Oil leak closes Shearon Harris for repairs

[sarcasm]
You guys are making jokes about the end of life as we know it?!?!?!?

Why aren't you banging on 5 gallon buckets and marching around the courhouse to save us from almost-armageddon!

THIS IS SERIOUS!  NCWARN says so!

Stop with the jokes!  Stop with the fun!  Nuclear power is going to be the end of us all!

Everyone who works for Progress is a suicidal/homicidal maniac.  They want to kill themselves and their families and so they don't maintain the plant, they designed it poorly, and they don't pay attention to the level of Harris Lake, they don't try to secure the plant... heck, they probably wouldn't have cleaned up this oil spill if WRAL hadn't gotten ahold of this story.

None of the employees have to use electricity anyway, since they all glow in the dark and can cook food with their nuclear waste powered eyes...

Just remember, the worst disaster in the history of the US nuclear industry killed zero people!  0!  Get out the buckets, hand-write some posters, grow out your body hair, and find your tambourine!  It almost/could have been the big one this time.

I know this is sarcasm but perhaps you should indicate it in the post (hard to infer from text, but I have seen you previous posts so I know that's what it is.

Of course we know anything in a nuke plant is highly radioactive - oil, drinking water, cars in the parking lot and if anything fails it leads to a hiroshima type explosion.

And I was so looking forward to glowing in the dark.

advice taken.

[seitaer]

Protesting nuclear power, and protesting shearon harris are two different things anyway.

[snowcamper]

So some people are just really gung-ho?  They protest nuclear power and they protest Shearon Harris at the same time, using the same 5 gallon bucket?  Gotta give them kudos for efficiency.

Glowing in the dark ain't all it's cracked up to be. I worked at Harris for 22 years, and I can say that the glow is a dark blue, which isn't good to read by. And the glow goes away after a couple of years anyway.

Random thoughts on Armageddon:

Will someone let me know when I can crawl out of my fallout shelter?

I mean, NCWARN keeps telling us that things like this are proof that catastrophe is just around the corner...

All of the BBS liberals ought to be worried that I might be the only living person left to run Chatham County if that things goes.  I think that only Silk Hope would have time to join me before the fallout reached us.

I'm surprised they shut the plant down for such a thing... they usually have such a suicidal impulse that they ignore routine maintenance and never check things like the coolant lake levels.  The helpless, ignorant employees there are well known for endangering their families and communities by deliberately ignoring all dangers and warning signs.  None of them know what they're doing, either.

To hear NCWARN tell it, they maintain the plant similar to the way the government maintains our school buildings...

I wonder what was more dangerous... leaking oil at a nuclear plant or the discharge by the biofuels place...  Or the traffic jams created by the magic bus.

Windmills would be so much safer.  Since we have very little wind in this part of NC, they would go practically unused and therefore need little maintenance.  Windmills would never have an oil leakage like Shearon did  and since each windmill would have a dedicated team of employees, any such leaks would be caught quickly   .

How many birds died during this accident?  How many could have died?

How many members of NCWARN does it take to change a light bulb?  Answer:  Renewable, all natural, organic, free range, whale fat candles.  Lightbulbs are for people who hate the planet.

This oil leak is one more proof of global warming.

You crack me up Camper!!!

I was 70 miles from TMI when it melted, no worries here, we even drove to Central PA to retrieve my sister from college during the incident. I had a I Survived TMI t-shirt years ago.

Guess you missed TMI reunion leak this week?

[wolfpat]

The TMI thing wasn't a leak. They're cutting a lot of BIG and THICK piping. During normal operation, there are dead spots in the piping where there's not much movement, and radioactive crud tends to collect there. Some of it got jarred loose and then blown around by the ventilation systems.

This was much ado about nothing. I've gotten worse radiation doses during normal operations at Brunswick plant.
