But what about the several plutonium fires during Rocky Flats operation and the associated plumes of contamination to the immediate south then east of the plant?
Note that this Wikipedia article isn't up to date and has some biased editing. For example Rocky flats refuge has been open to the public for a couple of years now. The article has the typical antinuclear activist tactic of FUD.
As a person who has to deal with climate change related incidents like the fire yesterday, I have huge animosity towards anti-nuclear activists.
The same people who have been protesting everything nuclear for decades are the ones complaining about climate change now without seeming to understand that all of the Western world would be like France now if not for them. The fire we are ringing our hands about potentially causing contamination probably would not have happened if not for these activists destroying the reputation of nuclear power over several decades.
There’s a term in German - verschlimmbessern - that might as well be Greenpeace’s motto. Loosely translated it means “making things worse in an honest yet failed attempt to make them better.”
Ironically my neighborhood is right off of 72 and 93 and is completely white on the map.
