    crippled Nebraska Nuclear Plant
    Anyone got any better news on this. Have a friend living in Omaha he is out on contact

    This report further notes that the “cover-up” of this nuclear disaster by President Obama is being based on his “fantasy” of creating so-called green jobs which he (strangely) includes nuclear power into as his efforts to bankrupt the US coal industry proceed at a record breaking pace.
    Unknown to the American people about Obama’s “war” on the US coal industry is it’s estimated to cost them over a 60% increase in their electricity bills by 2014 and cause over 250,000 jobs to be lost in an already beleaguered economy.
    More ominous for those American people whose lives depend on the coal industry that is being deliberately destroyed is the Obama regime’s massive “security exercise” currently ongoing in the major coal mining States of Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, and as we can read about, in part, as reported by InfoWars.Com:
    “If you’re still living under the delusion that the TSA is just restricted to airports then think again. A joint VIPR “security exercise” involving military personnel has Transportation Security Administration workers covering 5,000 miles and three states, illustrating once again how the TSA is turning into a literal occupying army for domestic repression in America.
    The TSA, in alliance with a whole host of federal, state, local agencies as well as military personnel, is currently conducting a massive “security exercise” throughout Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.
    “The participating teams are composed of a variety of TSA assets including federal air marshals, canine teams, inspectors and bomb appraisal officers. They will be joined by state and local law enforcement officials to supplement existing resources, provide detection and response capabilities. The exercise will utilize multiple airborne assets, including Blackhawk helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as well as waterborne and surface teams,” reports the Marietta Times.
    Although the exercise is couched in serious rhetoric about preparedness, it relates to “no specific threat” and the details are nebulous to say the least and seems to revolve around little else than testing out high-tech surveillance equipment and reminding Americans who their bosses are.”
    Obama’s fears of the American people turning against nuclear power, should its true dangers be known, appear to be valid as both Germany and Italy (whose people, unlike the Americans, have been told the truth) have turned against it after the disaster in Japan and vowed to close all of their atomic plants.
    Perhaps even more sadly for the American people is this report stating that the Obama regime is “walking in lockstep” with Japan in their attempts to keep the truth of nuclear accidents from their citizens; which in the case of the Japanese can only be labeled as horrific as new evidence points to them knowing within hours of the Great Tsunami that their atomic reactors had melted down, but have only today ordered an evacuation of pregnant women from what are called “radiation hotspots.”
    With a country that some scientists are now warning may soon become uninhabitable due to radiation damage, and with reports of mutant rabbits and radioactive whales now being reported, one wonders if in knowing the truth the American people would really want to follow Japan’s “example” instead of those people in Germany and Italy?
    But, with an already documented 35% increase in the infant mortality rate for American mothers living in the western coastal regions of the US caused by radiation blowing onto them from Japan being ignored by these people there doesn’t seem to be much hope for them. (The EU Times)

    "Nebraska nuclear reactor dry though surrounded by flood"

    This is deadly serious, Fukushima exploded because it went dry because of the water pumps cutting out in the flood and running the reactors dry. Looks like the same is just about to happen here.

    but the plant itself has not flooded and is expected to remain safe

    Plus the article was written on Friday, and the plant has been shut down since April.

    What? When the report says the reactor is dry though surrounded by a flood means that the floodwaters have not encroached on the reactor building, not that the cooling ponds have run out of water.

    Its the same thing as saying my house is dry because it is not flooded, but it doesn't mean that the water main has been turned off.

    Read the article you linked. By "dry" they mean "not flooded", not that the cooling towers are running out of water.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,570 ✭✭✭Elmidena


    Is that poster wining (drinking), whining (complaining) or winning (Sheehaning)? Genuine question.


    Couldn't bring myself to read the OP so went to the newspaper article directly, and my eyes thanked me for it (hint, OP go up and hit edit then hit enter a few times in the blocks of texts so new visitors won't have a tl;dr mentality)

    The situation does sound serious, but with the sources being from known opposition to the States, I wonder if it's some sort of conspiracy to mar the US jubilation at the death of bin Laden. But that wouldn't explain the no-fly-zone rules enforced. They've hushed up on the daily nuclear releases in Japan, and I wonder how much would come out of the plant if they too had to resort to nearby water to bail them out, and wonder the overall impact on the environment if the radiation gets out.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 593 ✭✭✭DERICKOO



    OK get ready for it.

    Cooper Nuclear Station, an electric power plant in southeast Nebraska, declared a "Notification of Unusual Event" this morning at 4:02 a. m. The declaration was anticipated throughout Saturday by the power plant's operators, who closely tracked the river's steady increase in elevation due to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' releases from dams upstream.

    The notification was made as part of safety and emergency preparedness plan the station follows when flooding conditions are in effect. The plan's procedures dictate when the Missouri River's water level reaches 42.5 feet, or greater than 899 feet above sea level, a notification of unusual event is declared.

    Is your mate in the states? International mobiles can be troublesome. Mine are hit or miss when I am in Eire.

    I am in the states right now and would be more than willing to try and contact them for you. PM me if you like.

    Have you emailed them?

    There is no way the gov't could shut down a 35% rise in IM since the time of this Japanese disaster. It's just silly.

    As for Omaha, again silliness. Every high school Physics and Chem teacher with a Geiger counter in a hundred mile radius would have alerted us long ago.

    I love a good CT - kind of like Harry Potter for grown ups. However, they should be a bit better than this.

    There was flooding in Nebraska and as per standard safety procedure once the flooding reached a certain level around the nuclear power plant there they shut it down and registered an 'unusual event', floods being unusual.

    Then Obama got some of his socialist scumbag friends to take to the skies in black helicopters fitted with cloaking devices to disrupt all communication between Nebraska and the rest of the world. Turning the whole state into a radiation addled prison camp where zombies battle ninja vampires by night and Kurt Russel patrols the streets by day with only his trusty Alsatian dog and a 12 gauge shot gun to rely on.

    article here from Omaha news, fridays edition.

    http://www.omaha.com/article/20110617/NEWS01/706179913

    they say not to worry.

    however, other problems at the plant and some of the flood precautions themselves have unnerved people:
    >>A fire at the outset of flooding temporarily disrupted power to the spent fuel pool.
    >>The nuclear station shifted to an alert status.
    >>Flights over the plant have been restricted.
    >>Fort Calhoun was and continues to be one of the NRC's most tightly monitored plants because of problems it had before the flooding.
    Dricks said the NRC has taken the unusual step of sending more inspectors and a branch chief to Fort Calhoun. A branch chief is a top regional regulator. In this case, it's the individual responsible for overseeing Fort Calhoun inspections and compliance.
    Also, OPPD is bringing in additional boats, food and water for employees, which is not a cause for alarm, Dricks said.
    “It's called prudence.”
