Arkansas Nuclear One Reactor and ExxonMobil Pipeline Both Suffer Major Accidents
The Arkansas Nuclear One nuclear reactor – operated by Entergy – suffered an accident yesterday which killed one and injured 8 workers.
The plant vented steam to cool the reactor. Air detection teams have been deployed to the area, and local residents are worried. See this, this and this.
Only 40 miles from the nuclear plant, Arkansas was hit with a major oil spill.
NBC News is reporting that an ExxonMobil pipeline rupture near Little Rock Friday evening has resulted in a “major oil spill,” according to the Environmental Protection Agency. And see this.
Why are nuclear and fossil fuel disasters happening at the same time? Because the accidents are caused by the exact same thing: greed.
