Is it Still Operational?

Camp Century

I don't think so, I read the nuclear reactor was deactivated in the late 60's.
The Base closed in 1967.

I also read that a group of So Called Scientist evaluated the camp in 2016 and decided due to Climate Change in Denmark and the rest of the world that the snow cap will melt and could release the nuclear waste, 20,000 liters of chemical waste and 24 million liters of untreated sewage into the environment.
But I'm sure Al Gore or the United Nations paid for that So-Called scientific evaluation of the Environmental Impact.
Set back and watch this historical Documentary.

Wow...! I'd never heard of it!

Camp Century (Project Iceworm).

'The creepily named Project Iceworm was a secret U.S. Cold War mission to plan missile launch sites under the
ice in Greenland. The plan was to dig 2,500 miles of tunnels in which to store and maybe someday launch 600
nuclear missiles.



Greenland was an ideal site because of its proximity to Russia, but this also made the construction that much more
risky. It was kept a secret from Denmark, of which Greenland is a constituent. But you can’t just go digging thousands
of miles in in the ice and expect no one to notice.

So, as a cover, the U.S. Army claimed to be building “Camp Century,” a “research facility” sanctioned by Denmark.
Built in 1960 near Thule Air Base, its stated purpose was to study construction techniques and established scientific
experiments under Arctic conditions.

In actuality it was all a cover; the underground research facility gave the U.S. an excuse to dig under the ground to plant
the missiles. 

Though Camp Century was a diversion, it wasn’t totally hollow. Coring deep into the ice allowed scientists to study thousands
of years of climate history. They were also able to look back in time by observing germs preserved in water that melted off
glaciers.

People lived and worked there year-round—the underground camp included a chapel, a theater, and a hobby shop, all
contained in interconnected tunnels sort of like an ant colony. All the electricity was supplied by the world’s first mobile
nuclear reactor, which was assembled elsewhere then placed in the deep recesses of the snow.

Though Camp Century utilized some traditional building materials like wood and steel, most of the tunnels were simply dug
into the ice (hence the name “Iceworm”). It was predicted to have lasted ten years without substantial upkeep, but the glaciers
were moving faster than expected, which would ultimately render the camp unusable.
It was evacuated, used infrequently for a few years, then totally abandoned in 1967.

When Camp Century was deserted, it was left almost entirely intact.
The U.S. military assumed consistent snowfall and crushing glaciers would encase the research facility for all time.
However, in 2016, an investigation revealed that because global warming has caused the ice sheet covering Camp Century
to melt, the facility may be unearthed by the end of the century, maybe sooner.

If and when that happens, any waste—radioactive or otherwise—that’s uncovered along with the base could wind up disrupting
the surrounding ecosystems—a wholly unintended consequence of a top-secret Cold War plot...'

And not a word from Ms. Ocasio-Cortez or any of her squad about the possible eco-damage from this facility. It's like the whole
political-outrage theatre we hear every day is just that... theatre!

Areas like Camp Century are for grown-up things and grown-up people. Defence of a nation isn't something that worries about
dolphins and feelings. Yes, possible spillage of dangerous chemicals is a concern, but it can be fixed.
The concerns at the time of the Cold War were more important then.

The Squad of 4, the Lunatic Left would Go CRAZY if they knew of this old facility.
Some how they would find away to Blame Trump!
