I have some questions about NOLA and radioactive waste.

Is there anyone here with some info or know where I can find the info about the possibility that there is/was radioactive waste stored or buried in the NOLA area? I have received an email that is trying to connect the "lock down" of NOLA after Katrina and unusual burn marks on people and animals in the area that were exposed to the flood waters. Also something about Tulane University research lab and 8000 animals that were "destroyed".

Thanks. I don't want to jump to conclusions based on one email and I am not sure where to start.

Trudy

for gamma/x-ray sources (medical industrial research) but I haven't heard much since....

Do you mean they were not killed in the storm, but afterwards?

that were rescued were not allowed to leave the state until they were chipped. Not with any chip, but special chips provided by one source. All the various companies and rescue organizations had problems with trying to get animals out of the area to make room in the local shelters for rescued animals to be reunited with their owners.

Here is a portion of the email I recieved...

under freedom of Information Act: I have actual committee reports from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission: it began in 1955.
SOUTHWEST portion of Louisian is a HOT BED of dumped radioactive material from nuclear power plants from all over the nation.

as late as 1992,I have a GEOGRAPHICAL (from US Geological Agency) report that they were WORRIED THAT LOUISIANA's geological rock formation,
where the radiactive is buried,is decaying and leeching into the soil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! simply put: the rocks,etc in surrounding area are falling "apart".
At the time,Louisiana offered 25 MILLION,per load,to be sent to Kansas- KANSAS REFUSED..they did NOT want the radioactive pile.

<snip>

I questioned-MANY TIMES- why do ALL animals leaving the state have to be microchipped: and TO WHOM THE MICROCHIP IS REGISTERED TO:I suspect
either the goverment,HSUS,or PETSMART-all 3 have cooperated with each other FULLY. PETSMART OWNS the BANFIELD Veterinary Clininc!
Hence the "bitching" from AVID-the chief competitor...like they care??it is because they were "left out "of the financial gain.AT LAST: at least a
big company is screaming...it draws attention to what I have been saying all along.
OF COURSE: THEY HAVE TO TRACK THE RADIATION deaths,reports of cancer etc. what better way than to microchip..on their "own"
special frequency... that way they can sort out real pet owners from the Louisiana radiated animals.

Plus: 8,000 animals-all euthanized at Tulane in One fell swoop? AND they cited "classified"as to what research they were working on.I will also bet they are working on CANCER,radiation: all mumbo-jumboed up under guise of state health and research reports IF someone finds out.

I WISH THIS TO BE POSTED AND CROSS POSTED FOR ALL TO SEE AND SPREAD OUT TO ANYONE/TV/NEWSPAPERS/MEDIA ETC.
MORE INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED TO DOUBLEY CONFIRM WHAT I have SAID IS TRUE.No one would believe me,a small individual living in a dinky town in NC.
They want CNN "breaking news" etc. AGAIN: I feel it this entire way of handling the aftermath of Katrina is a Goverment cover-up and things were done
because they needed to buy time for the southwestern part of Louisiana!!!!

As you can see this person seems very upset about this and I am trying to connect the dots for myself. None of this would surprise me, but are they really trying to hide a big nuclear waste dump area in Louisiana?

...not necessarily radioactive, but still...

floating around the city?

I really can't stand it.

We are a nation doomed by enormous ignorance. We certainly deserve what we are going to get.

It would not be surprising if the people of New Orleans who waded in the water had "unusual burns" since the refineries in the area probably have some pretty bizarre things in them, like hydrofluoric acid which is often a product of hydrolysis of super acids used, for instance, as a cracking catalyst.

The burn that something like that would give you would certainly be unusual. HF burns, are typically result in necrosis.

(At one time one of the largest supplies of this material on earth was right on the Crenshaw fault in the Torrance suburb of Los Angeles in a refinery there. I always thought that if that stuff leaked, Bhopal would have seemed like a cakewalk.)

It is very, very, very, very, very, unlikely on the other hand that exposure to a lab animal with a radioactive label would do the same thing. I mean, THINK about it. If the animal was that radioactive, wouldn't it be burned itself?

I have heard, though I really don't believe it, that some very, very, very, very, very stupid people claim to have played with things like tritium. I'm sure that some of these people, on hallucinatory binges imagine that they've been burned and otherwise injured by such things, but it is nonsense.

I have seen 200 kg drums with big yellow radioactive labels on them that although they would certainly terrify the television audience, didn't have enough radioactivity in them to kill a hamster.
