Much worse, in fact.<\/p>\n
The reason is not nuclear contamination, but chemical contamination. Specifically, PCB’s<\/a>. Yes, they are banned. But the ban started only in 1979. Indian Point<\/a> dates back to the early 1960s. So it’s entirely possible that the transformer that caught fire contained PCB’s. One that caught fire there in 2011 did<\/a>, in fact.<\/p>\n If so, there is now a major environmental contamination event in progress. Worryingly, there is no mention in the Establishment media that the transformer in question did not<\/em> contain PCB’s. That makes me suspect that news that it did is being hushed up.<\/p>\n It’s the only reason I can think of for not bringing up the subject of PCB’s in the news about this event. If it was known that the transformer was in fact PCB free, it would be in the interest of plant’s operator (and its regulators) to make this fact well-known. Omitting such information only becomes in the Establishment’s interest if PCB’s are in fact present.<\/p>\n It’s much like the subject of asbestos (known to be widely-used at the time the World Trade Center twin towers were constructed) was conspicuously absent from news accounts at the time the 9\/11 attacks happened.<\/p>\n No, this doesn’t prove<\/em> anything, but it certainly raises valid suspicions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Much worse, in fact.
