PSU reactor threat not a threat to people

Link

University officials have said that the leak in the 71,000-gallon pool that shields the core's radiation and cools the reactor poses no risk to students, employees, the community or the environment.

Do you believe them?

I don't.

But then I'm one of those people that thinks its insane to use a source of power that if something goes wrong, the area is uninhabitable for the next 10,000 years. And also there's the problem of what to do with the waste. And the waste always faces the NIMBY problem. So they force Nevada to take it. Funny how its one of the furthest point away from Washington DC in the continental U.S.

So... what would they say if the employees/students faced enough that they were going to die next month, or next year? Would they really announce everyone is going to die? Or would they do the same thing they always do when something happens. "It's not dangerous. Every thing's fine."

Sort a like using a chain to keep King Kong off the Empire State building...
