Nuclear Watch!

[Racoon]

This Sunday, I learned,
They are going to Implode Trojan Nuclear facility,
Here around Kelso, Washington.

A hop, skip, and a throw from Portland.

I hope everything goes well.
what could go wrong, right?

I believe its been decommisioned since 1993.

Why do you think?
are they making way for new nuclear plants?

Implosion set for Sunday the 21st.
Anyone here aware about this,
Any other Nuclear Watches we should be informed about?

The biggest 'go wrong' thing is for it not to topple. This is the cooling tower they intend to drop & they say it is built thicker than any others; translation...more dynomite!
Advisements say stay home because there is no civilian viewing area. Coast Guard has Columbia River blockaded 2 miles above & below implosion site, & Oregon Highway 30 is scheduled for closure. Rubbernecking from I-5 on the Washington side is under discouragement from all authorities.
Blast is scheduled for between 7 & 9 am this coming Sunday morning Pacific Daylight Time & wide TV coverage is planned.
Possible secret mission underway to secure viewing spot on mountainside overlooking the blast the night before; don't tell anyone. Sshhhhhh

They're not called "nuclear watches"... they're called "atomic clocks." Duh!


Just adding some levity to the thread.

Levity takes it up a notch, gravity takes it down.
Here's a link to one of the Portland TV stations which is planning live coverage. (You may have to register , but it's free like Hypog)

Today is Saturday & the big blastola is tomorrow morning. I don't know if the cable channels plan to cover this 'Trojan Implosion' live or not, but our local stations out of Portland have it covered.
My only bias for the KGW page is that when I decided to pick one of the local stations' pages, KGW just looked easier to navigate. Yada yada yada.

I may have said things start at 7 am , but it is 6 am Pacific Daylight Time.

KaaaaaaBOOOMMMMM!

That's pretty exciting. I may have to check it out.

Yes indeedy! They have even had to add EXTRA DYNOMITE! We contemplated taking a boat out on the river, but I think the enthusiasm waned on that one.

Trouble now is, I either have to stay up all night or try & get up early! Good grief & oh bother.

POWWW! CRASH!

I thought this was very moving in regards to how I feel about Nuclear dealings. I hope it's not seen as spam, it's just that I found it to have great impact regarding this subject, much like when I watched the Army tests in the nevada desert, with the soldiers in the trench as they detonated a bomb only football fields away.
