It was not a huge release. OP's site is scaremongering to further an anti-nuke agenda. It's not in the news because it was a non-event.

Yucca Mountain was a safe viable solution to storing nuclear waste. Enviro-whackos kept moving the goal posts in the courts until finally it was abandoned. The storage containers nuclear waste is in now, while not as safe as Yucca Mountain, is very safe.

So, has anyone had any sort of confirmation concerning how much of this stuff was actually spilled?
Also, as far as I am aware, no one knows the amount of tritium that was released in the Grand Gulf incident.
The NRC doesn't really know (or admit if they do know), the Grand Gulf operator Entergy Corporation doesn't know how much (or don't admit it), and neither do we the people.
We have to take a common sense approach here due to lack of hard facts on actual levels of contamination. Any release is a big deal, and it's terribly negligent.
If anyone can find actual data on the quantity released we can do calculations and determine that. Problem is, there may not actually be any data to find...
