I think this is still speculative though.
From what I understand from local papers it is also believed a piece of salt fell from the ceiling (waste is housed in an old salt mine).
- timr 12y agoThat's old information. This story is the current theory.
- jqm 12y agoOh. Do they have any evidence against the salt fall theory? My understanding is that no one has been back down the hole since the event.
- timr 12y agoThey've been inside the room that had the leak, and they have video of the ruptured drum. There were no problems with the mine walls, and the evidence suggests the damage was heat-related: http://www.wipp.energy.gov/wipprecovery/photo_video.html http://www.wipp.energy.gov/wipprecovery/photo_video.html
