FT. Calhoun Nuclear Plant, Missouri River, and Devastation Flyover

Swollen Missouri River spurs new evacuations


The Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant in eastern Nebraska, on the disappearing banks of the flooding Missouri River, has been at a Level Four emergency since early June, and the mainstream media is mysteriously quiet about it. Except for local Omaha TV coverage, little has been reported, and the mainstream continues to minimize this story

Outspoken Arnie Gundersen, a nuclear engineer with long experience in containment, is warning of the perils and is particularly concerned about the possibility of a dam breaking and the complete wipeout of the plant.

He testified last year before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards on the potential of disasters spreading radioactive material far and wide.

Considerable amounts of toxic waste have been accidentally spilled into the Missouri River in recent days, and the water (already surrounding the building) is expected to rise another five feet this summer.

Officials say there is no threat to plant employees or the general public, but locals are concerned that officials always say that. The Omaha Public Power District made the same declaration in late May, but now the situation has worsened significantly.


On June 19, plant officials declared a "Notification of Unusual Event," due to flood water levels of 42.5 feet or 899 feet above sea level. (The plant was built at 903 feet above mean sea level, which is 13 feet above the natural grade.) If the river's level increases to 900 feet above sea level, plant personnel will barricade internal doorways as another layer of protection for facility equipment. At 902 feet above sea level, the plant would be taken offline as a protective safety measure.


Radiation is still streaming from Japan's Fukushima disaster nearly four months after the disaster, and its owners have finally admitted that meltdowns indeed did occur, releasing deadly radioactivity that winds and ocean currents are spreading worldwide.


"They're lying," says Dr. Janette Sherman, a toxicologist and contributing editor of the book Chernobyl: The Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment.

Using medical data obtained between 1986 and 2004, its authors calculated that 985,000 people died worldwide from the radioactivity discharged from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Dr. Sherman says Fukushima will have just as big an impact.

Joseph Mangano, executive director of the Radiation and Public Health Project, added: "The absurd belief that no one will be harmed by Fukushima is perhaps the strongest evidence of the pattern of deception and denial by nuclear officials in industry and government."

You'd better google UN AGENDA 21 to see their plan to depopulate the American midwest. HAARP is being used to cause storms, to cause flooding, to cause nutricide (food prices rise) and also nuclear disaster. You'd better see the hundreds of videos from DUTCHSINSE channel (youtube) which shows clear cause from HAARP RINGS to tornadoes. Google also USAF "owning the weather by 2025" - either they are liars and don't own shit, or they are causing or allowing this disaster and others. Tell others

@Beesnchickens

you can see the readings per DUTCHSINSE on youtube

[chuck3377]

Nothing to see here, keep going to your shitty job and paying taxes and debt, dumb freedumb monkey.

[salvadory]

i appreciate these posts- info is great! im glad you didnt start fear mongering - which is often the case- its good to have access to local media reports- ! if it leaks well know - you cant hide radiation - japan proved it- too mny people are watching

[Beesnchickens]

Why has no one taken any radiation readings below the plants and posted them...somewhere?

[Lombokstrait1]

@jeffmoto72 your communication skills suck. get your point across clearly.

again. levels of radioactivity does MAKE a difference.

And I'm the dumb one?

look it doesn't matter, we have to vote against the nuke industry and close these things down. but we won't because the people in America are very easy to fool. so we are basically doomed.

[jeffmoto72]

@Lombokstrait1 Radioactive waste from a nuke plant in the water suppy will at the least give you cancer or likely kill you. What do you mean? Where am I coming from? Put two and two together, genius.

[Lombokstrait1]

@jeffmoto72 levels of radioactivity does make difference.

concentration doesn't make a difference, radioactive is radioactive? that statement sounds deceiveing.

Where are you coming from?

[jeffmoto72]

@Lombokstrait1 Just saying it wouldn't be totally off to call the water around it radioactive, concentration doesn't make a difference, radioactive is radioactive.

[Lombokstrait1]

@jeffmoto72 no kidding. it's all relative though, the concentration levels can be high or low. it's not going to be constant, it will vary... of course.

so what are you really saying?
