Haliburton @ The Three Mile Island Nuclear Incident

Haliburton has been coming out from under the rock it's been hiding under. Haliburton seems to be at all the big spills or accidents. This is a company that is shrouded in secret contracts and the recipients of government bids Which secure the companies future in times when the economy is broken.

The Three Mile Island nuclear plant incident took place on march 28th, 1979 at 4am. A pilot operated relief valve (PORV) was the culprit, however the incident was compounded when the engineers failed to notice large amounts of cooling fluids were being leaked from their number 2 reactor. This brought the USA closer than they had ever been to a full nuclear meltdown.

One of the companies charged with the task of containing and cleaning up the incident were Haliburton. This further shows Haliburtons position with the USA's Government. Although this company stays out of the limelight they sure do sit well with government. It also makes us realize Haliburton has been with us at least 32 years.

Should Haliburton be given these contracts with out any bidding? How can a company so shadowed be able to get such great government contracts? These are just a few questions to ask yourself. Remember the average Employee of haliburton is just happy to be working. It's not the fault of those directly involved on the work site persay, but the big wigs at haliburton are most definitely washed up and I would like to use the term mobbed up as the government seems to work exactly like the mobs of the early days of American crime. They only use companies or associations which directly put money in to their friends pockets.


This picture was taken from a NatGeoTV.com video depicting the events of the Three mile island incident.
There was no real mention of Haliburtons involvement with Three mile Island, However I am inclined to make the assumption that they were definitely involved to some degree.
