Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012 ABC News Reporting That Nuclear Industry Will Change Stories.

Dutchsince reports on a 6.9 magnitude earthquake north of New Zealand.
Dutch also notes that a major news outlet, ABC, actually reported on the changing story from the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant officials regarding the release of radiative steam on Feb. 1, 2012.

Dutch says "Diane Sawyer = awesome! quote: “sometimes nuclear plants change the story AFTER an accident…”

The news story, "Nuclear Plant Leak in Southern California" also provides a map of US nuclear power plants, noting that 96 of them lie in heavily populated areas in earthquake zones, leading to a possible Fukushima scenario.

Reporter David Wright notes that the reactor is now closed. The newstory includes a statement by Gary Headricks, activist, who states, "If we don't make them shut it down, it going to be too late. We can't wait for the NRC, we can't wait for the government."

As always, we can contact our public servants in Washington D.C. regarding this issue.

Wed. Feb. 1, 2012 Another US Nuclear Power Plant Closes, Earthquakes by Nuclear Power Plants in Virginia and Washington State, and How to Cook Potatoes

A California Nuclear Power Plant Shuts Down a Reactor as a Precaution, along with Illinois Plant. Earthquakes Near Nuclear Power Plants in Virginia and Washington State.
As reported by Dutchsince, the California San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant reactor had a leak, resulting in the shutdown of the plant. This joins the shutdown of the Illinois Byron Nuclear plant after radioactive steam escaped January 30th to 31st, and blew over the Chicago area. Dutch also reports earthquakes in the vicinity of Washington state's Hanford Nuclear Reservation and Cuckoo Virginia nuclear plant.

How to Cook Potatoes to Avoid Carcinogen Acrylamide.
French fries, potato chips, baked potatoes: these are all-American staples in our diets. Yet, according to an article by David Gutierrez for NaturalNews.com, the very process of cooking foods with starch can create the carcinogen acrylamide. If you want to avoid this carcinogen, Gutierrez provides these guidelines in his article "Frying Potatoes to Make Chips or French Fries Produces a Potent Chemical Carcinogen Called Acrylamide."

"Potatoes should be stored outside the refrigerator in a cool, dark place. Before frying, they should be sliced, soaked in water for 15-30 minutes, then patted dry. They should be fried at lower temperatures for less time, until they are golden yellow -- not brown."
