Breaking News.. Brownsville Levee Near Cooper Nuclear Plant in Nebraska Just Broke! Here We Go !!!!

.A top regulator said on Sunday that a nuclear power plant threatened by flooding from the swollen Missouri River was operating safely and according to standards.

Obviously lies because there's no mention of millions dead, the end of the world or Nibiru

Don't forget to add in NJ going into "hot shutdown".
This stuff must happening all the time and the MSM doesn't report on it.
But now they are very focused on it because the Japan crisis.
Seems like all these reactors are aging poorly.

NJ Reactor in Hot Shutdown

Actually, they ain't Just physically being wearied out, but it has hopelessly bad design. now, we got too hard climate to allow so dangerous facilities to be operated. i even don't speak of furioso droughts, which are more hazardous for plants than flooding.

Can someone tell me why they don't just blow up a levee or two on the opposite side to reduce the water level and divert some of the water away from the plants. I mean they have time to evacuate the area first and it beats a nuclear disaster. I am sure there would be allot of displaced persons and property damage but it beats the alternative.Can someone explain to me why this isn't an option anyone has mentioned. I am not familiar with the area but it seems to me that that would be the logical thing to do.

you could just build those levees a little lower and they automaticly devert the river at the shut down level, check river gauges it's going around cooper

So why aren't they doing it? Can anyone tell me.

And this:

The plant is located approximately here:



Looking at the areas that are indicated to have flooded, you will see a that there is a large volume of water downstream from the plant while there is an even larger volume of water upstream, with even more on the way.

The water down stream has to be evacuated before any more water from upstream arrives at the plant's location. Water won't flow upstream unless it's pumped.

The Fort Calhoun Nuclear Generating Station is a nuclear power plant located on 660 acres (270 ha) between Fort Calhoun, and Blair, Nebraska adjacent to the Missouri River. The utility has an easement for another 580 acres (230 ha) which is maintained in a natural state. The power plant is owned and operated by the Omaha Public Power District of Omaha, Nebraska.

emphasis mine

The river has created a valley, shallow though it may be, which means that the point where the plant is located is among the lowest elevation in it's region and with how widespread the flooding is the water just has no where to go.

Like I've said countless times, neither Chernobyl nor Fukushima were modern nuclear reactors and neither were up to safety standards. Both disasters could have been averted if proper safety measures had been taken.

How comforting. Especially to the families of all the children that died at Chernobyl from being out in the black rains, all the families of the people who die to leukemia and bone cancers and other cancers because of the "unfortunate mistakes" of this noble industry. Tell me, friend, when I breathe in my particle of plutonium from Fukushima, and get lung cancer in 2022, where is my legal recourse or recompense? How can I even prove what killed me let alone punish anyone for it?

Nuclear contamination -- the perfect murder.

Estimates are that up to 100,000 or more people died as a result of Chernobyl up till now. But between 1995 and 2005 in the US alone over 200,000 died from coal power plant emissions. New safety measures that were implemented after 2001 have reduced the losses by almost half, but it doesn't erase the stark numbers of people who have died over the past several decades. And god knows how many have died in China or elsewhere across the world!

You can't have your cake and eat it too without consequences. Nuclear power can be dangerous, it has outrageously expensive insurance costs (requires government intervetion to get companies to do it), and we're not altogether sure what to do with the waste. All true, and more. But don't ignore what's happening elsewhere! If you choose to ignore, there're consequences.

The same thing happens in politics. One side ignores the other. Consequences!

That's why politicians in cartoons are well fed. They have their cake and eat it too.

they've done it, but those actions are non-official because there ain't laid purposes to be cruelly sued for damages of the private areas

Sounds feasible they are still catching hell over what they did last year during the flood.

Has anyone heard anything new about this situation or the Los Alamos fire? I haven't been able to find any new information. How is it that these two game changing events are happening and it doesn't even get mentioned but I have three news outlet running Casey Anthony trial all day?

I just found this posted 7/1/2011 @ 4:24

theintelhub.com...

Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff Theulen said he was alerted Friday morning that the levee may have been in the process of being intentionally breached. About 20 minutes later, officials said they received calls from people wanting to know why levees were being blown up. One caller claimed to have witnessed the explosion.

At this time it doesn't appear that the Army Corps of Engineers or any other governmental entity was involved.

Source for the deaths from coal power plant emissions between 1995 and 2005 please.
Otherwise I call B.S.!

I work in a coal power plant and have for the last 10 years. If your bs made up statistics were true I and all my coworkers would be dead!

I will not argue that coal plants are good for the environment but they are not even remotely as bad as they are made out to be: and until we change our grid and move away from a load based electrical system we are stuck with coal. The sun doesn't shine all the time and the wind doesn't blow all the time.

It appears to be to the south east of Fort Calhoun so I would think that it would affect the plant but it's not something someone should do without consulting someone.
