I still have a cousin in Lockhart. As Michelle says, it could be fine. But it would be nice if the feds and the state weren't sneaking around about something as potentially dangerous a nuclear materials.
This is the beginning of the story. The story ends with a site contaminated with radioactive isotopes that neither the EPA nor the TXEQC will help the county clean up. How do I know? There's a former industrial site in Denton contaminated with radioactive isotopes that is not public knowledge, and noone is doing anything about. I know this from a former City of Denton employee who consulted the TXEQC, the EPA and Dept. of Energy about what the City could do, with no results. The former owner just declared bankruptcy and escaped responsibility.
Similarly, there's a former battery plant in Frisco (Exide) that the city has been trying to remediate for 20 years, and has engaged in a string of lawsuits to that end. The former owner declared bankruptcy and escaped responsibility. The battery plant was on Stewart Creek, into which the plant tossed the crushed remnants of battery casings, which have washed all the way down to Lake Lewisville, the water supply for City of Dallas.
At one point the EPA had committed funds for remediation, but that assistance has evaporated, surprising no one. The creek flows through a site that Frisco wanted to turn into the crown jewel of the City park system, with water from the creek flowing through the park. Needless to say, the park has never been built, while Frisco taxpayers have paid millions to remove soil from the plant site. Nothing can be done about the contaminated creek, however. It's miles from the site to the Lake, and it winds through multiple Frisco subdivisions and parks. None of them could have been built if the extent of the contamination had been known at the time.
Every county in Texas is a quiet environemental disaster as a result of a state government owned by the people extracting wealth from the state and leaving a disaster behind for the people who live here.
Itās a federal fire code written and passed specifically because of a similar situation in CA. If I can get your contact info, Iāll connect you with someone who has fought this.

I was at that parade carrying a No Kings sign. The commissioners next meeting is at the courthouse. It starts at nine. Iāll be handing out fliers and permission forms to speak around 8:30 in front of entrance to the courthouse.
Holy š©! I wonder if I still family that lives there.
I know I do in Luling.
Iām glad my Mom is no longer is alive. She would know who lives there and then worry about them. Ignorance is bliss.
Would they be so secretive if this was going to be good for that county? š¤¬
This is why GOP wants to RULE and not Govern. š¢

There's been an uproar in Caldwell County about the invasion of data centers. Most people don't even know about the nuclear plant. The maga County Judge Hoppy Haden now claims his hands while earlier voting for subsidies. https://www.fox7austin.com/news/no-kings-themed-float-banned-caldwell-county-parade
