LLAW’s 'All Things Nuclear' #551, Sunday (02/25/2024)
“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”
LLAW’s COMMENTS, Sunday (02/25/2024)
A fairly quiet Sunday. The downed power line feeding the ZPPR nuclear power plant in Ukraine that could have helped create a nuclear disaster has been successfully repaired according to the latest news. Another close call, and always keep in mind that the more operating nuclear plants that come online in the future, the greater the risk of nuclear disaster.
That’s all I have to say this evening, but don’t forget that 2nd half of my the ‘Prologue’ to my planned “El Nuclear Diablo” novel will be Posted on the evening of February 29th, leading into Chapter 1 one of the serialized story to be originally available to readers of this “LLAW’s All Things Nuclear” nightly report on my personal website or on Substack beginning on Thursday March 14, because this is leap year and February has 29 days. Therefore, I will plan to keep it on a Thursday evening permanently. Facebook links to both sites will continue, as always. ~llaw
