Nebraska Nuclear Plant at Level 4 Alert!!

[daithi]

they should learn to control nuclear power better

 

[sparky]

Just notification, no alerts, no warnings, no evacuations. Just procedure.

yup, but keep in mind it's the very same GE mark 5 reactor as f*ckoshima, the very same one that GE engineers quit in protest over, and the very same one the union od concernen scientists condemned

But the difference is the lack of a 40ft wall of water with less than an hours warning.

They are experiencing river flooding, something far more predictable.

Oh yeah, I forgot. THE REACTOR IS OFF.

Also since Fukishima every nuke plant has probably been going over thier facilities for the exact situation that hit Japan.

oh?
is it time to yell 'h*llova job Brownie' atop the local plant Marty?

Edited-Meister This is an actual current event that can turn catastrophic as it did in Japan"!

Containment building flooded at Nebraska nuke plant in order to cool fuel rods
From the air the nuclear plant looks like it is about to be swallowed up by the Missouri River but on the ground you can see that man is controlling nature, or at least keeping her in check.
Jeff Hanson says, “We’re protected far above where this is projected to go.

The facility was taken offline to refuel earlier this year so the containment building has been flooded by OPPD in order to cool the fuel rods.

Um no, it cannot.

The main cause of raiation in japan was from the release of gases to releive pressure, coupled with a meltdown of 3 of the reactors. Here the reactors are OFF.

and from what I have read (cant find link for some reason) the measures taken and the notice to the NRCB was due to a 2 degree increase in the cooling pool.

Just notification, no alerts, no warnings, no evacuations. Just procedure.

If the cooling water in a pool is lost, the used nuclear fuel could catch fire and release radiation. Also, is making the area a no fly zone standard procedure? NOT! Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant is an island, but authorities are hoping it stays dry? Hmmm, looks to me as there is some concern, eh? But, you continue waiting for corporate media to finally admit there is a problem there and by that time you may be just glowing in the dark.

Airspace Over Flooded Nebraska Nuclear Power Plant Still Closed

And yet not one word from corporate media as usual!

A fire in an electrical switch room on Tuesday briefly knocked out cooling for a pool holding spent nuclear fuel at the Fort Calhoun nuclear plant outside Omaha, Neb., plant officials said.

The safety of deep pools used to store used radioactive fuel at nuclear plants has been an issue since the accident at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant in March. If the cooling water in a pool is lost, the used nuclear fuel could catch fire and release radiation.

As ProPublica reported earlier, fire safety is a continuing concern at the country's 104 commercial reactors, as is the volume of spent fuel piling up at plants.

Officials at Fort Calhoun said the situation at their plant came nowhere near to Fukushima's. They said it would have taken 88 hours for the heat produced by the fuel to boil away the cooling water.

Workers restored cooling in about 90 minutes, and plant officials said the temperature in the pool only increased by two degrees.

The fire, reported at 9:30 a.m., led to the loss of electrical power for the system that circulates cooling water through the spent fuel pool, according to a report from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. A chemical fire suppression system discharged, and the plant's fire brigade cleared smoke from the room and reported that the fire was out at 10:20 a.m., the NRC said.

Mike Jones, a spokesman for the plant's owner, the Omaha Public Power District, said Fort Calhoun has a backup pump to provide water to the spent fuel in case the main system is lost. That pump, which runs on a separate power supply from the rest of the plant, was inspected and standing by on Tuesday, but plant operators restored main power to the pool before the emergency pump was needed, he said.

Fort Calhoun's single reactor has been shut down since April for refueling. The plant had already been operating under a heightened level of alert because of nearby flooding on the Missouri River, the NRC said. The cause of the fire remained under investigation this morning.

What's having the reactors off have to do with anything when the concern is the spent fuel rods? I didn't know there were so many nuclear physicist on this board. No matter what subject is talked about here, everyone all the sudden becomes an expert at it.

So are you saying the fuel rods aren't radioactive?

