Doesn’t it seem excessively large for a mere demolition?" No. If you watch the videos on Youtube of the demolition you'll clearly see concrete chunks flew for a LONG distance. "All live spectators have been banned for a 10 mile radius. You will only be able to see this on TV, which means that it will be thoroughly controlled and that there is something going on that they don’t want you to see." Dude, do you even LIVE in Oregon? Blow it out your ass. “Did you see the map of the security area? Doesn’t it seem excessively large for a mere demolition?”

We were about a thousand feet up on the hill directly behind it with our cameras and took a 5 frame per second of the entire event. Nothing unusualy there at all. Just an every day common demolition of a structure. We even captured the sequence of the charge flashes as they went off. ....Aircraft into the structure writer... you need some strong coffee !!

Just about everything has a minute about of radioactivity. To say there wouldn't be any in the dust is playing safe for conspiracy whackos like hium/her/. Do you go camping, dear hippies? Those Coleman lanterns emit radioactivity. So do smoke alarms. People that worked at Trojan weren't exposed to radioactivity that didn't already exsist in everyday items. An atom that emitted radioactivity, something they check for when workers (under seven layers of clothing) was called a "flea" because of it's size. They had to change the name of them because people like Yellowbird were worried animals could be "bitten by those awful radioactive fleas!"

The only radioactivity in the cooling tower is the naturally occuring radioactive potassium in the concrete. It could no easier be traced through the atmospshere than any other dust particles. It is just too plentiful and long lived to use as a tracer. It always amazes me how some people can get so worked up about nuclear power. Yes, it can be dangerous (although the nuclear industry is THE MOST regulated industry in this nation) but so is driving your car. I imagine when they start dismantling the containment building that the radioactive waste will end up here. The reactor has already been shipped up here.

The tower was imploded as part of the decommissioning process. Both I5 and Hwy 30 were closed so as to prevent onlookers from being terrified at seeing a 500 foot tower collapse right in front of them. With the thousands of people that travel down I5 on any given day, it would be impossible to inform all of them what was going to happen this morning (when the tower was imploded) so as a precaution, they closed both roads. As for the toxicity of the dust, while it probably does contain low levels of radiation, it did contain vestiges of asbestos. While PGE (the company that ownes Trojan) claims all traces of asbestos were removed from the tower several years ago, breathing any of dust could be extremely toxic. Similar to the dust after the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. That is why they had the implosion so early in the morning. To minimize the on lookers. Although that did not stop my family from getting up at 6:00 in the morning to go out and watch. So that's the FYI. No real conspiracy here. Just a poorly build and now defunct nuclear plant in a tiny Oregon town ( Rainier has approx. 1,100 people) that is still trying to recover from it.

I5, and the north side of the columbia river were both PACKED with people and boats. Granted the police were in force for crowd control, and the Coast Guard and Sherrifs boats were patrolling the shipping lane. Someone had a LITTLE exaduration going on.

All other plants like Trojan are still operating successfully. Instead the Oregon customers of PGE/Enron are payng through the nose just to satisfy envirowhackos and nti-nuclear Oregon democrats who gleefully enabled the fiasco. If still operating trojan would be the cheapest electric power on the west coast. The shutdown of Trojan was probably fraudulent in the first place.

The implosion will be in clear view of thousands camped on the east side of the Columbia River. If someone plans on crashing a fuel ladden plane into it, I feel sorry for the workers and news media that have been authorized to film near the tower.

Try testing the areas around the heat-dispersing Trojan plant tower; safety is there. The dispersing heat WARMS the area, where people want to live because of the WARMTH. Warmth disappears with the emplosions, replacing the expositions. Dangers? Less great danger exemplified, due to progressed safety conditions.
