Important Nuclear Plant Spills Radioactive Water Into Lake Michigan Nuclear plant spills radioactive water into Lake Michigan NRC: 79 Gallons Of Mildly Radioactive Water From Palisades was released. A leaking water tank is blamed for the latest shutdown at the Palisades nuclear power plant. Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokeswoman Viktoria Mitlyng says over the weekend, some "mildly radioactive" water got into Lake Michigan Radioactive water was released into Lake Michigan before Palisades nuclear plant shutdown Sunday. Before Sunday's shutdown of Palisades Nuclear Power Plant, about 79 gallons of diluted radioactive water were released into Lake Michigan, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Monday, May 6. The nuclear power plant was offline Monday as inspectors and Palisades staff worked on finding and repairing the leak. The tank will have to be drained to determine the location of the leak. Palisades has been under extra scrutiny after a series of safety issues in 2011. In September, the NRC conducted an 11-day inspection of the plant and determined that those problems had been "adequately addressed" by operators, but that additional monitoring was warranted. NRC: 'Very slightly radioactive water' enters Lake Michigan. A federal safety official says that 79 gallons of "very slightly radioactive water" from a leaky tank at the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant spilled into Lake Michigan. Operators of the southwestern Michigan plant shut it down Sunday after discovering a growing leak Saturday in a water storage tank. The NRC is sending a metallurgy expert to locate the source of the leak. Comment: VERY SCIENTIFIC -MILDLY. Let see, mildly dead, mildly ill, with terminal cancer, mild leukemia, you can really use this convention to provide "comfort" to the unwashed masses of humanity the power companies have to "talk down to". Isn't that like being a 'little bit' pregnant? "mildly radioactive" "diluted radioactive water" "Very slightly radioactive water" enenews.com/just-in-nuclear-plant-spills-radioactive-water-into-lake-michigan/comment-page-1 Radioactive water was released into Lake Michigan before Palisades nuclear plant shutdown Sunday. But by the time the water reached the lake, the level of radioactivity had been diluted to the point where it did not represent a health or safety risk, a spokeswoman for the NRC said. www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2013/05/water_leak_at_palisades_nuclea.html Nearly 80 gallons of 'slightly radioactive water' leaks into Lake Michigan There is no risk to human health because the radioactive material was further diluted when it entered a storage basin before flowing into the lake, NRC spokeswoman Viktoria Mitlyng told The Associated Press. She said there is "absolutely" no risk to human health. www.freep.com/article/20130506/NEWS06/305060107/lake-michigan-radioactive-water-palisades-plant Follow Me, Click On These Links: www.youtube.com/user/kazvswild www.youtube.com/user/freedom4kaz2 www.youtube.com/user/ChemtrailSunsets www.freespeak.net/profile-67/
