Flood Berm Collapses At Nebraska Nuclear Plant

Posted by timothy on from the sky-falling-river-rising dept.

mdsolar writes "A berm holding the flooded Missouri River back from a Nebraska nuclear power station collapsed early Sunday, but federal regulators said they were monitoring the situation and there was no danger. The Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station shut down in early April for refueling, and there is no water inside the plant, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said. Also, the river is not expected to rise higher than the level the plant was designed to handle. NRC spokesman Victor Dricks said the plant remains safe."

    Contradicting official statements are these employee-made videos of flood levels at the plant.

    If you get the prompt:

    The answer/password is:

    It shows up in the CPS main memory if you search "password" with winhex and page down about 1

    I recall reading of at least one plant worker that died due to radiation exposure.

    Misinformation does not help the cause of nuclear power.
