Mike Adams.
Public schools are government-run indoctrination centers.
And what is the real goal of the school system?
Is it to educate people?
No.
The Health Ranger Report.
Public schools are nothing more than obedience training centers to turn human beings into controllable flesh bots.
It's time for the Health Ranger Report.
And now, from NaturalNews.com, here's Mike Adams.
There has been a collapse in a fuel rod plutonium tunnel at the Hanford nuclear facility in Washington State, not far from Seattle, I think southeast of Seattle, and somewhat close to the Oregon border, I think about 35 miles from Oregon.
And so what happened is this tunnel has structural failure.
Well, let me back up.
Hanford is, of course, the place where the nuclear fuel has been produced for many, many decades for nuclear weapons.
Most of the nuclear arsenal across America uses fuel that was created there at Hanford.
I don't know what created is, I mean, processed there.
And one of the important so-called fuels is plutonium-239, which has a half-life of 24,000 years.
So they've been gathering a bunch of plutonium there, and who knows what the long-term plan is, but apparently the infrastructure at Hanford doesn't last very long because the tunnel is now collapsing.
So there was a roof collapse, and...
An open gap now from the tunnel to the open air.
And this tunnel is used to shuttle fuel rods, like hot fuel, actual nuclear fuel, back and forth in different parts of the underground facility.
So now there's a giant hole into the atmosphere.
So, was radiation released out of that hole into the atmosphere?
Well, of course it was, because that's what radiation does.
It emits in all directions in an ever-expanding sphere of radiation.
Now, how much radiation was released, well, we don't know.
Early reports say that it wasn't that much, but then again, there was an evacuation order issued, and all the employees were told to, what was it, to not shelter in place, but I don't remember what the terminology was, but they were told, do not eat or drink anything.
Well, that indicates that they think there's a risk of very high contamination.
If you're told, don't eat your own food and don't drink the water, you know, that means there's at least concern of a very high-level release of radioactive isotopes that could harm you if you consume them, right?
That's only logical.
And the FAA immediately slapped a ban on the airspace so you couldn't fly over it.
Well, why would the FAA do that?
Well, obviously because they're concerned that there was a radiation release into the atmosphere.
They don't want small aircraft pilots being killed by plutonium-239 in the atmosphere that gets sucked into their airplanes.
I don't know if you know this, but small aircraft are not airtight.
I mean, most of them, they're not pressurized cabins.
They don't fly above 12,500 feet.
So they're not pressurized.
Heck, when I used to fly a Cessna, I would just open the window.
Literally open the window and just have some outside air because they get really hot.
Those planes.
They're really hot in the summer, especially in Texas.
In any case, the point is that this is a nuclear accident, potentially, but it's not a meltdown like Fukushima.
So there wasn't a hydrogen explosion like what happened in the Fukushima Daiichi reactor number two.
There's not a big meltdown happening, at least not that we've seen.
I doubt there's a meltdown.
That doesn't seem to be what this is.
This is just a bunch of fuel rods being shuttled around in a tunnel system that collapsed and is now exposed to the air.
So chances are that this is a minimal release of radiation.
However, the number one rule about all nuclear accidents is what?
Governments lie to you by default.
They always lie about radiation.
They always downplay it.
They always say it's nothing.
You don't need to be concerned.
And they can say that because, of course, radiation is invisible to the human eye, so nobody can really see it.
So even if it is huge and deadly, you can't see it anyway.
So the government just says, ah, nothing to worry about.
This is what they said after Fukushima in Japan.
It's like, ah, don't worry.
Everything's just fine.
And then they send in the robots, you know, to try to find where the fuel melted through the floor and the robots melt down and stop functioning.
Don't worry about it.
We'll figure it out one day.
We have 24,000 years for the half-life.
Don't worry about it.
So governments, by default, they lie to you about everything.
Every nuclear accident, radiation risk, exposure, release of radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere.
It's always a lie.
For that reason alone, you should be highly, highly skeptical of any official report coming out of Hanford or Washington State or Oregon.
Any government, any regional authority is probably full of bunk.
That being said, as a scientist myself, I will tell you that I don't see this having a very high likelihood of a high radiation release.
Why?
Because it was like cold storage fuel rods.
This was not an active nuclear facility.
This was not an active power plant.
They weren't running centrifuge systems.
They weren't processing fuel actively there, at least not to my knowledge.
And they certainly weren't running a nuclear power plant.
Which is where the meltdowns occur.
