The Arkansas Nuclear One nuclear reactor – operated by Entergy – suffered an accident yesterday which killed one and injured 8 workers.
The plant vented steam to cool the reactor. Air detection teams have
been deployed to the area, and local residents are worried. See this, this and this.
The operator of the reactor is “trying to understand scope of
damage”, and there may be structural problems at one of the units, after
a 500 ton device fell on water lines and electrical equipment. Reactors are still using emergency generators.
Only 40 miles from the nuclear plant, Arkansas was hit with a major oil spill.
NBC News is reporting
that an ExxonMobil pipeline rupture near Little Rock Friday evening has
resulted in a “major oil spill,” according to the Environmental
Protection Agency. And see this.
Why are nuclear and fossil fuel disasters happening at the same
time? Because the accidents are caused by the exact same thing: greed.
