The naturalization ceremony at on the Fourth of July is the highlight of the year. Fifty-four new citizens from 28 countries took the oath. The woman who wore a firefighter's helmet during the ceremony (she's a volunteer firefighter) was a star. So, too, the woman from the Philippines who said, "Immigrants, we get the job done. I'm not going to miss my shot!"

"Leaks from nuclear power plant raise safety fears across US

Leaks were contained and posed no danger, official reports say, but past disasters continue to cause fears of power source.

In December, Janica Jammes started a microgreens business just across the river from Energy’s plant in .

At least once each day, she uses water from her well to nourish the plant trays. She delivers her product to customers within a 10-mile radius and says the business has been a success.

But now she worries that her water could be contaminated by a leak of about 400,000 gallons of radioactive water that occurred in November at the plant, which is about 40 miles north-west of .

Moreover, Jammes is upset that the company did not alert the public about the leak until March – and then detected a second leak, which the company described as smaller than the first one."

"Monticello nuclear plant radioactive leak: A timeline"

"Late last year, a leak of hundreds of thousands of gallons of contaminated water was discovered at Energy's Nuclear Generating Plant.

There was a monthslong delay in announcing the initial leak to the public, raising questions about public safety and transparency.

Then, a second leak meant the plant had to power down. And now, Xcel Energy says the leak is fixed and the plant will reopen soon.

A lot has happened between the leak and the plant's planned reopening, including a fish kill in the Mississippi River.

Here's a timeline of events:"

Xcel Energy to temporarily shut down nuclear plant after two radioactive water leaks; company says no threat to public

March 24, 2023

"On Wednesday, the plant's monitoring equipment detected hundreds of gallons worth of radioactive water since the crews made temporary repairs, and that it had reached . Officials say the contaminated water, containing the radioactive isotope , has not yet reached the , which runs next to the plant.

"When the leak was first detected back in November, Xcel used a catchment and a pumping strategy to recovered the water containing tritium. They say they've recovered about 30% of that water so far. But over the past couple days, some of that radioactive water was spilling over the catchment, creating a new leak."

Ummmm....

March 17, 2023: power plant leaks 400,000 gallons of radioactive water

While Xcel Energy reported the leak of water containing tritium to state and federal authorities in late November, the spill had not been made public before Thursday.

"When asked why Xcel Energy didn’t notify the public earlier, the company said: “We understand the importance of quickly informing the communities we serve if a situation poses an immediate threat to health and safety. In this case, there was no such threat.” The company said it focused on investigating the situation, containing the affected water and figuring out next steps."

W elektrowni jądrowej Monticello 🇺🇸 doszło do wycieku wody zawierającej radioaktywny tryt.

Wyciekło około 400 000 galonów (1,5 mln litrów) z niewielkiej rury łączącej dwa budynki elektrowni, jednak nie wyszło poza teren obiektu. Brak zagrożenia dla ludności cywilnej.

A branch of my family has been doing bi-weekly for nearly 3 years now. This week’s theme was to cook “something a (pre-Civil War) U.S. President would eat. We made a recipe from and a macaroni and recipe from and they were both very, very bland. In addition, the did not combine the cheese before baking, so instead of creamy, it was just clumpy and greasy. Everyone prefers my recipe. Take that, Thomas .

I chose to shoot this on 35mm because I wanted to evoke a gritty, declining feel to this BEAUTIFUL shot of small town of which is dying from big box stores killing their mainstreet.

I think we should all take time to consider if we really need to have our 'things' right away. Support local businesses by only buying what they have in store. I live by, "if they don't have it, you probably didn't need it".

Enjoy.
