//The Wire//2300Z March 24, 2023// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: Riots continue throughout France. Monticello Power Plant to shut down for repairs.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -National Events- MN: Monticello Power Plant officials announced that the entire facility will be powered down for repairs following the enduring leak of Tritium water into the local groundwater supply. Repair work revealed the presence of a second (allegedly previously unknown) leak, prompting the immediate shutdown of the plant for repairs. Officials continue to stress that there is absolutely zero risk to public health. NY: The situation surrounding Trump's possible arrest has all but vanished from mainstream media sources. -International Events- France: Protests/riots continue throughout France. King Charles III's state visit has been postponed due to the kinetic situation throughout the country. Macron (and other officials) have begun to crack down on demonstrations as the rioting and arson has expanded significantly, threatening key governmental agencies and buildings. Analyst Comments: As expected, the Tritium leak at Monticello NPP was far worse than first disclosed. Officials continue to downplay the health risks, despite openly admitting to the contamination of the local water supply. Shutting down a nuclear power plant is no joke, and strongly indicates the true severity of these (now multiple) leaks. Officials will almost certainly seek to cover up the real severity of the incident and make repairs before the general public figures out what really happened. Despite now fading into memory, Trump's potential arrest is still very much of concern due to the wide-ranging societal impacts of such a milestone. Clearly, the recent focus on this event was intended to gauge public opinion. Though it is difficult to determine how much of this event is political theater, what's quite clear is that Trump will continue to be targeted by the regime as long as he is a political threat. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst: S2ANNNN
