the guys at the plant seem a bit cavalier about the whole thing.
From the CNN article:
“Palo Verde is the largest electrical producer of any power plant in the country — the equivalent of nine Hoover Dams.”
Holy crap! I had no idea.

you need to open your eyes amigo.

i could tell you stories about that place for days. but suffice to say the area is subject to bigger problems both geologic and atmospheric.

someone with a bomb is a realtively minor threat compaired to ol’ mama nature.
@
in fact heres a tip for all you tucson weekly scribes who may have some down time between writing copy for best of tucsons: put in a request for every press release they’ve issued over the past five years (ten is better but begin w/five).
@
remove the fluff and put together a portrait of that place utilizing the “woops” notifications (whoops we dropped XXX but don’t worry everything is okay).
@
also two questions to ask:
@
1. where does the waste go? hint: the az defacto waste dump which is more hazardous than the energy generation.
2. how important is water to safe operations there?
@
do it right an you and guys might even have an award winning series on your hands that will be picked up nationally. yip. it be true.
@
now the time to give the bot mentality the boot and sink your teeth into a real story for a change.

happy hunting.
ps: don’t say it’s not in the weekly circ. area.
if that thing ever goes it’ll impact us all for many years to come. but at least the radioactive CAP water will be free of brain eating bugs and what-not.
He is either a unabomber type, or he told too many people where he works, or this was all a Homeland Security Agency meta-test of system behavior and performance…you kinda have to wonder why all the publicity so soon, so fast in light of recent but delayed fuss over American toddlers on a steady diet of Chinese lead-painted toys and Tucson toilet water for something like two decades.
Define for CNN equivalent.
Water storage of energy is called tide.
The fuel for nuclear is inversely almost free.
I doubt peak capacity is even accurate.
Hoover stores the energy from evaporation and thermal displacing lifting up the rainwater above where it had previously fallen. Nuclear unlocks what much centrifuging after millenia has rendered harvestable from deep within matters structure.
I don’t even know that I’d defend my post here. I just checked to see if this thread was about last weeks academic lecture by Miller as he titled it about MarBOLO or whatever man marketing looming still all over the third world and only during Q and A explained that we smoke because we can’t kill day in and day out without tedious interruption.
It’s a way of passing time between raping children and incinerating bed ridden elders. At it’s best at least.
Those of us who don’t smoke could afford to bury all the tobacco even replace all the tax lost from denying it’s export etc. to those not so privelidged. Instead we ignore it being this millenia’s Zychlon. And fret about fission like idiots strapped to crosses with nothing to say of consequence but awareness even that shouldn’t be a reason for mere moaning being all we utter.
We put vending machines in our kids schools to pay for wasting fossils fueling there obesity. And find such a weak branch weakly to try to escape by climbing it that it’s still in to say it’s just for the bands do we save it the return trip.
Forget Coal. It’s the cigarette that will do our genocide and give us the fruits of the deceaseds labor. No ‘bomb’ planted anywhere even under a N plant could take more then the N weed has already doomed. Our money can do more then guarantee consctruction. It can end the most lethal seduction. Smoking not for fun.
In short: You’ve been lied to.
According to the article: “Based on what they know so far, authorities may not arrest the employee, the official said.”
You have to wonder what you have to do to be arrested? Is this a civil service job?
Obviously to the authorities a pipe bomb at a nuke power plant doesn’t seem like that big a threat. What kind of message does that send? Scary.
Doesnt sound like a big deal to me at all. From what is given in the article, it doesnt sound like a bomb at all, rather it was a pipe with an explosive material inside it. There was no mention of a detanator or a charge, which would be the key to calling this a pipe bomb. From what they say it was quite small, not even enough materail to blow up the guys truck.
I wouldnt be surprised if it turns out to be a model rocket engine or something stupid like that.
I am glad they caught it though, better to over react than not react at all.
Did anyone read the story? He had a small section of pipe in the bed of his pick up truck. They tested it and “initial checks failed to show any explosive material on the pipe.”
.
This is nothing. This is just overzealous, bored security guards who take themselves too seriously.
Wow, and it became the top news item?
Slow news night.
Here are the questions that no one will ask:
.
Does the plant have private security?
Are they in the midst of any negotiations with private security firms?
Is there any talk of trying to make the security public?
Who is getting paid to do security at the plant?
Are they unionized?
Is management trying to bust the Union?
.
Instead we’re going to get a bunch of idiotic non-sense fantasy speculation about what could have been. It’s non-sense.
.
But no one will remember the headline, “Guy forgets to take small section of pipe out of bed of messy pickup truck after helping his buddy put sink in back bathroom. Overzealous security guards in midst of contract negotiations overreact in attempt to generate fear to justify their pointless jobs.”
Speaking of nuclear stuff, it appears the United States was involved in bombing Syria with tactical nukes a couple months back. Initially it was reported as an Israeli air strike, but Al Jazeera is reporting that Israeli’s planes provided cover for U.S. fighters armed with nuclear bunker-buster type bombs. They apparently attacked some sort of nuclear installation under construction.
I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about this. I won’t be suprised if it happens again in Iran. Which will be bad…
