Nebraska Nuke Plants Flooded – UPDATE

2 08 2011

Media Blackout on Nuclear Incident at Fort Calhoun in Nebraska

 . . . . In addition to the flooding that has occured on the banks of the Missouri River at Fort Calhoun, the Cooper Nuclear Facility in Brownville, Nebraska may also be threatened by the rising flood waters. As was declared at Fort Calhoun on June 7th, another “Notification of Unusual Event” was declared at Cooper Nuclear Station on June 20th. This notification was issued because the Missouri River’s water level reached an alarming 42.5 feet. Apparently, Cooper Station is advising that it is unable to discharge sludge into the Missouri River due to flooding, and therefore “overtopped” its sludge pond. . . .   (more + video)

[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

Fort Calhoun Nuke Plant Latest: The Missouri River is now expected to rise 2 feet higher at Blair, Neb., than experts predicted previously

9 07 2011

From the Omaha World Herald today –  (Blair is home of the flooded Ft. Calhoun nuclear plant) – – –

Blair update: The Missouri River is now expected to rise 2 feet higher at Blair, Neb., than experts predicted previously. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it revised its prediction for the river near Blair because of new information it received about how fast the water is moving at that point. The Corps now says the river will rise to between 32 and 34 feet next week after releases from Gavins Point Dam increase to 150,000 cubic feet per second. The river at Blair was already at 30.16 feet Friday. That’s well above the flood stage of 26.5 feet. The Corps says the gauge at Blair doesn’t collect data on the flow rate, so a team was sent out to collect that. This adjustment doesn’t affect other locations on the river.

Levee breached again: A third partial breach of a levee south of Hamburg, Iowa, has been plugged. Mike Crecelius, emergency management director for Fremont County, said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spotted the breach Thursday morning.

Fukushima Spews, Los Alamos Burns, Vermont Rages and We’ve Almost Lost Nebraska

from Huffington Post

By Harvey Wasserman

Humankind is now threatened by the simultaneous implosion, explosion, incineration, courtroom contempt and drowning of its most lethal industry.

We know only two things for certain: worse is yet to come, and those in charge are lying about it — at least to the extent of what they actually know, which is nowhere near enough.

Indeed, the assurances from the nuke power industry continue to flow like the floodwaters now swamping the Missouri Valley heartland. . .  (more)

Is The Mainstream Media Covering Up The Truth At Los Alamos, Ft. Calhoun And Fukushima?

1 07 2011

Japan, (Pal Telegraph) – What in the world is really going on at Los Alamos, Ft. Calhoun and Fukushima? There are millions of Americans that would like the truth about what is happening at these nuclear facilities, but the mainstream media has been strangely quiet. Instead, the mainstream media is running headlines such as “10 Dirtiest U.S. Beaches Named” and “Pole Dance Stops Times Square Cold”. Yes, those are actually headlines that appeared on the front pages of major mainstream news websites in the United States today. Sadly, you really have to dig to find anything about the problems that are currently happening at nuclear facilities in the United States, and the mainstream media seems to have gotten really tired of talking about Fukushima. It is almost as if the mainstream media actually prefers to talk about mindless things rather than focus on the truly important events that are happening all around us.

Look, most of us are not nuclear experts, but when one of our nuclear plants is completely surrounded by flood waters and another one is being seriously threatened by a raging wildfire we have a right to be concerned.

Sadly, the coverage by the mainstream media has been so sparse that the majority of Americans don’t even know that there are problems at Los Alamos and Ft. Calhoun. Most Americans also don’t understand how serious the Fukushima disaster really is. . .  (more)

Lies, Damn Lies, and Safe Nuclear Power

by Stephen Lendman

In any form, nuclear power is inherently unsafe. For decades, nuclear expert Helen Caldicott warned it must be abandoned, saying:
“As a physician, I contend that nuclear technology threatens life on our planet with extinction. If present trends continue, the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink will soon be contaminated with enough radioactive pollutants to pose a potential health hazard far greater than any plague humanity has ever experienced.” . . .  (more)

Google Censors US Nuke Disaster News! SHAME!

30 06 2011

COMMENTARY:

Even with stories worldwide on the vunerable Nebraska nuke plants and an out of control wildfire literally across the street from the largest nuke weapons lab in the USA Google is offering scant ‘headlines’ in the tens and not thousands on the topics.

There is OBVIOUS censorship going on with search engines concerning US nuke news.

ALSO – it is notable that on leading newspaper and news media websites lead stories on these disasters have zero ‘comments’.  There is no notification that comments are disabled. The commercial, nuke-friendly web is shamelessly censoring discourse and news about these breaking news stories.

Shame on Google.

And shame on the news biz!
