 percent.
The tritium leak is the ninth in just the past year, four of which were severe enough to shut down the reactors.
But the most recent leak, however, according to an assessment by the New York Department of State as part of its Coastal Zone Management Assessment, contains a variety of radioactive elements such as strontium-90, cesium-137, cobalt-60, and nickel-63, and isn’t limited to tritium contamination.
As the utility companies and government agencies continue to downplay the severity of these situations, the residents who live the closest to these spots are already feeling the effects.
According to a report by RT, Radiation and Public Health Project researchers compared the state and national cancer data from 1988-92 with three other five-year periods (1993-97, 1998-02, and 2003-07).
The results, published in 2009, show the cancer rates going from 11 percent below the national average to 7 percent above in that timespan. Unexpected increases were detected in 19 out of 20 major types of cancer.
Thyroid cancer registered the biggest increase, going from 13 percent below the national average to 51 percent above.
Sadly, it seems, government officials care more about locking people in cages for possessing arbitrary substances than they do about the potential for nuclear environmental disasters.
As multiple Fukushima-like scenarios continue to unfold across the country, the media, who is largely beholden to the special interests behind these disasters, remain mum.
Instead of showing Americans the things that actually affect them, strawmen, red herrings, puppet politicians, and two-party talking points are shoved down our collective throats — and the majority of people are pacified.
Until Americans change their preference for being lied to and stolen from, we can only expect more of the same.

Two Nuclear Leaks in the United States, One Likely Worse Than Fukushima (Videos)
With a little digging, it’s not hard to find multiple sites around the U.S. which have been reported to leak, but since our grossly corrupt mainstream media doesn’t cover “real” news, and instead only acts as the propaganda arm for the Democrat Party, Americans remain clueless about many things they have every right to expect the media to report on. The following article and videos focus on the nuclear facilities located at Indian Point, which is just upriver from NYC, and the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station which sits adjacent to Biscayne National Park, Florida.
In the first video, you’ll learn that the Indian Point plant is located upriver from NYC, and it’s a serious threat to the whole region, according to watchdog group Riverkeeper. “It’s a disaster waiting to happen and it should be shut down,” Paul Gallay, president of Riverkeeper, told CBS News. Indian Point has been operating for around 40 years, and generates about 25 percent of the electric power for Westchester and New York City. The plant, owned by Entergy, is leaking tritium, a radioactive substance.
Three of the forty Indian Point wells showed an increase in radioactive material, and one of the wells showed a 65,000 percent increase. Entergy states that this leak will not harm local inhabitants, as the groundwater is located on their property. John J. Kelly, former director of licensing for Indian Point and a certified healthy physicist, said that tritium is a radioactive form of hydrogen that is found naturally. “It’s more of a regulatory problem than an environmental problem,” said Kelly.
Turkey Point is not the sole leaky plant in America. Last month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo acknowledged that the state’s Indian Point Nuclear facility was leaking tritium into groundwater. Meanwhile, The Vermont Department of Health has noted ongoing investigations into leaks at Vermont Yankee since 2010, while New York’s FitzPatrick Plant has been “plagued by water leaks” in 2014, Gizmodo notes.
The
University of Miami has found that the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant,
located just South of Miami, has caused levels of tritium, a radioactive
isotope produced by nuclear reactors, in Biscayne Bay to spike to 200-times
higher than normal levels.
This
would confirm suspicions that Turkey Point’s aging canals are leaking into the
nearby national park.
The
site’s cooling canals, which are the part of the facility that appears to be
leaking the radiation, are currently permitted to operate at 104 degrees, the
hottest in the nation.
“This is one of several things we were very worried
about,” South Miami Mayor Philip Stoddard, who is also a biological sciences
professor at Florida International University, told the Miami New Times.
“You would have to work hard to find a worse place to put
a nuclear plant, right between two national parks and subject to hurricanes and
storm surge.”
Samples
of the water at various depths and sites around the power plant showed elevated
levels of salt, ammonia, phosphorous and tritium.
“We now know exactly where the pollution is coming from,
and we have a tracer that shows it is in the national park,” said Laura
Reynolds, an environmental consultant who is working with the Tropical Audubon Society
and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, which intended to file the
lawsuit.
“We are worried about the marine life there and the
future of Biscayne Bay.”
While
all of this should sound alarms, nobody especially people who could do
something about seems to care.
“What is happening at Turkey Point is a real danger to
us, to our water supply,” said Jose’ Javier Rodriguez.
“The fact that there is salt being dumped into the
aquifer and the fact that there are contaminants in Biscayne Bay really should
have sounded an alarm. But as of yet, we’re still waiting for state regulators
to step up.”
But do not let us make you think this is the only leak in
the United States. Last month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo acknowledged that the
state’s Indian Point Nuclear facility was leaking tritium into groundwater.
New
York governor Andrew Cuomo recently called for an investigation after Indian Point, a nuclear power plant on the Hudson
River reported a leak of radioactive material flowing into the
groundwater.
Samples taken from the local groundwater show
that contamination levels are 80% higher than previous samples, prompting experts to
claim this leak is spreading in “a disaster waiting to happen” and calling for
the plant to be shut down completely.
Cuomo
has encouraged Entergy to shut down Indian Point, but to keep its other plants
further upstate open.
Entergy
responded with:
“While elevated tritium in the ground onsite is not in
accordance with our standards, there is no health or safety consequence to the
public, Releases are more than a thousand times below federal permissible
limits. The tritium did not affect any source of drinking water onsite or
offsite.”
The
Indian Point nuclear plant is located on the Hudson River,
approximately 25 miles North of NYC, and serves the electrical needs of an
estimated 2 million people.
In January while preparing a reactor for refueling,
workers accidentally spilled some of the contaminated water, containing the
radioactive hydrogen isotope tritium, causing a massive radiation spike in
groundwater monitoring wells, with one well’s radioactivity increasing by as
much as 65,000 percent.
And
according to an assessment by the New York Department of State as part of its
Coastal Zone Management Assessment contains a variety of radioactive elements
such as strontium-90, cesium-137, cobalt-60, and nickel-63, and isn’t limited
to tritium contamination.
Some even
say this leak is likely worse than Fukushima.
According
to both companies, the leaks haven’t contaminated drinking water and do not
pose a threat to human health.
Tritium,
while less potent than other substances like cesium or strontium or radium, can
be harmful in high enough concentrations, even lethal.
The
New York Incident made headlines across the region,
anti-nuclear groups warned the state was “flirting with catastrophe,” and Gov.
Andrew Cuomo ordered an investigation into the matter.
The
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission has repeatedly weakened federal
regulations to allow plants to keep operating, despite thousands of problems
ranging from corroded pipes to cracked concrete and radioactive leaks.
People
continuously ignore problems like this to avoid public panic, but things like
this cannot be ignored forever.
If
people keep ignoring the news that is right in front of their faces the world
is going to begin going downhill faster than it already is.
