Breaking news from now from France 24, which follows the massive7.9 Costa Rica earthquake moments ago.
- BREAKING FRANCE: FIRE BREAKS OUT AT FESSENHEIM NUCLEAR PLAN, INJURIES REPORTED
Fessenheim is France's oldest nuclear power plant located in the Alsace region.
More:
Eight employees working on the nuclear site Fessenheim in Alsace, were victims of an incident Wednesday. At the origin of their injuries, a release of hydrogen peroxide vapor, "following the injection of hydrogen peroxide in a tank," said Europe 1 prefecture of Haut-Rhin.

It is out. Back to your coffee ole and croissandwiches.
H2O2 injection probably being done for primary plant chemistry control (pre-shutdown to reduce H2?). This is a chemical fire.
Where is the H2 coming from? Peroxide and H2 is not a nice mix. Would they use the H2O2 to keep microorganisms from growing on surfaces?
c
Meltdown!
c
Edit failue -- was going to say that the H2 can come from zirconium cladding on power rods when exposed to air and extreme heat. That's what blew the rooves off of the Fukushima buildings.
You forgot the Bitchez!
Crepes Nuczette?
"Remember Fessenheim!"
- a line from a Dirty Harry film.
I'm concerned about the 6 inconvenienced workers. Remember the inconvenienced!
Translation issue. They meant incontinence.....as in "Oh Shit".

Will be useful the next time a nuke plant goes off...
Let them eat irradiated cake.
Let them eat yellowcake.
Sock Ray Blue!!
That's serious business in France inconveniencing workers is a felony offence, nvm the radiation just watch this develop into the real story
Good thing it's not Maria Bartiromo doing the reporting. I can hear it now:
"We've got a large earthquake being reported in Costa Rica and a fire as well at a nuclear plant in France. Let's go to Bob Doll and see what stocks he's buying as a result. Bob, whaddya like here?"
Fukushineheim bitchez
This shit is just to funny... and of course all will be well untill we all start to glow in the dark...
Think of the reduced need for interior lighting if people glowed in the dark. Then France could get by with fewer nuclear plants.
I thought of buying a glow-in-the-dark Japanese car late last year, because it would be easy to locate in a parking lot after dark. Then I remembered that I don't go out after dark because it would conflict with watching all those mind-numbing 'reality' shows. I mean, who can resist "Dancing with the Wannabe-Stars Who Think They Have Talent But Don't"?
Who's to say it isn't the next phase of human evolution.
There isn't going to be any more 'evolution'. Now it's only 'lethal mutation', for all lifeforms on this planet:

My wife will "glow" after the first sip!!!
So France will go off nukes along with Germany?
You know what they need more of? Natural gas.
"Non monsieur, that green that you see on the brie is not mold."
That Green you see on the brie is a yuppie. Shoot the Greens ... er, green shoots!
The only "green emissions" coming out of the Choomwagon were of the giggly type.
Wait... is ZH suggesting that the 2 events are related?
bullish!
They'll do anything to shut Jim Willie up
I just heard a "Whoops!" from HAARP
That was supposed to be a thunderstorm in Charlotte, my bad.
Hey !
Stock up on that wine while you can...
I'll drink no wine before its time glowing.
Only wine and aged cheeses pre-3/11/11.
Wow Gazprom, that was quick...
Plot from Dirty Harry movie The Enforcer. Bobby Maxwell's gang 'Peoples Revolutionary Strike Force' planted a bomb in Fessenheim plant.
So you're saying Clint Eastwood had prior knowledge of this event? Interesting indeed.
I was looking for the Dirty Harry/The Enforcer reference--otherwise I was to make it in a comment. The name: Fessenheim, in Alsace, reflects the sort-lived German presence 1871-1919 (Franco-Prussian War to WW I). The French are funny--funny/strange--with their language and culture obsession, yet use a German name on their first nuke plant. What's "go figure" in French?
Eartquake in Costarica?Maybe this was the reason for whales suisides on florida beaches last days.
Nah, the whales were driven to suicide by network coverage of the Republican Convention in Tampa.
Could be sabotage by Syrian terrorists. Or Iranian. God still gets credit, mostly, for earthquakes.
Maybe God is undeservedly getting the credit.
The deep sea drilling research vessels Chikyu Hakken and Joides Resolution couldn't possibly be implicated in these God-created disasters.
transitory
HAARP colegues...
Chemical burns don't imply a fire. Don't see any other mention of a fire...
So what made hydrogen peroxide hot enough to be vaporized? Or was Corzine in the neighborhood?
Speaking of fire, did you read the headline? The one starting with 'Fire breaks out...'?

