3 Mile Island Holds Emergency Drill: Emergency Declared At US Nuclear Plant In Illinois 4/18/13

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It seems every time this government runs a emergency drill, there is going to be an emergency of that type some where soon.

Emergency declared at U.S. nuclear plant after lightning strike — “Venting of Unit 1 primary containment” — ‘Normal’ radiation levels reported — NRC mobilizes response center.

LaSalle County_Nuclear_Generating_Station, located 11 miles (18 km) southeast of Ottawa, Illinois serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity. The plant is owned and operated by the Exelon Corporation. Its Units 1 and 2 began commercial operation in August 1982 and April 1984, respectively.

It has two General Electric boiling water reactors. LaSalle’s Unit 1 is capable of generating 1200 net megawatts, while Unit 2 is capable of generating 1200 net megawatts, together generating a total of 2,400 net megawatts which is enough electricity to support the electricity needs of more than two million average American homes. Instead of cooling towers, the station has a 2,058 acres (833 ha) man-made cooling lake, which is also a popular fishery — LaSalle Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area — managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.[1]

LaSalle County Station units 1 and 2 currently holds the world record top two spots for run time without shutting down for boiling water reactors, 739 and 712 days respectively. Both cycles were breaker to breaker.

      The only important thing to remember about this video is the videos of the drill event at the plant and at the schools. They need the images of the actual event and then the “human factor” of children suffering nuclear holocaust. This event will happen in the future. Keep your video for reference. It will be interesting to note the timing of the real event to the drill. I would imagine the New Madrid Fault will be part of this scenario.

      You are really in the downward spiral now. Just deserts for all the heartache your country has caused all over the world. See you on the flipside.

      For years you have know and said that the government does what it wants to without the peoples consent by majority. Now I watch as commentators write thing like “Cinder

      I live in the USA and I gotta agree. USA deserves this” and “Love Ya

      the heartache America has caused. how very sad. it used to be a great place to live. i don’t blame anyone but satan. he has taken over. not taken me over, of course. so, i hope and pray.”

      You know as well as I do that the people of the United States do not decide laws of the government. The government does not answer in any way to the state laws of the people. For instance: Our state laws say that it is federal crime to sneak in to our lands and steal our opportunity public accounts held for citizens only. Yet the government has ushered in a walking invasion that numbers over 100 MILLION from just 1 other country. they are here with citizen only rights and opportunity. they are voting in a Citizen only election. Several cities are open felons. they are called “safe zones”.?. that is was called harboring a fugitive till the government decided to not recognize another nation wide law. And this one just so happens to be the borders of your country. That thought makes me want to line all you up and go floyd on you. UP AGAINST THE WALL.
      Freedom cannot be held if you surround your home with enemies. go figure
