Fucking why? Say why? The article was useless.
The why doesn’t seem to be public. Speculation is a military test, perhaps some radar test.
radar doesn’t make things radioactive
Navy, Air force or something is probably playing with the new Space Fence that is on Kwajalein (or any of the shit ton of radars they have over there).
2.69MW radiated power in the microwave band could be enough to make any PAX aboard an aircraft into a way too hot pocket of meat.
Goddamnit, now I’m hungry and I’m out of hot pockets.
This is a garbage website/source, but adds some more context:
Apparently a big concrete dome where loads of radioactive shit from old tests has cracked due to weather/climate related wear and tear.
An article from 2019, highlighting the risks of this thing becoming a problem: https://www.latimes.com/projects/marshall-islands-nuclear-testing-sea-level-rise/
The radiation warning is near a different atoll, so hard to say if the above is related or not, but it’s kinda blowing my mind how limited reporting is on the subject. It feels like it’s being suppressed in English language media.
The US doesn’t want to draw attention to the absolute fuckfest that their nuclear testing wrought on the world.
The Soviets too, but at least the Soviets bombed bumfuck nowhere in Siberia.
IIRC there was a giant rouge wave there recently and it flooded a US military base
