So there are tons of people living in Saint Louis. Most don't even know that they're living next to a ticking time bomb....that is probably going off soon. (Soon = 3-6 months worst case, but there are people already reporting burning eyes)St. Louis burning: A ticking time bomb beneath the city? May 1, 2015 5:00AM ET "In 1973, radioactive waste a private company had bought from the government was illegally dumped at the landfill. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission recommended the waste be removed in 1988, but the company that now owns the land has — with EPA approval — opted for containment as opposed to removal, maintaining that the waste there is low-level when it comes to radioactivity, and not a threat to public health.
But it may not be that simple. Government documents unearthed by residents suggest that the extent of the contamination may be far worse — perhaps at an unprecedented level, some experts say. Following a largely broken or incomplete paper trail, residents and activists have found evidence that there may be soil laced with uranium, thorium and radium buried there.
And there is another problem: the fire. It smolders underneath an adjacent landfill, burning at some 300 degrees and slowly moving toward where the waste is thought to be.
Nobody is quite sure what will happen if the two meet, but locals and the county are preparing for the worst: a nuclear emergency in the middle of St. Louis."Underground fire outside St. Louis has burned since 2010, nears nuclear waste dump"Beneath the surface of a St. Louis-area landfill lurk two things that should never meet: a slow-burning fire and a cache of Cold War-era nuclear waste, separated by no more than 1,200 feet.
Government officials have quietly adopted an emergency plan in case the smoldering embers ever reach the waste, a potentially "catastrophic event" that could send up a plume of radioactive smoke over a densely populated area near the city's main airport.
Although the fire at Bridgeton Landfill has been burning since at least 2010, the plan for a worst-case scenario was developed only a year ago and never publicized until this week, when St. Louis radio station KMOX first obtained a copy.
County Executive Steve Stenger cautioned that the plan "is not an indication of any imminent danger."
"It is county government's responsibility to protect the health, safety and well-being of all St. Louis County residents," he said in a statement...."They have a live meeting going on, and it is quite clear, the population at large does not even know it's happening and there was a plan in place. One person there asked why it wasn't on the news. That's a good question. She said she only found out about this meeting because of a facebook group she belonged to. Potential “Nuclear Fallout” Imminent As Radioactive Waste Sets to Burn in Missouri & No One Cares"Although the fire has been burning for over 5 years and the city began making evacuation plans last year, they didn’t tell the public until this past week, when they leaked the emergency plans to local news station KMOX."
Don't you think that maybe they should have done everything they could do to STOP the fire before it got to Radioactive Waste? Maybe gotten the plans out as soon as they were available?

From March 7, 2013Bill Gates' landfill explodes near radioactive waste in Missouri
"Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, is now the biggest shareholder in Republic Services, which operates an exploding landfill near a nuclear waste site.
Funny thing is they don't want to call it an explosion. It's being called a "void space with pressurized gas." Or "a violent forceful event."
The violent forceful event follows months of complaints by residents who live near Bridgeton Landfill. They were smelling foul odors that came from the landfill's underground fire. KMOV reports:
Dawn Chapman, who lives more than two miles away, says she smelled the foul odors in her neighborhood.
She has concerns that what’s burning underground could reach the nearby Westlake landfill just to the north, which has radioactive waste...
Republic Services out of Arizona operates the landfill. Two years ago, it found underground temperatures were increasing dramatically and began drilling to reduce the heat, in the process releasing the smelly gas.
The company has said repeatedly that because the landfill sits in a huge limestone quarry that acts as a barrier under the ground, there’s no way any sort of fire could reach Westlake.
“Isn’t that the same thing they said about the Titantic,” said resident Mark Neels. “I’m a historian by trade and what I’ve discovered is that hypotheticals have a funny way of becoming reality.”
That comment inspired a poem, to be sung to the tune of "It Was Sad When That Great Ship Went Down."
It Was Sad When the Landfill Blew Up
Oh they built Allied/Republic
To pick up the trash from you
And the more they charge your city, then your taxes go up too
Republic wants to make more dough
So safety's the first thing to go
It was sad when the landfill blew up.
CHORUS:
It was sad. It was sad.
It was sad when the landfill blew up.
Trash building up methane gas...it was too good to last
It was sad when Republic's landfill blew up.
Nuclear waste was dumped
A bunch of years ago
And it's right next to this landfill
That's on fire down below
Republic claims it's as safe as can be
To have fire near radioactivity
It was sad when the landfill blew up.
[CHORUS]
Now, Bill Gates is the main owner
Of this huge trash company
So when he makes those giant profits
Know those come from you and me
Republic needs to respect the members
Of our community
It was sad when the landfill blew up."