"So, someone builds a nuclear power plant at the bend of a river that floods every single year. And despite prior problems with flooding, nobody wants to spend the money to start putting key equipment up on risers or towers. And now the power station is starting to flood, and as was the case with the Fukushima sea wall, money was saved by building flood barriers at the legally required minimum. While the reactor itself was shut down for re-fueling, a fire broke out in the electrical system and cooling was lost for the spent fuel rod cooling pool, the same problem now plaguing Fukushima's building #4. Yes, the Power Plant is saying there has been no release of radiation, but that was the same song we heard from TEPCO at the start. The FAA has declared a no-fly zone for two miles around the plant because of "hazard.""--M.Rivero

Leave it to the king of the truthtards to scamper off to his conspiratard site to get the "REAL" scoop! Yes, folks! Regardless of what is said, Nebraska is going to end up like Fukushima! Except it was only the primary systems that failed for a short period of time, the coolant never reached unsafe levels, and backup systems were never needed. Oh.... and there were no explosions or containment breaches. Hmmm. Seems to me the only thing Fukushima and the Nebraska site share is the fact they are nuclear power plants.

Leave it to the rabidly paranoid to pretend everything is a massive emergency and coverup!

So the world is not coming to an end?

Well I have not heard any prophecies about the world ending in June 2011 but I think its supposed to next year. Of course if it ends no one will be around to remember it!

Believe me, America will end first before the rest of the world

How? You and your "revolutionary" buddies?

Bring it.

Im saying you people are going apeshit over a 2 degree increase in coolant temperature.

This is not like japan, there is adequate power and ability to bring additional water in. Nebraska did not suffer a Top 10 earthquake followed by a 40ft wall of water 1 hour later.

I also have a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering, which means unless you have a degree in physics or a Nuclear Engineering degree I am probably more qualifed to respond on this than you are.

The flooding is what is concerning residents, or maybe you didn't even watch the video and what was said by newscrews, and Gunderson, and expert on the topic of nuclear power.
As for being overly paranoid, you are the conspiracy nutcase who thinks the truth movement is trying to take over the government

"Instead of being a patriot standing up for what you believe is right, you lie your sorry ass off trying to get people to overthrow the government.

"Yet instead of fighting what is wrong in government, you make up bullshit and try to foment rebellion."

You're a fucking joke and a hypocritical nutcase, who has NO credibility, and a proven liar, so STFU, the people in NE. have a legitimate concern.

 

[whitehall]

Why is this in the conspiracy forum? A level 4 is the lowest classification and denotes "notification of unusual event".

Awww, isn't that cute! The little bitch got his panties in a twist because someone dared to expose his fearmongering! Your pathetic attempts at deflection aren't going to work, shitbag.

So tell us again how the Nebraska short term outage that didn't even kick in the backup systems is like what happened at Fukushima where all systems failed for weeks! Then tell us how Nebraska is about to get worse!

Tell us again how there is radiation being leaked because they said no radiation was being leaked and they said the same thing at Fukushima!

Tell us again how a 20' tsunami surge is the same as the Missouri river being higher than normal.

You're such a fucking retard liar that I'm starting to believe you actually believe your own bullshit! Was there anything else you wanted people to start panicking over due to your paranoid delusions?

A second nuclear power plant in Nebraska is being threatened by rising floodwaters, but the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a federal watchdog agency, says the plant's owners are taking the appropriate steps to ward off danger, according to a report in the Omaha World-Herald.

WOW! Doesn't this just knock your socks off, dvinman?

Nebraska nuclear plant managers answer rumors Jun 16, 2011

Since then, the rumors flooding the Internet about the situation reached the level where the plant managers had to set the record straight.

The first rumor claimed that the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station near Omaha is at a Level 4 alert. Managers say that is false. They say there was an unusual event alert issued last week when the fire broke out. However, that is the least serious of any emergency classification.

Why is this in the conspiracy forum? A level 4 is the lowest classification and denotes "notification of unusual event".

Because it's not at a level 4 as some suggest.
