Was it an engineer you heard say that? In nuke terminology, critical state means that reactor power is neither increasing nor decreasing. It isn't really used to describe reactor casualties.

Critical = Normal

There was a comment in here from a guy working there who said all was well, then he updated his post saying something big is going down, now his comment is removed

isn't there some reddit extension application that allows you to read deleted comments?

http://uneddit.com/

Now where is that post with the deleted comments?

It's tough because that doesn't restore the structure/sorting of the comments

Yeah I was replying to that, seemed really weird.

The original comment was spooky

It was /u/tosstheway who then made another post currently at the bottom. His first comment about working there was fabricated.

He said to get out of the morris area now, its at the bottom of this page

I hope that this doesn't escalate

Call the news and/or local paper. Do it anonymously from a prepaid cellphone then destroy it.

Pay cash for the phone and wear a hat too

idk is this a joke? i'd understand the cash part but why the hat?

Video surveillance

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn27761-facebook-can-recognise-you-in-photos-even-if-youre-not-looking.html

Exactly.

You must wear two different shoes which make it so that your legs are not the same length.

You must also wear a hat and a large hood with a scarf or some cloth behind your head so as to obfuscate the size of your head.

You then have to be wearing a trench coat with your arms inside the coat so that you do not reveal their length, and then you must also pad the shoulders to different heights on each side.

That will make is so that they do not know who you are.

You could also wear a gorilla suit.

Either way, you will have to make sure that you were not recorded appearing that way from your point of origin, or else that may give you away.

If you want to be "stealth" in this day, it is a very hard feat to accomplish.

This might help you.

EDIT: Okay, you can downvote my comment. Regardless, users need to write legibly and paragraphs are a major part of that. Posts cannot merely be lists of sentences, and users can not be decried for expecting this of their community. If your phone is prohibiting you from crafting legible prose, maybe you shouldn't be attempting it on your phone.

The only thing I need to edit is "is" to "it".

A paragraph does NOT have to be more than one sentence.

I chose explicitly to describe how one must modify each individual aspect of the traits which they use to identify your physical person with separate one sentence paragraphs.

To mask your identity, you must disguise your gait, height, head shape, face, torso shape and size, and arm length. If you do not cover every aspect of what they analyze, and they use all those tools in analysis, then you will become identified.

I do not need to learn how to use paragraphs.

YOU need to learn online etiquette and how not to inappropriately chide at people while having absolutely nothing of substance or import to express.

Please realize who you are dealing with next time you attempt to act like a child, especially when I know who you are, and don't try and pretend like you don't know what that means.

Back in '94 I was in Vancouver when they had the first Stanley Cup riot. A private business owner donated his facial recognition software to the cops and it compiled shots of people from all the footage.

It is how I became #4! And all I did was kick a few tear gas canisters away from the crowd.

The software uses soft markers like clothing and then narrows down from there. It worked very well and this is how they made the suspect list. No one got charged. Even though I was easily identifiable not one person called in on me. They even made a kiosk and dragged it around to the malls to get suspects ratted on.

Point being...this ain't new, just improved.

ah ok ... there aren't that many in my area yet, like in UK, that's why i am still not too afraid of them ....

good to know thanks.

so you don't have to comb your hair. for Christ sakes try to keep up!

But then you have hat hair. AND a nuclear meltdown. What a shitty Tuesday.

probably because security camera

Probably because you wouldn't make that call from your own house and you gotta watch out for those CCTV cameras in public areas.

Man, that sounds like Stasi all over again.

Welcome to glorious U.S.S.A.

infinite video surveilance

Remember guardians of the Galaxy? He's gonna need that prosthetic leg too.

Can he buy time for it anonymously?

I commented above, I've seen them for sale at flea markets

Phones or time for the phone?

I have to buy a card and then 'hook it up' online to get to use the phone..

They where Verizon 4g phones for sale. They also had prepaid cards too. This was at middle of nowhere flea market tho. Guys been there forever. I don't know if I would trust the cards but you could always do it in front of him to check.

