Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
New air samples taken near the New Mexico nuclear storage facility where a leak had been detected after an underground fire now has a second leak of radiation.
Department of Energy officials confirmed that an elevated radiation reading was found outside the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico on March 11th.
The leak comes less than a month after a Valentine’s Day leak contaminated 17 works and closed the facility to incoming waste. The plant is the only storage site for nuclear waste from the country’s bomb program.
Officials say it’s likely the contamination in the air comes from previous radioactive deposits on the inside of exhaust ducts. The low-level release of radiation is believed to happen on a rare basis but is what is called “well within safe limits.”
There has been no date offered for the opening of the plant after shipments were stopped following a fire on a truck hauling salt through the repository’s tunnels in February.
