Nuclear plant meltdown on Long Island
By Rich Polley | Apr. 1, 2010In the early morning of March 29, there was a tragic accident on Long Island. The Eastern Hampton Nuclear Plant had a meltdown, killing an estimated 643 workers. The rubble is still being sifted through in the search for survivors. Supervisors at the plant's main hub in Albany who were monitoring the plants activities explained how this loss occurred. "The plant experienced a failure in the secondary, non-nuclear section of the plant," said supervisor Jonathan Marx. "The main feed water pumps stopped running, caused by either a mechanical or electrical failure, which prevented the steam generators from removing heat. First the turbine, then the reactor automatically shut down." Marx also said that the pressure in the primary system immediately began to increase. In order to prevent that pressure from becoming excessive, the pilot-operated relief valve opened. "The valve should have closed when the pressure decreased by a certain amount, but it did not," Marx said. "Signals available to the operator failed to show that the valve was still open. As a result, cooling water poured out of the stuck-open valve and caused the core of the reactor to overheat. Luckily, the Niagara Falls Hydro Plant has been able to pick up the slack from this tragic loss of power and life." The plant overheating created a fatal atomic explosion and caused the radiation from the plant to spread several miles. There are no residents in the area, but there is the Montauk Army Base bordering the industrial park that garrisons 200 troops. The base has been quarantined by the National Guard. When asked about the condition of soldiers at the Montauk base, Colonial Auethers of the National Guard said, "No information can be given out at this time." There is a possibility the radiation has submerged itself into the ground water beneath the plant; citizens are asked to boil water or drink bottled water until proper testing can be done. "If you believe that someone you know has radiation poisoning, place him or her in a secure room," said Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. "The symptoms of radiation poisoning are loss of hair, bloodshot eyes, pale skin, irregular appetite and unresponsiveness." An effect of radiation poisoning is hallucinations that cause the victims to become extremely violent. After they are put in a secure room, contact the local authorities and they will escort a radiologist to inspect them. In Brooklyn, the infected seem to be multiplying. As time goes by, the infected are becoming more violent from malnourishment. The violence is growing; people are advised to leave major cities, according to Clinton. It also has been reported that the infected are aimlessly walking though the Long Island suburban area. If you see anyone who looks like he or she is infected, lock your doors and call your local authorities immediately. The violence provoked by the hallucinogens causes infected people to attack on sight. Try your best to stay indoors and make the least amount possible of physical contact with others. Stay safe - further information is promised shortly. E-mail: news@ubspectrum.com
