TV: Alarm over “Catastrophic Leak” at US nuclear site — “Emergency response underway” — Surge in radioactive leakage after “essentially blowing a hole” in massive tank containing “deadliest substance on earth” — Former Worker: “I was very shocked to hear it breached that significantly” (VIDEOS)

Apr 18, 2016 (emphasis added): Leak worsens in massive Hanford tank holding nuclear waste; An emergency response is underway at Hanford, where a tank is leaking radioactive waste — A leak in a massive nuclear waste storage tank at the Hanford Site has expanded significantly, KING 5 learned this weekend… one former tank farm worker said the leak should be considered a major problem. “This is catastrophic. This is probably the biggest event to ever happen in tank farm history…” said former Hanford worker Mike Geffre… Until now, the leak found by Geffre was very slow. The liquid would almost immediately dry up… Sources told KING the disturbance caused by the pumping must have exacerbated the leak: essentially blowing a hole in the aging tank allowing the material to leak more quickly… “The hazards to workers just went up by a factor of 10,” said Geffre… [A current worker said,] “There’s always the question, ‘Are the outer shells compromised’”? The accumulation of waste in the outer shell also means the deadliest substance on earth is that much closer to the ground…

KING 5 News transcript, Apr 18, 2016: No one knows if the waste has already leaked into the soil… (Mike Geffre, former Hanford worker): “I was very shocked to hear that the tank had breached that significantly and that much waste had been [leaked?] in that short of time.”
KREM, Apr 18, 2016: ‘Catastrophic’ event at Hanford prompts emergency response; Over the weekend, a leak in a massive nuclear waste storage tank expanded significantly
 
I'm guessing NObody is doing anything
 
HANFORD RADIATION LEAK REACHES CHICAGO & MILWAUKEE! Heading East toward Indiana and Ohio

An enormous "spike" in radiation which the EPA confirms leaked on May 5 from the Hanford Nuclear Waste Facility in Washington state has reached Chicago.
On May 5, the US Environmental Protection Agency confirmed an enormous "spike" in radiation was emitted from the Hanford Nuclear Waste Facility outside of Richland, WA. At least one underground tank holding lethal Plutonium waste has been found to be leaking and as crews undertake efforts to pump out the leaked material, open hatches release intense radiation into the air. The EPA released this chart from their national "RadNET" radiation monitoring system:

As the chart above shows, on May 5, the EPA radiation detector in Richland, WA, just outside the Hanford Nuclear Waste Facility, showed a sudden and dramatic spike from about 210 Counts-Per-Minute (CPM) to over 405 CPM. A hatch was opened around the leaking underground tank, leaked nuclear waste was being pumped-out, then the hatch was closed. It seems quite clear what came out of the hatch when it was opened!
It is about 1,930 miles from Richland, WA to Chicago, IL.
Prevailing wind patterns in the United States travel from west to east and today, about five days later, radiation detectors in and around Chicago picked up sudden and dramatic increases in airborne radiation!
The reporting system shows Dark Red colored Radiation symbols in the area affected:

As of the publication if this story Chicago, IL Aurora, IL and Milwaukee, WI are at RadCON-4 – Concern/Watch. Madison, WI, Grand Rapids, MI and Fort Wayne, IN are all now at RadCON-3 – Elevated. The issue right now is that none of these locations is showing any ongoing drop in radiation. They're all showing increases. . . slow increases, but increases nonetheless.
According to the privately-funded Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center (paid subscriber area) the "typical" 3 month average radiation level in and around Chicago is 169 Counts-Per-Minute (CPM) of Gamma Radiation in the 600-800 kev range. Right now, May 10, 2016 at 8:30 PM eastern US time (7:30 PM Chicago time) that level has nearly DOUBLED, rising to 293 CPM and it is still rising. The chart below, from the EPA RadNET shows the radiation coming-in and still rising:

I track this stuff. This is definitely a wave from Hanford coming through.

We need to get the worlds best minds working on a solution to this. The fallout will continue until everything is unlivable.

AP: Officials “admit deadly Fukushima meltdown coverup” — TEPCO President: We lied about meltdowns, “It was a cover-up… This is a grave issue” — “It’s an unprecedented nuclear disaster… about as bad as it gets” — Revealed “unpardonable breach of trust” (VIDEO)

Expert: Billions of pieces Fukushima nuclear fuel have spread pretty much everywhere — “It’s truly frightening… wherever there’s cesium, there’s plutonium” — Atomic bomb had one pound of uranium… Fukushima had hundreds of tons — TV: “Abundant quantities” of plutonium are being found


Reporter: Many experts now believe Fukushima’s melted fuel burned through the concrete floors and has gone down into the groundwater — “No one yet knows how deeply those 3 cores melted into the ground… No one knows where the cores are”

Define "Abundant" when no one knows where the cores are ! Seismic and volcanic activity is unprecedented therefore the question to be asked " The cores disappearance into the ground has traveled to where ? , is there a direct correlation between the core and the activity of Volcanic and seismic activity followed by why have a Government emergency exercise in the North West ." Coincidence ?

I'm onboard with that theory, Dog. So, adding onto it, here we have the latest updates on the new activity and that exercise in the North West...

And let's add in a bit more....if Mother Earth is reacting to this meltdown...


About those three reactor cores

I mentioned above that one item in the list of three problems (above) was new to me — the melted reactor cores. Apparently the three reactor cores from reactors 1, 2, and 3 have melted through the floor and are somewhere deep in the earth.
Here more on that from the same source:

Since the accident at Fukushima on March 11, 2011, three reactor cores have gone missing. There was an unprecedented three reactor ‘melt-down.’ These melted cores, called corium lavas, are thought to have passed through the basements of reactor buildings 1, 2 and 3, and to be somewhere in the ground underneath. …

It is an unprecedented situation to not know where these cores are. TEPCO is pouring water where they think the cores are, but they are not sure. There are occasional steam eruptions coming from the grounds of the reactors, so the cores are thought to still be hot. The concern is that the corium lavas will enter or may have already entered the aquifer below the plant. …
