Flooding - waters on the rise at Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant Nebraska 2011

Flood waters continue to rise in many areas of the US Midwest, which has prompted officials at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant near Omaha, Neb., to declare an unidentified "Notification of Unusual Event." According to reports, flood waters have already reached the plant, and the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) is allegedly working to remediate the unknown, low-level emergency.

CBS 3 News in Omaha reports that OPPD has issued a news release stating that a "notification of unusual event indicates events are in process or have occurred which indicate potential impact to the plant." The vague release goes on to claim that "no release of radioactive material" has occurred, or is expected to occur, because the plant has been in a safe shutdown mode for several months for refueling purposes.

However, the district has not provided any further details to the public about what exactly has occurred at the plant. Though its announcement is considered a "low-level emergency," officials at the plant have stated that it will remain in effect until it is known for sure that flood waters in the Missouri River remain below the 1,004-foot level. However, the US Army Corps of Engineers expects the river to reach, and possibly exceed, that level in the near future.

And just one day after the OPPD announcement, a fire alert was set off in the same plant when an electrical console apparently overheated and began to emit smoke. Forbes reports that the affected system is responsible for cooling spent nuclear fuel rods, and that it was offline for about an hour while emergency crews worked to fix it.

Officials are currently conducting an investigation into the cause of the overheating. If flood waters or some other event damage the system further and it goes offline again, cooling pools at the plant could run dry and cause a potential meltdown situation. The incident represents the first alert the Fort Calhoun plant has had since 1992.

Thank God there is a news station left to actually do some real journalism! Most media have become nothing but repeaters of offical information handed to them from scumbag organizations.

There is more spent fuel rods there than the one in Japan

very dangerous situation there

@TeslaTechnologyRocks But is it ours, the Russians or Chinese Haarps...or is there a difference as to who actually controls them... I do believe you are right. It appears that it was used on Japan as well .

@robert77793 yeah those cards and USA next bad omens

The US is now under attack by what is called "Tesla Scalar Weapons" and if you Google it then you will find hundreds of informative links.

This video was made approx 8-10 days after the June 6th fire at Fort Calhoun they stated that another 5' of water was expected. Later, either days or weeks they mentioned that more than only another 5' of water was expected...I do not have a date on that video.

When Minot was evacuated, they stated that another 8' of water would be coming out of Canada (June 20 - 23) into the Missouri. And this is before the snow on any of the Mountains really starts melting. And its still raining...

Japan's are shutdown yet still are melting

@MasterGamerZone The irony, no?

[ZOEYMine]

The heavy water chamber that actually holds the rods is what is cooled by river water and it is enclosed with river water pumped around it. The problem in Japan was that the reactor chamber was open when the tsunami hit and sea water flooded the actual chamber. The rods are continually submerged for cooling, but the water actually contacting the rods is quite different from the cooling water from the river.

@MasterGamerZone I had that same thought in my facebook to my local scared friends.. glad to find someone else thinks like I do.. it would be so costly.. but where do they get the water to put out these fires down there when it is in drought??

I believe these people you are talking about only want to wake everyone up. If the hand full of people that are awake now attempted to do some of the things they suggest, they would not stand a chance against the Government. They believe with the correct numbers they can achieve their goals. These people are awake to the NWO coming but are not awake in the word of God. Personally I believe it will end in the deaths of many as they enact the NWO before the end of this age predicted in the bible.