Nuclear energy would be the best possible energy for the health of the planet if it could be done safely, with a way do safely dispose of the nuclear waste. Unfortunately, stories like this show why we need to stay away from nuclear at all costs!

Nuclear energy would be the best possible energy for the health of the planet if it could be done safely, with a way do safely dispose of the nuclear waste. Unfortunately, stories like this show why we need to stay away from nuclear at all costs!
And the fall out from Fukushima is still happening... After 4 years, Fukushima nuclear cleanup remains daunting, vastFukushima Didn’t Just Suffer 3 Meltdowns … It Also Suffered Melt-THROUGHS and Melt-OUTS"...So the hottest hot particle found so far is 5 million billion times greater than the current government limits of what can be put in a landfill.
In other words, the core of at least one of the Fukushima reactors has finally been found … scattered all over Japan..."‘85% of Japanese don’t trust nuclear energy after Fukushima
"...Suzuki says the effects of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 are still being felt today.
He says parts of Japan will forever remain uninhabitable, with some potentially high risk regions still being evacuated.
The ongoing evacuations have led to widespread public mistrust in the safety of the industry and government’s nuclear policies.
It’s believed between 80 to 85 percent of the population believe a phase out or immediate shut down of the nuclear industry is the only option..." |

Officials squabble as underground fire burns near radioactive waste dump in St. Louis area"Corporate, federal and state officials don't agree on what kind of threat West Lake Landfill poses to residents, or even if it poses a threat at all. Various scientists and officials have presented clashing stories to the public about whether the underground fire is moving and what might happen if it reaches the nuclear waste.
There might be a dangerous radioactive plume that forces residents to take shelter indoors or evacuate, St. Louis County emergency officials say.
Environmental Protection Agency officials counter that there might be a bit of radon gas, which may not even escape the landfill's perimeter.
The Missouri attorney general's office, which is suing the landfill's owner, contends the fire is creeping closer to the radioactive materials.
The EPA, however, says the fire is staying put.
"We just do not agree with the finding that the subsurface smoldering event is approaching the radiologically impacted material," said Mary Peterson, director of the Superfund division for EPA Region 7.
Residents have been baffled to learn that radioactive waste exists at the dump, and even more puzzled that regulators have yet to finalize a plan to contain or remove the nuclear material — four decades after a company illegally dumped it. The EPA is still evaluating whether to place a cap on the site, or excavate the radioactive material, or both.
"Somebody owes you an apology if you're just now finding out about this," Dawn Chapman, a resident and an activist, told hundreds of concerned people who jammed into a church for a meeting about the landfill last week...."

Video: Why They Cant Put The Fire Out At The WestLake Landfill The Bridgeton Landfill Fire Explained (Updated)"In recent weeks, there’s been a flurry of stories and reports about the Bridgeton (Mo.) Sanitary Landfill. An underground fire has smoldered on the site for more than nearly five years, which is of concern because of radioactive waste that was buried on the site illegally in 1973.
Technically, what's taking place is not a fire. It is an exothermic reaction, meaning it is a chemical, heat producing reaction.
Here is what you need to know about the situation in Missouri....." |

