Cooper Nuclear Station in Nebraska is operating AT FULL CAPACITY..partial levee breach three miles upriver

Well that is one hell of a coincidence.

(snip)

The Cooper Nuclear Power Plant has had a history of problems for several years; never quite up to snuff for standards. This next linking article describes a problem in 2010 with a "refusal to cooperate." [link to crisisjones.wordpress.com] "

“An NRC Information Notice subsequently issued nearly a year later (NRC IN-94-27) indicated that below grade rooms in the reactor and turbine buildings had extensive leakage with rising water levels. The notice stated that 'the floor drain system had backed up so that standing water from within areas known to be radiologically contaminated had migrated out into designated clean areas.'1 The NRC inspectors noted that plant personnel 'had not established measures to divert the water away from important components.' For example, water levels rising inside the reactor building impinged on electrical cables and equipment such as the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) pump room causing the circuitry to ground out."

yea I noticed the 'coincidences' but what struck me the most is the million year flood claim..

Saying that.. the similarities are very odd

Heard from my RR buddy that the levee has blown! Not sure if this is going to affect the plant, but he's keeping me updated on whether the rail line gets taken out.

Your so full of shit , Every one of you SHILLS Have the same story , that you live right next to it , the levels are fine and the flooding is ok, YOUR FULL OF SHIT , We have video and satelite proof that shows other wise , as well as threadings from rad net showing levels higher than anywhere in the country . IF YOU HAVE RAD READINGS , POST THEM , LABEL IT RAD READING OF NEBRASKA NUCLEAR PLANTS , We will waiting SHILL !!

its will be a total Fuck-US-shit max ..

Arnie Gunderson has recently said that "they" (TPTB) put nuclear power plants near waterways because the plants require massive amounts of water.

Below is a map of Cooper Nuclear Station in Brownville, Nebraska

dams are being opened, may send more water south.

Sorry, that was not the link I wanted (me bad).


Here is it...

Japan was just a test to see how long it takes for shit to happen...now that they know the time frame they cant work out a SHTF gameplan..

My point is that it is the same type of plant and how odd that the folks from these same two plants were chosen to assist with Fukishima and now these two plants are in danger of the flood waters and power issues.


Yes, I took your point on that as well. As I read the article I thought it an extremely odd coincidence that the two US plants in trouble were the ones sending help to Fukushima. But I saw that the article was posted on March 15, well before the flooding, and wrote it off as just that, a coincidence.


Well that is one hell of a coincidence.


It is less of a coincidence if one buys into the idea that weather modification of some sort had a hand in the "million year" floodwaters putting pressure on all the dams and levees in the area.

funny, i started a thread on this yesterday....hmmmmmmm

The last news said the nuke plant operators had an 'open' budget to get whatever they needed to defend against any flooding. They did not need the usual RFQ requisitions for emergency items. Mmmmmm... donuts?

Brownsville Ne levee breach -Cooper Nuclear Plant

Foolish though it is, they do it on purpose so they can use flowing water to cool the rods.

Standard practice.

The Brownville plant is currently producing 30% of the power for the area because the Calhoun plant had been shut down for refueling, and the Fort Calhoun plant is completely surrounded by water. The two nuclear plants augment production from the coal plants that produce a majority of power for the region. [link to www.time.com]

The coal plants. Here is a picture of one of the coal plants sitting next to the river. Locals here can look at this picture and tell you that this plant is surrounded by water for now. For some reason, there has been very little reported about the coal plants despite the fact that they are facing the same type of flooding.
[link to www.sourcewatch.org] (coal plant before the flooding) Two of the coal plants that produce fuel for the Omaha area sit right next to the river. The area surrounding these coal plants are completely flooded. Parks nearby are closed as well as nearby roads. Two weeks ago on a sunday drive to view the rising water we were told by an employee in the coal plant that people were being sent home due to flooding. What’s interesting is that if you google information about flooding and the coal plants, there are no stories. Zero to report. If you find one, share it please. Here is the oppd website refuting rumors and calming fears about the nuclear plant but no mention is made of the production levels for the coal plants. [link to www.oppd.com]

so that would include the "great" flood of Noah?

looks like this is the year of the 1,000-year flood.

K - I will take a photo outside my window - perhaps down at town hall so you know I am where I say I am - jeeze - take a chill pill. Since when aren't we allowed to have opinions. I am not a shill, genius.

We are in the Tribulation.

No one said it was going to be fun.



.

Think you're very rude!

Hold on. AP says we're safe. They said the water is ebbing away. But is still only 1 foot under the plant shut down level.

phewwww

I worked in diesel power plants 9 years as either operator or foreman. It is almost a sure bet that the fuel tanks are underground so that the fuel does not get too cold in winter. My concern would be water getting into the fuel tanks. Happens a lot.

TWC is expecting tornadoes and possible 4 inch hail for E Nebraska this afternoon..they are really making a big deal of it

Torcon is a 8 (8 out of 10 chance of a tornado)

the last time the Torcon was this high was Joplin I think

edit to add:

I couldn't get the TWC link to work for some reason so here is a NWS map...