Yes, Circle K sells Tracfone

But he has to take the card, go online to get the time transferred to the phone and put in the code on the card and that is identifiable.at least by IP

At least that's what I understand, so that wouldn't be anonymous. Maybe use a library but that is just as much under surveillance.

You said it, public library.

Nope. Libraries (at least the ones I have used) require your card and therefore id. I would go to an Internet cafe. Make a new anonymous Hotmail account to sign it up then never access that account again.

That works as well. Most of the libraries where I live grant access to anyone who walks through the door. So can't count them out completely

Another no no in burner phones it to not carry it with your other phone and pull the battery when not in use. Do not sign on to Google in any way shape or form. "They" will link it to your ID-ed phone by location monitoring.

I've seen them for sale at flea markets too.

Also don't look up, around as cameras may pick up your face . If possible wear a hoody or anything to obstruct a clear view of your face/identifying features.

They should definitely fake an accent and walk with a limp as well. Come up with a fake name and make sure to hang out in the store for a bit and have multiple people hear you mention it.

They shouldn't drive their own car obviously, but walking or biking is a bad idea as it keeps it too close to home. Best bet is to take a greyhound a few towns over. On the way back take a different route and make sure you aren't followed.

Shove cotton in your cheeks. I learned that from the Osborne Big Book of Spycraft, which I craftily made sure was always taken out by me. I couldn't allow that information to get out.

Brilliant, I too make sure to check out every single spy related book from all of my local libraries. The late return fees may be steep, but my kids weren't gunna have the grades for college and the NWO will probably have made their move by then anyways.

It's called tough love.

Exactly. They'll complain about digging the bunker and subsisting on a diet of dehydrated MRE's, but they'll be ready when Jade Helm goes into effect and Obama tries to take us to the Walmart camps.

I like the limp, that's some Keyser Soze shit there

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled... was wearing a Guy Fawkes mask to buy a cell phone.

A hat with LEDs hidden inside it, if you're properly paranoid.

FUCK the local papers--send info to the chicagoreporter.com

the local media are just BOOTLICKERS--they would never touch this story...ComEd pays too much on advertising to the Chicago Tribune (etc.)

What does ComEd do exactly? I hear them advertised on the radio during Cubs games.

Power company.

Isn't that CONEd?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolidated_Edison

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_Edison

COMed would be Illinois.

Good to know.

Like thatl work. They already know he posted this

Looks like you have a 10 mile danger radius for a plume and 50 total. It's been a while but I was certified as a first responder for basically NBC attacks or incidents. This isn't like a nuclear bomb, so don't overreact about it, you can likely be within 10 miles when it does implode or whatever, it shouldn't send off a shockwave and destroy everything, it will rain fallout on you, which your local authorities should have a means set up (an early warning system) for such a case. As long as you leave the immediate area in case of such an incident immediately when warned, you should be fine. Thanks for the heads up though, I'd say the only people in immediate danger are those working at the plant. How the hell a tornado hit a facility like that, generally I believed tornadoes to avoid cities and large structures, even malls, due to wind flow but I'm no tornado expert. Just a heads up, this is why you should always have an emergency plan, just in case, no matter where you are. /r/bugout addresses bugout bags and situations, and I frequent it to see new ideas people come up with. Stay safe anyways people. (I would have bought some cheap radiation detector off amazon if I knew I lived so close to something, Boyscout motto, "Always be prepared". You can't necessarily always be prepared, but being in an open mindset and constantly weighing possibilities with some know-how can go a long way.)

P.S. People, a big thing I learned that I forgot to mention that I realize now, while the plume may be 10 miles, or even 50 afterwards, it's probably more like 300 miles. Not meaning that everyone within 300 miles (or actually more like 500 or more) is in danger, but depending on which way the wind does or does not blow, that's how far the debris or fallout can go. There is actually a system to figure out, a program online specifically, for any and all of these cases, to estimate how far it will go. It's designed for much smaller incidents, that are still catastrophic, if I can find the link I will post it in case anyone is interested. So basically while the plume will go up over a 10 mile radius, if the wind is X amount of knots going from West to East, it can travel X amount of distance. I'm almost positive the program is public for anyone so if anyone knows it offhand they can post it if I don't end up remembering myself.

