    An earlier 9/11 disaster you may not have heard about.

    https://www.theatlantic.com/national...-about/261959/

    Article I came across on nuclear fuel production accident at Rocky Flats plant in Colorado.
    About 2 fires, one in 1957 and one in 1969.
    No enemy of America would have ever been killed if they didn't show up to be killed. HDR

    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    ive heard of this, only because my brother is in college studying to be a nuclear engineer. i feel we would be so far advanced as a country if it ewrent for the tree hugging hippie assholes that ruin everything. nuclear power is a clean cheap renewable resource that could provide everyone with cheap reliable power if accepted universaslly, however, liberals who want to destroy our enviornemet with things like windmills and solar panels have let nuclear fall by the wayside, and stagnate teh technology in the 1970's era.

    also, as fukushima was mentioned, im not sure how theor plant was designed, but there is a failsafe built into us plants that places like chernoybl didnt have (im not the nuclear engineer of the family, so i may not get this 100% correct) but the chernoybly plants used graphite rods allow movenemt of the fusionable atoms, with water to cool it. when the water stopped, the fusion kept going reaching critical tempratures and... we all kno what happened next. weheras us designed plants use water to promote the fustion, so if the cooling stops, the reaction stops. no possibility of a runaway caused by a shutdown.

    Considering we never hear about the Japan disaster, it must of not been the end of the world as prophesied by the media............ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C5R7F8G...ng=UTF8&btkr=1 Great read and scary. We've dropped nukes right off the Georgia or the Carolina's One safety feature was all that prevented massive death. http://www.businessinsider.com/nucle...c-swamp-2017-5
