HE RIVER STAGE ON THE MISSOURI RIVER AT BROWNVILLE HAS SURPASSED
THE RECORD FLOOD CREST THAT WAS SET IN THE 1993 FLOOD WHICH WAS 44.3
FEET. THE RIVER AT BROWNVILLE CURRENTLY IS AROUND 44.4 FEET...
SETTING A NEW RECORD AROUND 830 AM SUNDAY MORNING JUNE 19. RELEASES FROM
GAVINS POINT DAM IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA HAVE REACHED 150 KCFS AND ARE
FORECAST TO REMAIN AT THIS LEVEL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.

what was the tipping point number???

Storms are coming!!!!!

They are setting up to be very very violent. and will be running along the Missouri at their max.

Watch for the numbers to go up by 1-2 feet...

There's no more sand. They've used it all and taking any more from the river will make it unstable. Even if the levees hold, the shortage of sand to reinforce them means it's just a matter of time now:

One thing that I am not sure is fully figured into the river water height projections is that in days of old before the river was straightened there was a LOT more terrain for the river to spread out and to release slowly from before it hit these downriver locations.

With the "channeling" that has been done to the Missouri River (it is now 200+ miles shorter than it was in 1900) a HIGHER percentage of the water going downriver is going to be utilizing the river channel itself and trying to do it all at once. For any given watershed drainage of X amount of drainage (in acre feet) then the river WILL RUN HIGHER today than it would have done in days of old.

Look for the PROJECTED river forecast levels to be UNDERSTATED when it comes to maximum flood height throughout this flood situation.

how does it matter if a nuclear plant is shut down or not? the radioactive fuels are there anyway. And they need cooling a long time even after shut down.

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

i find it funny how everyone thinks the medias lying and that the locals are lying about it not being too terrible. guess what, we're not lying, we're here, and see it, we k now whats going on, the only ones freaking out are the fear mongers on ATS and GLP. you people might actually want to start listening to the ones that are here and actually experiencing this. not everybodies a liar, but there are quite a few who want to blow this thing up.

Of course if one of the huge storage dams upstream in the Dakotas or Montana (which are overflowing now) break, it would be like a tsunami all the way down to the Mississippi River. One big dam breakage would break all the dams below that one.

Fort Calhoun has six high power lines feeding it - some coming off of a high hill adjacent that comes into the plant at a high angle (hence the no fly zone). Any one of those lines intact will fully power the cooling pools (per the press report in Council Bluffs IA newspaper). They also have generators and onsite fuel to last longer than a month. As to water they have several systems including sophisticated (flood proof) giant sandbags and a "water dam" that could hold back twice the current flood level. So baring a tsunami from a dam break all is well - IMO. They got their asses handed to them a year ago on the flood preps they had so they had been working on it all year - very providential. Don't believe all of the spin out in the blogosphere - I drive by the plant on my way into work every day and live downwind of the plant and have rad detectors - everything has been normal so far.

yes an when the water comes to the top of the windows, they have specially trained divers to operate the plant

thank you for your cooperation

(snip)

Meanwhile, in Nebraska, the flooding alert issued by the Nebraska Public Power District for the Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownville, Neb., didn't stop the plant from operating at full capacity Sunday. The Fort Calhoun Station, another nuclear plant along the Missouri River in eastern Nebraska, issued a similar alert June 6. That plant near Blair, Neb., has been shut down since April and will not be reactivated until the flooding subsides.
(scroll to bottom of the article)

Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) is a boiling water reactor (BWR) type nuclear power plant located on a 1,251-acre (5.1 km²) site near Brownville, Nebraska. It is the largest single-unit electrical generator in Nebraska.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

from another thread..

The Brownville levee is reported to be dangerously close to breaking. Sandbagging efforts have been abandoned. One wonders how such a break would affect Cooper Nuclear just three miles downstream.
