A news article today is announcing that another of our nuclear waste disposal plants has a leak, and it is potentially affecting 14 million people in the states of New Mexico, Texas, and also parts of Mexico.
The nuclear waste is stored at an underground facility in New Mexico, but it is also close to Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico .
Reports are that the leak is spreading, and is now affecting above ground areas.
The authorities are saying that it is not dangerous at this time, however, they are also saying that it is not safe for them to do anything to stop the leak ; so how safe does that sound ??
If the leak is not able to be contained, it is expected to keep spreading and affect even more states, and possibly require evacuation of the whole area.
This is at least the second one of these nuclear waste disposal plants that are having problems with radiation leaks. The one at Hanford , in Washington State, has also been leaking from some of the old storage tanks, for a while now; which could be devastating should the dam located just above the plant collapse from the large crack that has now developed in the dam (possibly earthquake related).
Here is the article for anyone who wishes to learn more:
