Ever wondered where all those nukes are stored?
A new review published in the November/December issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists shows that the United States stores its nearly 10,000 nuclear warheads at 18 locations in 12 states and six European countries.

ENE-News – TV: “Staggering number of cancers, illnesses, and birth defects” linked to nuclear waste? Over 700 cases found in only four square miles — “There’s something very wrong” (VIDEO)
There are radioactive secrets beneath the banks and waters of a north St. Louis County creek that may be linked to a staggering number of cancers, illnesses and birth defects. In four square miles, there are three reported cases of conjoined twins and cancer rates that one data expert says is statistically impossible.
What is the amount of NORM at the sinkhole?
What is the origin?
Was nuke waste from underground Mississippi tests moved to Assumption Parish for burial?
What happened to the trucks used to move NORM? Were they buried?
What are the radiation readings around Bayou Corne near the barf sites?
Are bubble samples and soil and water samples being checked for radiation?

Reading some good comments on this and Bart gives a good link to a document about Gulf Coast salt domes. It is added to the Salt Dome page. It has a ton of diagrams and charts of the area including Louisiana.

Louisiana Bayou Sinkhole: Governor Ignores the Sinkhole Expansion
The Map Page has added an important map (in pink letters) showing all the things at the sinkhole area. It is from Assumption Parish.
We added a link to map of South East US drainage to the bottom of the post about high water in Tennessee. It shows the event will not affect Louisiana. But it is a lot of regional rain.
Rain story from Jan. 12th has an added video showing really dynamic satellite views of the big storm.

We were looking at this new addition to the Salt Dome documents page – Texas Salt Domes–Aspects Affecting Disposal of Toxic-Chemical Waste in Solution-Mined Caverns and we did a simple search in the document for the word “radiation” and found this:

Creep laws are one kind of the many constitutive laws that model the ratedependent deform at i on of materi a 1 s. Creep 1 aws are app 1 i ed to the des i gn of underground storage caverns, radioactive waste repositories, and to salt mines
where the combination of stress, temperature, and time gives rise to significant time-dependent deformation.

U.S. Spent Nuclear Fuel Policy: Road to Nowhere [Part II: Project Salt Vault]
The primary objective of Project Salt Vault was to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of handling and storing high level nuclear waste (HLW) solids from power reactors in salt formations. The engineering and scientific objectives were to:
· Demonstrate waste-handling equipment and techniques required to handle packages containing HLW solids from the point of production to the disposal location.
· Determine the stability of salt formations under the combined effects of heat and radiation (approximately 4,000,000 curies of radioactive material, yielding up to 109 rads).
· Collect information on creep and plastic flow of salt needed for the design of an actual disposal facility.
· Monitor the site for radiolytic chemical reactions, if such should occur.
We don’t know if HIGH LEVEL nuke waste is in Bayou Corne but we don’t know that’s it’s NOT there!