So as far as I can tell, this is a fairly low risk of a big radiation release.
But it is interesting to know that the infrastructure is so bad in America that tunnels are starting to collapse.
What does that tell you about the rest of the facility there at Hanford?
Really?
What does that tell you?
Surely they must have inspectors whose job is to, I don't know, inspect the tunnels where you move the plutonium, right?
You would think that?
I mean, I run a laboratory.
We do inspections all the time.
We got to do instrument maintenance.
We just had an audit recently because we have on-site auditors because we're ISO accredited.
So we have inspectors and auditors and we have to run the maintenance schedules on all the machines.
It's called PM, preventive maintenance.
So we're always swapping out equipment, testing equipment, validating equipment, all that kind of stuff.
And that's me, little old me in a little private lab out in the middle of Texas.
Versus the entire U.S. government running a massive nuclear weapons generation facility, how can they not have inspections of their tunnels and their infrastructure?
And if they did have inspections, how could they miss the fact that this roof was about to collapse?
See, it makes you wonder, doesn't it?
What about the nuclear fuel, the spent fuel rods containment facilities?
All across the country, where they're holding spent fuel near or outside of nuclear power facilities in other cities.
How much do you trust those containment vessels?
Because if you trust them at all, you're a fool.
Because what this proves, I mean, it's not just the tunnel, it's like bridges.
Bridges all across America are just falling down.
Just collapsing.
There was a bridge collapse a couple years ago.
I forgot which state it was in.
A major highway bridge just collapsed out of the blue.
Boom.
Gone.
Bunch of fatalities.
People drove their cars and trucks off the collapsing bridge segment that disappeared and they died.
Why?
Because nobody's doing adequate inspections, obviously.
You know, it's not that difficult to have, you know, an architectural engineer or a mechanical or structural engineer, a metallurgy expert, you know, go in there and look at the dang tunnels and tell you what's wrong.
You know, these people do exist.
I know several of them, and they're very smart.
It just seems the government isn't really interested in doing this kind of thing.
It's like, they don't really care.
I mean, yeah, let's see, the nuclear fuel has a 24,000-year half-life, but our tunnel system is designed to last about 30 years.
Do the math on that, folks.
Yeah, not a good scenario.
It doesn't give you confidence in the way that governments handle nuclear fuel, nuclear weapons, and nuclear power facilities, does it?
Nah.
If you trust anything the government tells you about radiation and nuclear facilities, again, you've just been brainwashed.
Think for yourself.
Be skeptical about any official reports on all of this.
Anyway, I'm going to wrap this up, but I've got a couple of websites you can visit on this.
One is nuclear.news.
Nuclear.news.
Notice carefully that I did not pronounce it like nucular.
Which means that I'm actually intelligent.
So if it's not spelled nuclear, that would be N-U-K-E hyphen Y-O-U hyphen L-E-R. Nuclear, if you hear anybody saying it that way, don't visit their website because they are not informed about radiation science.
So it's nuclear.news.
And it's also another website, Radiation.News.
Just like it sounds, Radiation.News.
We cover Fukushima, we cover nuclear power, nuclear war, accidents, radiation, North Korea's threatened nukes, submarine-launched nukes, all kinds of things.
So again, check out Nuclear.News and Radiation.News.
You'll learn a lot there.
And I may even be, it's possible, although I haven't made an executive decision on this yet, I may be investing in some new radiation detection laboratory equipment for my lab, but I've got to brush up on a lot of radiation physics, and I've got to memorize a lot of isotopic decay techniques.
I need a little bit more education on that, so I'm studying up a little bit before I get the equipment so that I know what I'm doing, obviously, in the lab.
But we may be getting some radiation detection equipment.
I'm talking like high-end stuff, like $50,000-plus bench equipment that is very precise, calibrated and all that.
If I do that, again, I'm not sure I'm going to do that, but if I do that, I will definitely bring you all of...
All of our test results and so on at radiation.news and nuclear.news.
Someone tell Kiefer Sutherland that it's not pronounced nuclear because he did that through the entire nine seasons of 24.
Remember that series?
And I just kept hoping that they would kill him off because he couldn't say the word.
But no, they kept him alive so he could keep torturing people.
As he was torturing the audience by saying the word nuclear.
Thank you, Kiefer Sutherland, for driving that meme into my head forever.
In any case, thank you for listening.
Stay safe.
This doesn't look like a big emergency right now, but the next one could be a lot worse.
