I am seeing zero reporting on this "ANYWHERE".

Noori mentioned this at the beginning of Coast to Coast, but no details.

Yes, I heard that and cued in, I googled “calhoun nuclear”.

Apparently there was a fire there JUNE 08 (!) and one would think this would be splattered everywhere by our trusty “Oh Noez!” media by now, no? Esp in light of Fukushima.

They restore cooling to the spent fuel pool in short order.

Two articles on this linked page:

“Containment building flooded at Nebraska nuke plant in order to cool fuel rods”

‘80 miles from Nebraska nuclear plant: “Sandbags provide no protection from water coming from underground”

This will scroll farther down the page as new news comes in at the top so you may have to read down the page to find it later.

A couple years ago I was at Indiantown Airport when 6 sheriffs vehicles showeed up asking what I was doing.
I told them and asked why?
They said some baboso was flying circles around the Saint Lucie Nuclear Power plants coming very very close.
They sent out cops to every airport around to get him.
1000 feet above clearence is needed.

Right after 9/11, the FAA put out the word prohibiting private pilots from over-flying nuclear power plants, and the Department of Energy removed from their web site the location of all the nuclear power plants. The result was that pilots had no idea whether or not they were violating the law.

Yes, I know. Your government at work. A true Atlas Shrugged moment.

“Containment building flooded at Nebraska nuke plant in order to cool fuel rods” - a very misleading statement.

When a nuclear plant is refueled (about every 18 months), the refueling canal in the containment is flooded to allow transfer of the fuel to and from the reactor vessel and the spent fuel pool. The water cools the fuel during transfer and provides shielding from the radiation.

So, yes, a portion of the containment was flooded, just like it is at every plant.

No Fly Zone Over Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant Due to “Hazards”

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction over the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant until further notice due to “Hazards”. This would normally be a precautionary measure after an electrical fire disabled cooling for the spent fuel rod pool as outlined below. The question is why is this still in effect?

As reported previously, this facility is surrounded by sand bags as the Missouri River rises.

I imagine the thought of an airplane hitting a row of sandbags and flooding the facility is more worrisome than the mosquito-on-a-windshield scenario of one hitting all that concrete in the containment dome.

March 31, 2011 - “Fort Calhoun’s nuclear power plant is one of three reactors across the country that federal regulators said they are most concerned about.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials said Fort Calhoun’s reactor is operating safely, but it’s still on the shortlist because they want to make sure it’s prepared to handle major emergencies, like flooding.

Last year, federal regulators questioned the station’s flood protection protocol. NRC officials said they felt the Omaha Public Power District should do more than sandbagging in the event of major flooding along the Missouri river.”

And totally surrounded by floodwaters, with a recent fire, just like all other nuke plants.

Obviously anyone concerned is a nutcase paranoid freak Luddite.

I like to take visitors for flights around where I live and along the beach is a favorite.
I’ve gone over and around the St. Lucie Nuke plant but keep a very safe distance.
Always feel a little uneasy when near one as I think they have guys armed with stingers just in case and when humans are involved things often get screwed up

The cited statement is misleading. Someone is intentionally attempting to sow panic by claiming that a routine and planned evolution (flooding the refueling canal) is evidence of some mishap.

Everything’s fine, I’m sure.

Fires and floods are fine, too.

And no nuke plant companies or guvs ever ever lie to people.

Perish the thought!
