South Dakota Dam Set to Burst, 370 miles north of Fort Calhoun + UPDATES

30 07 2011

South Dakota Dam Set To Burst Officials Warn

There is the potential for disaster as rising flood waters threaten to burst the White Lake Dam in Marshall County, SD.

Emergency Management Officials fear that the dam might burst after pieces of the structure have already been swept away by the powerful floodwaters.

Local officials expect a total loss of the dam. . .   (more)

UPDATE, July 31

 We cannot find ANY updates on the status of this dam.  Something fishy there!

The S.D. paper “Capital Journal” has some live stats on flood waters.

They are pumping water out so they can do repairs.

Rains test White Lake Dam

. . . .  Mary Clawson – SD Game, Fish and Parks: “Less than half a foot peeled away. Probably a good three feet of concrete and re-bar it is very safe we are going to fix it as quick as we can.”
South Dakota officials are monitoring the integrity of the dam and say it looks worse than it is. There are plans to patch up the dam, but not until the level and pressure decreases. . . .

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. . . .

Unstated PROBLEMS at Fort Calhoun Nuke Plant

29 06 2011

From EX-SKF:

Fort Calhoun Nuke Plant: Borated Water in Reactor, Spent Fuel Pool, Normal Procedure, Says Plant CEO

Bits and pieces about the Fort Calhoun Nuke Plant in Nebraska:

They are using boric acid in the reactor and the spent fuel pool (CNN);

The “waterproof” turns out to be “aqua dams” and levees in front of the buildings that house key systems (CNN);

Spent fuel dry casks are outside the flood protected area “because they are sealed and bolted down” (Iowa Independent);

2/3 of the active fuel rods are still inside the reactor

Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant Underwater- References of 10 Mile Mandatory Evacuation Area Scrubbed From News Sites

The head of the NRC toured the Fort Calhoun Nuclear plant which is now underwater. A 10 mile evacuation around the plant has been ordered, but all references of the evacuation have been scrubbed from online news sites. . . .  (has PHOTOS, features and Arnie Gunderson talking about Ft. Calhoun)

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
