about where the leak occurred, how
much was released into groundwater,
and that contaminated groundwater
had moved beyond the original location,

also storing and processing contaminated water.

Ongoing monitoring from over two dozen
on-site monitoring wells confirms that
the leaked water is fully contained on-site
and has not been detected beyond
the facility or in any local drinking water, Xcel Energy, via statement.

being stored and processed contains
tritium levels below federal limits

President Trumpās highly anticipated 250th Army anniversary parade in Washington D.C. was meant to be a patriotic spectacleābut it fell flat. Despite tanks, military flyovers, and millions spent, the streets were shockingly under-attended. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of anti-Trump protesters flooded cities across the U.S., chanting āNo Kingsā and calling for his ouster. The contrast was jarring: as Trump delivered a brief 8-minute speech calling the U.S. āthe hottest country,ā political violence rocked Minnesota and national tensions surged. Is this a celebrationāor a country in crisis?
