Indeed, there have been a number of close calls over the last six decades due to human and technological errors. As far back as 2012, he recommended doing away with the ICBMs, taking US nuclear weapons off hair-trigger alert, and reducing the number of deployed US nuclear warheads—estimated at the time at 2,150 —to 900.

This could help put measures in place that limit damage to technology and energy grids on Earth from the electromagnetic radiation. On 23 July 2012, humanity escaped technological and economic disaster. While CMEs as large as the 2012 event are rare, lesser ones cause damage on Earth about once every three years.

The site was acquired by Fairmont Brine Processing in 2012 and has been inactive since 2017. Radioactive TENORM EPA’s response will focus on radionuclides in the form of TENORM (Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material). FBP would treat fluids from the hydraulic fracturing process used to extract natural gas.
