PLUS:

• WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant) site in Carlsbad, New Mexico, shows damage to bags of magnesium oxide placed atop waste containers to stop radiation leaks – LOL!;

• Hanford explosion during Plutonium Finishing Plant demolition hidden from authorities and public for two weeks; union rep furious;
• Tokyo quakes register 6.6 and 6.1, but word from Fukushima’s Spent Fuel Pool 4: Don’t worry, be happy!;
• Scott Portzline of Three Mile Island Alert offers a special invitation to participate in a webinar on NRC lies with Tim Judson of NIRS,  Eric Epstein of TMI Alert and himself.  
• …and if we could talk to the animals – meaning the fish/sea lions/sea birds/whales/owls/otters on the west coast of North America, they’d be really really pissed off at us about what the radiation from Fukushima is doing to them!