IBT is only one claiming a fire broke out, and that's a repost of the ZH story:
Fire Breaks Out At Fessenheim Nuclear Power Plant, Injuries ReportedRe-posted from Zero Hedge | September 5, 2012 11:00 AM EDT
Peroxides are incredibly nasty substances. We work around nitrogen tetroxide and hydrazine, each of which will kill you with a whiff. Peroxide burns are horrific enough, but inhalation is unthinkable, as the vapors will consume the lungs themselves.
I've worked with high grade peroxide myself. +1 ancona, they have no idea.
In the past, I have done a great deal of research and testing with benzoylmethylecgonine and it was inhaled often.
Yep, so have I.
Rocket fuel.
Real nasty shit.
Mix Corexit and Hydrazine and what you got is a substance that can vaporize segregated accounts. Nasty stuff.
I see what you did there.
the bad news is, your face has burned off. the good news is you're now blond....
Shoulda switched to LFTRs, bitchez.
I radiate nuclear waste in your general direction...
If France goes off Nukes it will kill far far more people via energy starvation - the price of NG will enter orbit killing millions of people in Spain ,Italy ,Ireland ......it will create a energy black death in Europe.
Let them burn wood, or here's a fucking idea that might blow your mind, tell the french people it's up to you to generate your own fucking power if you want it, ala the "micro grid"!!!!
Ya ya I know, it wouldnt work in today's world, because we are all so fucking spoiled and entitled, that we are to busy screaming how everyone else is too entitled and spoiled, to do a fucking thing for ourselves!!!!
It's the governments job to supply us all with cheap energy without end!! It's the corporations job!! It's everyone job, but my own, don't bother me, I'm too busy watching Premeir League (nfl) to give a fuck!
the human population on this planet is far, far above what is sustainable.
Soon to be fixed....
Very soon. Within a few generations.

Well it will suck if the Panama Canal has any issues.
It's quite inetersing to note that the there is a February September 3 year Massive Earthquake Pulse and tsunami pattern.
2004 9.1 Feb
2007 8.5 Sept
2010 8.5 Feb
2012 7.9 Sept ...so far
2012- 2013 ?
I just researched this within the last 24hrs, based on being inspired by, of all things, POTUS's 2011 White House debt ceiling speech and his coming 2012 September 14th debt ceiling to earthquake Washington Monument earthquake caused shut down. Ironic?
...and now for a wild twist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ7RaOMHb5I&feature=fvwrel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNozdw7QJlc&list=UU0kNJbW_LWvqL6niPy1wAmg&index=1&feature=plcp If I recall this relates to the Sumarian Nibiru http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvfVdRz4GHI
I see a future at Fox News for her. ( :
Ahhh... Memories of the future. And don't forget "We're gonna have to change our history".
Must be a slow news day.
Amazing France is admitting a problem.
Reactor must be near a news outlet.
i hope that fucker melts down and poisons millions of people, and deforms all their children so people can finally wake the fuck up to the fact that nuclear energy is AT BEST net energy neutral given the costs of construction, maintenance, and disposal of spent fuel. at worst, multiple meltdowns across the globe (say, 10 or 20 simultaneously) would mean an extinction level event for all sentient beings on this planet.
every single one of these plants are ticking time bombs, and all need to be decommissioned immediately. it's probably too late anyway.
The disaster at Fukushima is an ELE. Our planet is swimming in trillions of lethal nanoradionuclide particles. If you've been breathing, eating or drinking since 3/11/11, welcome to the club.
No country needs nuclear weapons to defend against those that do have them because all the countries that have nukes are blowing themselves up. And if Iran needed to get rid of the US they would take a bazooka to Fukushima #4 fuel pool or any other. So in the US there better be a full arsenel of DHS and TSA around each Reactor danger area along with 24 hour satellite surveilance. The TSA should not be wasting money testing Starbucks Coffee. The way Eric Holder is providing Hand grenades and rocket launchers to the Mexican cartels and Obama opening the boarder to Mexico we don't stand a chance of getting through this for long.
Now if der Elsaß (Alsace) had only remained German....
FWIW :
I've been tracking EQs for years.
The Sun is playing up, and the 14 day average # of EQs has risen to the highest I've ever seen today :

Big one for sure. 80 miles away and was scared shitless. And I have been through about 10 of em.
Anyway I´m sure glad I was not out boating when it happened. Could have lost it all.
Potassium Iodide Bitchezzzzzzzzz
The restriction of information is more informative than the h2o2 information provided.
The French are responsible for providing the engineering and technology for the bulk of Syrian/Middle Eastern CBW capability - far more than the Russians - so I will not shed a tear if the whole country gets nuked, or plagued, or gassed. Chickens coming home to roost IMO. The French government and military/industrial establishment are pigs.
