Reply to comment by danranja in Xcel Energy to power down Monticello nuclear plant early after more radioactive water leaks out by VaccumSaturdays

FYI it was immediately reported. It's not their fault it randomly started making headlines later.

Cool, care to admit you're wrong now? You're on the internet, you have the ability to check things before making stupid commentary.

The news story YOU JUST LINKED says Xcel reported the leak right away.

The REGULATORS didn't tell the public. In this case, the government failed the people. The company followed proper reporting proceedure.

But you know, keeping having a shitty, know-it-all attitude? How's that working out for you?

They literally reported it to the public later. The article explains they chose not to.

Do try to read it next time.

You posted an article that said they voluntarily reported it after they found the leak. They weren’t even required to because it hadn’t reached unsafe levels so what is your point exactly? There is regulation for reporting this, they did nothing wrong.

None of you can read.

The comment he was responding to was about reporting it to the public.

They chose not to report it to the public, as I said.

Do try to actually read the comment you're trying to correct.

It’s not their job to notify the public, that would be the regulating agency and bonus it’s not a fucking safety concern.

Weird, and yet they managed to notify the public the second time around.

Transparency goes a long way, but the point is the person was responding to a comment about lack of public notification. They were wrong.

I've said nothing about health hazard, I know what tritium is and what acceptable levels are. Stop strawmanning the argument here.

No spin at all. The comment you responded to was about informing the public. Your lack of reading comprehension isn't my problem.
