13 workers test positive for radiation at New Mexico nuclear waste site
Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:24AM GMT
Thirteen workers at an underground nuclear waste site in the US state of New Mexico were exposed to nuclear radiation during a leak earlier this month, test results show.
The US Department of Energy said on Wednesday that no workers were underground at the Waste Isolation Pilot Project in southeastern New Mexico on February 14 when the nuclear leak occurred.

National Response Center Website Down – 6 Days and Counting?
Savvy SkyTruth Alerts http://alerts.skytruth.org/?l=25.2927,-93.6666,31.5676,-85.9761
users may have noticed that we haven’t published any new oil or hazmat spill reports from the Coast Guard-operated National Response Center (NRC) since February 20. If you go directly to the NRC website, http://www.nrc.uscg.mil/default.asp
you see a “down for maintenance” message. Polluters and concerned citizens can still submit reports to the NRC by phone, at 1-800-424-8802. But without the website, we can’t search for or download pollution reports. And that leaves a big hole in our SkyTruth Alerts map, and in the daily updates we email to Alerts subscribers.
It’s also really bad timing, given the major oil spill http://www.weather.com/news/science/environment/oil-spill-mississippi-river-port-new-orleans-20140223
that happened on the lower Mississippi River due to a barge accident on Saturday afternoon.
We emailed an NRC spokesperson yesterday morning and asked when and why the site went down, and when the Coast Guard expects it to be operational again, but so far we haven’t gotten a response. If anyone has info to share, please post it as a comment to this blog.