If this is not true, the real disaster will be TPP Fast Track passing in the senate tomorrow. I wish i believed in something so I could pray to.

We all ALL Doomed Australia just fast tracked it also

i hope abbott dies of rectum cancer.

AHAHA

Pray to the sun.

http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message2886446/pg1?disclaimer=1

Really just the first post is relevant.

Looks like there was a big local discussion going on about a closure of the plant.

BEST is a nonprofit organization made of business and consumer groups. A BEST Coalition study by Kestler Energy Consulting on the LCPS found it could cost ComEd and Ameren ratepayers $295 million annually over the statutory contract period from January 2016 through May 2021.

“It’s unfortunate that instead of leveling with people in Illinois, Exelon is choosing to scare communities around the state at a time when its Illinois nuclear plants are profitable and they are about to get hundreds of millions in additional ratepayer funds for those plants later this summer,” BEST Coalition Director Dave Lundy said in a statement in response to a request by the Morris Herald-News for comment.

....

Osgood said if Illinois hopes to continue to pass the standards required by the Clean Air Act’, nuclear power will be necessary because wind can’t be relied upon.

Wind happened though :/

“Even though the three plants in danger of closing aren’t near us, it will affect us,” Brennan said.

As for BEST’s environmental concerns regarding nuclear energy, Kopczick disagrees.

“You can go stand next to the Dresden plant and be at less of a risk, because it’s confined, than if you were standing out on Route 47 inhaling exhaust fumes,” Kopczick said.

Also an NBC Chicago report from May 14th 2015.

Nuclear Evacuation Preps in Question for Chicago Area Communities

edit:

The Dresden Nuclear Power Station is using a boiling water reactor, which is a really old and dangerous design.

If it comes to a meltdown, the core will easily breach the containment by melting through control rods that are inserted from below.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_water_reactor#Disadvantages

Control rods are inserted from below for current BWR designs. There are two available hydraulic power sources that can drive the control rods into the core for a BWR under emergency conditions. There is a dedicated high pressure hydraulic accumulator and also the pressure inside of the reactor pressure vessel available to each control rod. Either the dedicated accumulator (one per rod) or reactor pressure is capable of fully inserting each rod. Most other reactor types use top entry control rods that are held up in the withdrawn position by electromagnets, causing them to fall into the reactor by gravity if power is lost.

I'm a BWR senior reactor operator.

About our control rods, they do go in from the bottom. They are driven in by water pressure. There are 3 ways the rods can be inserted to scram the reactor. First is the control rod drive pumps which can insert all rods. Second is that each rod has a pressurized tank of water with 1500-2000 PSIG of pressure that can insert each individual rod. Third is if the reactor is >600 PSIG, there are small check valves that will open to use reactor water to drive the rods in (it's much slower, but can shut the core down in the required time for the safety analysis). The scram lines for each control rod are held shut with electricity from the reactor protection system. If power to the reactor protection system is lost, the scram valves open, allowing this high pressure water to be injected underneath the control rod, slamming it into the core. BWR control rods are actually faster than the gravity driven rods that PWRs use. My BWR plant can get the reactor fully shutdown in under 1 second.

Once the rods are inserted, they have a ratchet locking mechanism preventing them from being removed. Removing the control rods requires the scram system be reset, and the normal drive pumps put back in standby.

Some interesting facts about control rods. They melt before the fuel does, meaning that in some very specific scenarios where the core is uncovered, but you get water level back up before the fuel melts, you may raise the water level only to find the control rods melted and the reactor is starting back up on its own. In this situation operators would be forced to start liquid boron injection, as it would be the only way of maintaining the core shut down with melted control rods.

In both a BWR and PWR, the fuel can easily melt through the bottom of the reactor vessel. PWR vessels, I believe, tend to fail all at once. While BWR vessels, because of all the control rod ports at the bottom, tend to only have melts and leaks through these ports, rather than a sudden rapid failure, meaning that there's a stronger possibility of holding the melted fuel in the reactor core.

Hope this was interesting!

Tldr for those banned from glp?