Video: Outrage! Tainted Water Spills at St. Louis Landfill Where Underground Fire Burns News: St. Louis moms up in arms over nuclear waste fears"ST. LOUIS-- Thousands of gallons of tainted water spilled last night at the Bridgeton landfill near St. Louis where an underground fire has been burning next to an old nuclear waste dump.
Mothers from North Saint Louis County are convinced their local landfill is on the brink of a nuclear emergency putting their families at risk.
They carried their petitions in a child's casket -- demanding the governor declare a state of emergency and chanted, "Governor Nixon, save the day, make the fire go away."
Karen Nickell organized the group which gathers in each other's basements pouring over charts and looking up chemical terminology about the West Lake Landfill.
"It breaks my heart to know that it takes moms of a community to devote almost 24 hours a day to do what agencies and elected officials should have been doing all along," Nickell said. Nickell was among hundreds of residents at a raucous meeting this week demanding answers from environmental officials. "We are sick. Our kids are sick and we are dying," Nickell said.
Their primary concern stems from sites where waste from America's nuclear weapons program is buried in a landfill...." |

Video: St Louis Nuke Dump Could Cause a Fukushima on Mississippi Rense
"If the “sub-surface smoldering event” reaches the radiological area, there is a potential for radioactive fallout to be released in the smoke plume and spread throughout the region… This event will most likely occur with little or no warning. Officials… are aware of the possible occurrence of an emergency or major disaster requiring an emergency shelter in place or evacuation… It may be necessary to request assistance through… federal sources.
Missouri Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, Sep 17, 2015 (at 27:00 in): “There are references that are in the reports that the Attorney General did with independent scientists where they say that what we have under the ground could end up as Chernobyl. What I am concerned about are the 40,000 tons of uranium that have been spread all over the place… We’re talking about the most potent uranium in the world… We’re looking at the cancer clusters… We’re looking at the number of children who have double sets of teeth, children who have missing eyeballs, the number of children who have brain tumors. This is not consistent with a normal community whatsoever.”
St. Louis Post-Dispatch Editorial, Oct 10, 2015: Mr. Koster released reports last month saying an underground fire at the Bridgeton Landfill was moving toward radioactive waste in the adjacent West Lake Landfill… Some of the radioactive contamination was found outside of West Lake… [A]n order from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources [was made] to prevent the chemical reaction from spreading to the north (West Lake) and possibly igniting… Something must be done and it should not take a cataclysmic event to make that happen.
St. Louis Public Radio, Sep 17, 2015: Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster released reports that radiation from the West Lake Landfill… has spread to neighboring properties. The reports also suggested that an underground fire… is moving toward radioactive waste and could reach it as soon three to six months.
Daily Star, Oct 8, 2015: Nuclear disaster fears as fire nears Cold War bomb dump; The world is on the brink of a nuclear disaster as fire rages towards a cache of Cold War nukes — A secret emergency plan has been drawn up as an underground blaze creeps towards a waste dump containing radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project. The leaked document warns a “catastrophic event” will be triggered if the nuclear material is ignited… radioactive smoke could erupt over the densely-populated area of St Louis.

