Radioactive leak at Dounreay nuclear power plant

A minor radioactive leak has taken place at a nuclear power plant in Caithness. The incident is being described as minor. The corporate media are being very careful to underplay this story. It currently is not on the guardian or daily mail main webpages, and is only a minor story on bbc uk. However the bbc story is very careful to trumpet the site operator's (probably true) claim that no one's lives were put at risk. It seems people will have to die before anyone accepts the danger of nuclear power.

Pathetic attempt to talk up a non event

A minor leak with no injuries and no threat to anyone, I can't imagine why the media didn't cover that.

In other news a man nearly got knocked over when he crossed the road

Nuke power = answer to climate change

Perhaps ...

it's not on the daily mail or guardian websites because it is so minor.

alarmist
