An emergency evacuation has been ordered for those living in the Missouri River Basin, including all of Atchison County west of Interstate 29. Landgdon, Watson, Phelps City, and Nishnabotna should evacuate. “This is a large breach and water will be moving rapidly. Persons should stay out of this area if previously evacuated due to danger,” Atchison County Emergency Management said in a statement. Call 911 if you need emergency assistance. Those needing shelter are asked to call (660) 744-6308 for the shelter's location.

The Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant in eastern Nebraska, on the disappearing banks of the flooding Missouri River, has been at a Level Four emergency since early June, and the mainstream media is mysteriously quiet about it.

Except for local Omaha TV coverage, little has been reported, and the mainstream continues to minimize this story. An electrical fire in the basement on June 6 caused evacuation of the plant, and a large section was rendered inaccessible because of poisonous gases being emitted.

The next day, the rising river waters caused the plant’s basement to flood. Outspoken Arnie Gundersen, a nuclear engineer with long experience in containment, is warning of the perils and is particularly concerned about the possibility of a dam breaking and the complete wipeout of the plant.

He testified last year before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards on the potential of disasters spreading radioactive material far and wide. Considerable amounts of toxic waste have been accidentally spilled into the Missouri River in recent days, and the water (already surrounding the building) is expected to rise another five feet this summer.