According to the National weather service a large tornado hit near Kankakee, Illinois. The NWS went so far as to issue what they call a "PDS" alert which stands for particularly dangerous situation. The agency says the storm crossed Interstate 55 in Grundy county, knocking down power lines. The downed power lines brought traffic on the interstate to a standstill. ETA...interesting... Grundy County is also home to Dresden Generating Station—the first privately financed nuclear power plant built in the United States—and the Morris Operation—the only de facto high-level radioactive waste storage site in the United States.

I live in WV Mts.. we have had VERY unusual weather.. as in not normal at all. Rains every freaking day but just 3 for months.. sunny some parts but a little storm or big storm everyday, or over night awake to see it rained.. ground is saturated & trees get unstable & crash all the time. But HOT intense sunny when sunny, but then rain, clouds, rain.. storms.. or showers.. but always so much rain.. every bldg is damp, concrete foundations damp, musty.. have to run dehumidifiers all the time.. seriously. Bought more, & borrowed some. It is like bizarre tropical weather, rainforest weather. And NOT usual for here at all. Lots of moss growing.. black mold on sidewalks, walkways.. think swampy.. yet this is the Mts.. it is WEIRD, not natural

And another weather comment...

I am in central Illinois and it has been raining every day for over 2 weeks here..occasional, brief sun, but ends up raining and/or storming on and off every day. The ground is oozing and squishing water.. fairs/carnivals have closed early or cancelled altogether. high winds at times..trees down. UGH, where is the sun? Yards are so saturated we can't mow. Really strange thunder too. 

That does sound like strange weather, but I don't see posts on that forum or this thread thinking of a possible cause to it.

What are people thinking it is? What do people here think? I don't know what to think, other than its just a random part of nature occurring and won't last. If there is a group out there purposely doing it, via weather control, what is the motive and end goal? Surely they can't "aim" a tornado to hit a nuclear plant....

Ha, how did you get banned?

Called the racist dirtbag of a mod a fag or something. From my experience though they ban people pretty easily just so you will subscribe like /u/whatsup said.

I'm wondering that too, lol. I troll them all the time and still have a press pass.

Listening to the police scanner now, sounds like they're setting up at a church for people to be sent to

Yeah, there was a tornado so of course they're setting up a relief area.

The power plant is fine, by the way, people need to stop falling for this bullshit.

Ok Obama.

/s

lol, obama made the tornado?

This is a bullshit post. I contacted several businesses nearby the nuclear power station and asked if they were open for business, and if they had a tornado come through there.

All of them are open for business and all of them said the Tornado did not directly hit them, or nearby.

Seems to me if a Cat 2-3 tornado came through and was strong enough to do damage to a power plant, that these business's wouldn't be open for business today.

Nice try OP.

*F-2 or F3

just heard on the livestream, they are going to need to someone to dig something up and shut it down..

Get your bottle caps ready.

There's plenty of people in Illinois that already look like they're full of rads so how will I know when I need them

Update?

Critical state is nuke speak for generating power. That is the desired state.

5 tornado touchdowns confirmed across north central Illinois; thousands without power

Proof pls.

There's a dozen or so news articles (ABC, wgn, etc) if you Google 'Kankakee tornado'.

[deleted]

A bomb is likely to hit your house within the hour.

Don't ask for proof, it's just a heads up.

wait, why?

Cuz. Just cuz.

Edit: Welp, guess everythings OK? What am I going to do with all these Starred Sarsaparilla Caps?

Why are people downvoting him? I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Your house is about to get blown up by the lizard people. RUN

Cuz they're loserds.

So what is going on? I saw your first comment saying you work there. Is that true?

It was a troll.

ABC article

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/latest-weather-winds-damage-michigan-buildings-31950420

• "Authorities say high winds have caused heavy damage in Coal City" ~ 2 dead

• Distance from Coal City to Dresden Generating Station http://gyazo.com/288fc55f0a7490120720f1759f669eb3

Doesn't seem too infeasible at this time

How did you find this out?

Let's just give you his name and social security number while he's at it. You don't need to know, he's giving everyone a heads up. I really have to question people who say "Proof pls." or "how do you know?" You sound like a shill who wants more info on an employee who is providing pertinent data to the public that your employer isn't doing, which is fucked up. If nothing happens, nothing happens, but he's letting you know in case it does.