The whole East Coast is essentially a Nuclear Landfill.
Two Dozen Fukushima's At the Same Time?
Keep Your Fingers Crossed and Pray Hurricane Florence could unleash two dozen Fukushima's. Nobody in the MSM or in government are talking about the dangers. What do the experts say?
Lessons Learned from Fukushima
Fukushima is often spoken of by many, as a possible extinction level event because of the radiation threat. Fukushima was an extinction level event for the Pacific Ocean and it continues to wreak havoc upon the world and in the United States as we are being bathed in deadly radiation from this event.
Because of Fukushima, fish are becoming inedible and the ocean currents as well as the prevailing ocean winds are carrying deadly radiation. Undoubtedly, by this time, the radioactivity has made its way into the transpiration cycle which means that crops are being dowsed with deadly radiation. The radiation has undoubtedly made its way into the water table in many areas and impacts every aspect of the food supply. The health costs to human beings is incalculable. However, this article is not about the devastation at Fukushima, instead, this article focuses on the fact that North America could have a total of 124 Fukushima events if the necessary conditions were present.
A Festering Problem
Long before Fukushima, American regulators knew that a power failure lasting for days involving the power grid connected to a nuclear plant, regardless of the cause, including a disabling hurricane, would most likely lead to a dangerous radioactive leak in at least several nuclear power plants. A complete loss of electrical power poses a major problem for nuclear power plants because the reactor core must be kept cool as well as the back-up cooling systems, all of which require massive amounts of power to work. Heretofore, all the NERC drills which test the readiness of a nuclear power plant are predicated on the notion that a blackout will only last 24 hours or less. Amazingly, this is the sum total of a NERC litmus test.
Critical Analyses
According to Judy Haar, a recognized expert in nuclear plant failure analyses, when a nuclear power plant loses access to off-grid electricity, the event is referred to as a "station blackout". Haar states that all 104 US nuclear power plants are built to withstand electrical outages without experiencing any core damage, through the activation of an automatic start up of emergency generators powered by diesel. However, the ability to withstand such an event (eg Hurricane Florence), is not limitless. Are the authorities doing what they need to do to protect the power integrity of the two dozen power plants (ie nuclear) that stand in the way?
Further, when emergency power kicks in, an automatic shutdown of the nuclear power plant commences. The dangerous control rods are dropped into the core, while water is pumped by the diesel power generators into the reactor to reduce the heat and thus, prevent a meltdown. Here is the catch in this process, the spent fuel rods are encased in both a primary and secondary containment structure which is designed to withstand a core meltdown. However, should the pumps stop because either the generators fail or diesel fuel is not available, the fuel rods are subsequently uncovered and a Fukushima type of core meltdown commences immediately. At this point, I took Judy Haar's comments to a source of mine at the Palo Verde Nuclear power plant. My source informed me that as per NERC policy, nuclear power plants are required to have enough diesel fuel to run for a period of seven days. Some plants have thirty days of diesel. This is the good news, but it is all downhill after the 7/30 day scenarios. Let us collectively pray that is enough for what is coming.
The Unresolved Power Blackout Problem
A more detailed analysis reveals that the spent fuel pools carry depleted fuel for the reactor. Normally, this spent fuel has had time to considerably decay and therefore, reducing radioactivity and heat. However, the newer discharged fuel still produces heat and needs cooling. Housed in high density storage racks, contained in buildings that vent directly into the atmosphere, radiation containment is not accounted for with regard to the spent fuel racks. In other words, there is no capture mechanism. In this scenario, accompanied by a lengthy electrical outage, and with the emergency power waning due to either generator failure or a lack of diesel needed to power the generators, the plant could lose the ability to provide cooling. The water will subsequently heat up, boil away and uncover the spent fuel rods which required being covered in at least 25 feet of water to remain benign from any deleterious effects. Ultimately, this would lead to fires as well and the release of radioactivity into the atmosphere. This would be the beginning of another Fukushima event right here on American soil. Both my source and Haar shared exactly the same scenario about how a meltdown would occur. Subsequently, I spoke with Roger Landry who worked for Raytheon in various Department of Defense projects for 28 years, many of them in this arena and Roger also confirmed this information and that the above information is well known in the industry.
Placing Odds On a Failure Is a Fools Errand
An analysis of individual plant risks released in 2003 by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission shows that for 39 of the 104 nuclear reactors, the risk of core damage from a blackout was greater than 1 in 100,000. At 45 other plants the risk is greater than 1 in 1 million, the threshold NRC is using to determine which severe accidents should be evaluated in its latest analysis. According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1, in Pennsylvania has the greatest risk of experiencing a core meltdown, 6.5 in 100,000, according to the analysis. These odds don't sound like much until you consider that we have 124 nuclear power generating plants in the US and Canada and when we consider each individual facility, the odds of failure climb. How many meltdowns would it take in this country before our citizens would be condemned to the hellish nightmare, or worse, being experienced by the Japanese on a permanent basis?
