Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant?

Earlier this month, workers at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant surrounded the reactor and other key parts of the facility with a massive water berm called an “AquaDam”.

Fort Calhoun had a foot-deep pool next to the reactor for spent fuel rods. The pool was so full in 2009 that they were sealing the fuel rods up in dry casks and sticking them in an on-site ‘mausoleum’.

This, of course, is why there is a no-fly zone around the plant — someone might realize that wherever the fuel casks and underground fuel pools are, they are NOT inside the condom.

Hat tip and a bow to Arthur Hu for finding the dry-storage bunker, half-submerged OUTSIDE the condom. It’s the smaller brown building adjacent to the white tank.

I would be curious to know why -- if this structure is what the author pretends it to be -- that the dike or a separate dike was not built around it. Do you think engineering just "forgot" about it. Do you think they couldn't afford to do it, do you think they couldn't figure out how to do it. Or is it possible that it is just an out-building.

Just wondering.

Sometimes waiting for Zebras is just a waste of time.