No, I am not a shill. I was just wondering if he overheard someone saying it is all.

I don't know why you are being downvoted. OP obviously wants to be anon here. This guys questions raised the same concerns with me

You sound like some one who believes anything someone says as long as it goes against establishment.

Those who can actually help already know. If the nearby area isn't populated then reevaluate the risk.

Doesn't prove anything...but there is a nuclear power generating plant there...built in 1960...60 miles SW of downtown Chicago.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dresden+Generating+Station,+6500+N+Dresden+Rd,+Morris,+IL+60450/@41.388599,-88.269092,17z/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x880e844bba2186f1:0xcf82a61cc8f65f5e

the station is located right where 2 rivers (the Des Plaines River and the Kankakee River) join to form the Illinois River

OP said it was hit directly. Does anyone have the tornado's path mapped to see if this Dresden station was hit?

https://twitter.com/exelonnuclear/status/613198432128385024

Be aware that the Braidwood plant is about 10 miles south by east of Exelon's Dresden plant, which is the other plant rumored to be one at risk currently (at least in this thread).

I live 40 miles from here, really hope this is BS.

Check the wind, get at least 50 miles away.

I am at work, I can not just leave, unfortunately.

Apparenlty this is atleast partially true https://patch.com/illinois/joliet/severe-weather-headed-chicago-area-0

I know people who work at this plant, and everything is fine there. No one is being sequestered. Why are you posting false information here? This sub has gone way downhill.

I know for a fact something is indeed going down. I have a relative who works for UniStar Nuclear Energy, whom share the same nuclear management and control system database as Exelon Nuclear. Their maintenance feeds were severed around the same time as the tornado after spiking heavily and they have not been online since. Some of there contractors are currently being flown over there to assist with damage assessment as well.

Edit: Jokes.

The storms were really really bad today, I know that for sure, I was hit a few hours before Illinois. Trees were down, hurricane force winds, etc.

Critical as in just how critical?

Critical State means it's normal:

http://energy.about.com/od/gloss/a/What-Is-Criticality-In-A-Nuclear-Power-Plant.htm

But OP is claiming employees sequestered and information being classified. In his context, I think he's saying critical as in bad.

http://www.grundyco.org/emergency-management/ everyone call them and make em say it

fucking morons lol

So I checked out this site-----> http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/reactor-status/ps.html

Region 3

and it shows Dresden 2 and 3 plants at 100%. Not sure who started this shit storm but an update would really be nice.

I lived se near a nuke plant within 100 miles there were this sensors mounted on utility poles. If any radiation was detected they would light up like a Christmas tree automatically

https://mobile.twitter.com/exelonnuclear/status/613198432128385024

From my weather app it seems like some of the main transmission lines were hit. The nuke reactor itself is ok.

If real fallout happens before Fallout 4, I'll be pissed.

The interstate around the nuclear plant, I-55 is shut down, supposedly for down power lines

http://patch.com/illinois/crystallake/severe-weather-headed-chicago-area

Are we making up conspiracies now?

If this shit indeed went down I would think these dumb assess would be notifying the public to gtfo.

Do some light research. When Chernobyl happened, they let everyone carry one for WEEKS before they evacuated. They don't have your best interests in mind when it comes to this kind of shit. It's all about CYA- covering your ass

It's a tragedy most don't realize this. Like the gov. DOESNT give a fuck about you or your family or your dog sparky.

Agreed. I'm trying to be careful and get facts instead of fiction but I am currently working in the Chicago area and will be travelling through the affected area on my way home. I don't think for one second that we would be warned ahead of a disaster. I posted on FB just to warn family and friends. Even if it turns out to be nothing, they'll be prepared.

I don't think for one second that we would be warned ahead of a disaster. I posted on FB just to warn family and friends. Even if it turns out to be nothing, they'll be prepared.

Why do you believe we wouldn't be warned?

I think you're being a bit paranoid.

