Flood hit Cooper Station nuke plant now cut off from roads

12 07 2011

[snip] . . . . Waters over Missouri Highway 45 in Weston, Mo., and U.S. Highway 136 in Brownville, Neb., have blocked roads going into Kansas City Power & Light’s Iatan power plant and Cooper Nuclear Station, respectively. Not stopping workers, the companies have resorted to boating and area housing so employees can continue their jobs. . . . http://www.newspressnow.com/news/28505038/detail.html

Enviro Group Calls for Daily Updates on Nebraska Nuke Plant Floodings + More

30 06 2011

A leading environmental group is calling on the Omaha Public Power District and the Army Corp of Engineers to intensify the pro-active publication of all information regarding two flood-threatened Nebraska nuclear plants at Fort Calhoun and Cooper Nuclear Station. . . .

Water Water Everywhere, but Nebraskashima is A-OK

The media blackout is finally kaput. Tuesday was the day that Ft Calhoun finally made the evening news and not just local TV, conspiracy or leftnut websites or NHK that were already giving Ft Calhoun equal billing with Fukushima as the Next Great Thing That Could Go OMG, along with the Los Alamos fire. . . .

( we LOVE the new word “Nebraskashima” ) 

From the timid Omaha news biz:

What if dam breaks?

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is asking for an explanation of the flooding that would occur should a dam break upstream of two Nebraska nuclear plants it monitors.

Combined, the six U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dams on the flood-swollen Missouri River comprise one of the largest reservoir systems in the country. The dams are releasing historic amounts of water during what will be a summer of managed flooding in the Missouri River valley.

On Wednesday, the NRC regional office that oversees Nebraska sent an official request to the corps for its 2009 and 2010 analyses of what would happen if a dam fails.

Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station, 19 miles north of Omaha, has been taken offline because of the flooding. The river surrounds the plant to a depth of about two feet.

About 70 miles south of Omaha, Cooper Nuclear Station remains online. On Thursday, the river was about three feet below the level that would require the plant to shut down. . . .

Flood Water at “Critical Levels” at Cooper Nuclear Station

28 06 2011

[snip] “. . . .  Cooper Nuclear Station, is on higher ground and continues to operate. However, reports said the station is close to shutting down because flood water had reached critical levels. . . . “

http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/90052753?Missouri%20River%20flood%20water%20threatens%20Nebraska%20nuclear%20power%20plants 

NOTE:  When they say “reports said” they mean “press release issued by the plant operator’s PR team“. – F.C. 

 It is easy to dissect current nuke-plants-are-safe propoganda so prevalent now. Here’s a portion of a CNN account:

“. . . .  The Nebraska plant, located along the swollen Missouri River, is currently surrounded by about two feet of water. The facility, designed to withstand at least eight more feet of water, is reportedly dry inside, shut down and not thought to be in any immediate danger. . . . “

Let’s count the LIES: 

two feet of water  

a LOT more water than 2 feet – it is stop-sign high and rising

eight more feet 

It’s 3 feet from CORE DAMAGE and CATASTROPHE according to the NRC documents

reportedly

substitute “reportedly” to “according to nuke facility press release

dry inside

LIE. The turbine area has water seeping in it

shut down

even offline it takes most of a year to cool down fuel rods . . . the rods are not ‘shut down’ but super heated

immediate danger

there is immediate danger of:

power loss, backup power loss, backup fuel loss, turbine area flood out, meltdown, spent fuel meltdown, radioactive water release, flood defense failure, cooling failure due to flood, cooling failure due to power loss

Complications as Cooper nuclear station refuels

By Fred Knapp, NET News

May 2nd, 2011

Lincoln, NE – A problem with emergency equipment at Nebraska’s Cooper Nuclear Station is adding to the cost of a refueling shutdown there. The trouble comes just a few weeks after three workers were exposed to radiation at the nuclear plant, after workers failed to follow proper procedure in early April.

Cooper Nuclear Station, owned by the Nebraska Public Power District, is located on the Missouri River just outside the southeast Nebraska town of Brownville. The plant was taken offline March 13 for a routine refueling operation. Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokeswoman Lara Uselding said last week, a problem was discovered during an equipment test. NPPD spokeswoman Jeanne Schieffer explains.

“We discovered there was an issue with a voltage regulator,” she said. “So we started looking further into what might be causing the problem with that voltage regulator. And it’s on one of two emergency diesel generators that we have.” . . .  (more)
