Today, we drove into the mouth of the beast — Location : 1/4 mile south of the Byron Illinois Nuclear power plant. We passed within a few hundred feet of the structures. Got some GREAT shots of the steam venting near the reactor buildings.
This nuclear plant ‘vented’ clouds of steam laced with tritium this past week — the clouds were blown by prevailing winds over downtown Chicago, IL. Thus the reason for this measurement taking trip. Todays levels near the plant directly are below the alert level of 100CPM — but a full 20CPM above downtown Chicago (those tests will be uploaded later tonight).
Todays measurements averaged between 45cpm and 48cpm. Several more to still be processed and uploaded.. most averaging in the 50CPM range..
Many thanks to international medcom for the 2nd Inspector Alert geiger counter. Here is a link to their site (they are the manufacturer of the Inspector Alert geiger ) http://medcom.com/
These ‘mid level’ readings — half way to the alert level of 100CPM— leads me to believe that the tritium is dissipating as expected — however some elevated amounts still remain.
ANOTHER nuclear power plant has some serious issues. Marking three this week. Chicago Illinois – Byron Nuclear Power plant ….. San Diego California – San Onofre Nuclear Power plant ….. and now the Theoretical/Experimental Physics Nuclear Power institute in Moscow Russia.
The headline: A fire in the basement at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics in southwestern Moscow.
Clearly Nuclear materials are stored at this reactor… how much? did any escape? We most likely will never know.
As I said at the outset of this article, this makes THREE nuclear reactors in ONE WEEK that have had leaks, steam venting/shutdowns, and now literal fires. And just like in Chicago, and San Diego — getting a straight story from the nuclear agency is IMPOSSIBLE!
The quote from the russian Nuclear agency contradicts the headline of the article… something strange going on with this…
quote:
“Russia’s nuclear agency said there were no open flames and no threat of a radiation leak.”
A quote “fire in the basement” has occurred — we know the “fukushima theory”.. if you don’t know what Im talking about (the impacting of the methane layer – deep earth shaft explosions).. here are the links to read about this strange development this past year:
Here is a list of radiation monitoring links I have assembled most still work (some are related to the fukushima fallout from Japan and have fallen silent):