OK....here's a perfect example. FUKUSHIMA! Only after it was too late to do anything were we informed of the catastrophe. Now, our fish, livestock, and produce are contaminated on the west coast and it's STILL heading east. Our government didn't do shit to let us know that this was a possibility yet now we are supposed to rely on MSM for "accurate" news reporting? Not sure how long you've lived in this country but it doesn't seemed like you've learned anything or you're just not paying attention.

When Chernobyl happened, they let everyone carry one for WEEKS before they evacuated

No, the evacuation began the next day, April 27th.

My bad. Memory isn't what it used to be considering I just saw an excellent post about 2 months ago from someone (can't find the thread now) who laid out in great detail the entire event history at Chernobyl. I didn't know much about it before but I was really fascinated...and impressed how thorough OP was in the details.

But seriously, I still don't trust them to put the public's interest before their own.

I've just read and watched a lot of material about Chernobyl, and hate seeing misinformation spread. There were still cleanup workers at the plant weeks later, and the evacuation itself took some time, but the Pripyat evacuation did begin within 24 hours of the explosion.

I'm with you though, I wouldn't put it past any energy company to fuck a community for their bottom line.

Yeah I think that's what stuck with me. The fact that there were workers there weeks after the event.

I just don't trust energy companies or large corporations...i.e duh gubmint

Of course you don't, because like with this you believe a bunch of made up bullshit.

Say what you want. I don't care. I guess I would rather people have a fair chance at making up their own minds rather than someone do it for them. If this is all fake then I guess we've all been duped but, like I said, I travel through this area and if shit like this was actually going down then I want to know so I could avoid it. Seems you're on a different page.

Sounds like you've made up your mind and cast aspersions to get there.

Haven't heard anything from Exelon or the NRC on this...

There is a great disturbance in the force.

I guess time will tell if this is true.

I'd assume county

Ah ok, thanks

"July 15, 2011: Plant declared an Alert at 10:16 a.m after a chemical leak of sodium hypochlorite restricted access to a vital area that houses plant cooling water pumps.[3]" from the wiki on the Dresden Power Plant in Illinois, maybe the oversight just wasn't there.

How bad of a "leak" was it in 2011 I wonder if this post has any truth to it.

Uhh, doesn't this just mean that, for some reason, bleach is leaking?

Hardly a catastrophe. Unless you're wearing colors, that is.

Hmmmm you are probably correct it didn't cause any harm. In any case does this post have any further updates because a tornado did hit the area I believe. Curious.

Hahaha, just a guess. I didn't notice the date.

And yes, I can confirm (through driving through there) that there WAS a tornado...it did NOT hit Dresden or Morris.

They didn't even SCRAM the plant--which they will sometimes do as too much energy in one place is a BAD thing for nuke plants. It was simply diverted (automagically) into the grid and that was that.

There's no safer place to be during an EF-2 tornado than a containment vessel...trust me on this one. Even if it's "live" it's damn safe.

Do you have a source?

from the wiki on the Dresden Power Plant in Illinois

Just google it dude...

EDIT: I did it for you

Thanks! Assholes

building nuclear power plants near oceans where huge tsunamis could show up at any moment, building them in the path of fucking tornadoes, who the fuck decided all this crap?

Money always seems to win sadly.

They build these things where there is space and an easy source of water in case they need water quickly.

Tornados were taken into consideration when designing these plants. Google "10 cfr 50 tornados"

Contact these guys...http://www.fairewinds.org/contact-fairewinds/

With all the security advice being offered, how boned is he for simply posting this here?

So nothing happened. The top minds does it again.

I live basically in the worst possible area if something is to go down, has there been any updates or does anyone know how serious the damage done is? Kinda freaked out.

I wonder as well

6500 N Dresden Rd, Morris, IL 60450

It would have to be Dresden station if it actually happened. Looking into weather in the area now.

any update?

http://patch.com/illinois/tinleypark/severe-weather-headed-chicago-area

Only mention i have found

Radioactive mutants or it didn't happen.

Anyone see that?

Everyone! Stay in your parents basement!

Hot pockets sprinkled with iodine are excellent for radiation chelation!

I have a friend who lives up there. I hope she is okay.
