radioactive waste had leaked from a nuclear power plant in Monticello — but they didn’t announce anything about the leak until this week.The delay in notifying the public about the November leak raised questions about public safety and transparency, but industry experts said Friday there was never a public health threat. They said Xcel Energy voluntarily notified state agencies and reported the leak of tritium to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission soon after it was confirmed and that the leak of 400,000 gallons (1.5 million liters) of radioactive water never reached a threshold that would have required public notification."This is something that we struggle with because there is such concern with anything that is nuclear," said Victoria Mitlyng, a spokesperson with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Discover fall foliage maps and where to see fall foliage right now

fall season, temperatures won’t be the only thing changing across the country.The transition also marks the start of fall foliage, which makes for some spectacular photos of those vibrant red, yellow and orange leaves.However, peak fall foliage season is highly contingent on your location, and in some areas that can start as early as September and peak in either October or November.That good information to remember if any leaf peepers out there are wondering how to plan a fall foliage trip.While the color of leaves depends on the chlorophyll, weather conditions during the summer or early fall can play a big role in how magnificent the sights are.Chlorophyll is a pigment that helps give leave their color. It helps the trees create their own food thorough photosynthesis, which converts sunlight into chemical energy. The lack of chlorophyll can help reveal the sought-after yellow, orange and red colors, which are usually bountiful during rainier periods.Large deviations from average precipitation, either on the dry or wet sides, can greatly affect fall foliage season across the country."The drought is a big factor this year.
