Re: Cooper Nuclear Station in Nebraska is operating AT FULL CAPACITY..partial levee breach three miles upriver
I assume the AquaDams at Ft. Calhoun are also being used at Cooper NPS..
(pics via Cryptome.org)

The Missouri River is experiencing extreme seasonal flooding and one reactor in Nebraska is now at a lower elevation than the water level of the river it abuts while a second reactor in the state is barely on dry ground. The Omaha energy utility that operates the first reactor has as its first and greatest line of defense against the rising water a several-foot high barrier called AquaDam, which is currently keeping water at bay. The problem with the focus of the energy utility, the mainstream media and even most activists is that they are focused on rising river water as a flooding threat while neglecting the possibility of mass destruction posed by a raging major river on structures in, on or along the river.

When we are talking about the flooding of a major river that drains a major river basin, it is flow - or 'discharge' (which increases almost exponentially with each foot of vertical rise near the probable maximum flood level) that will bring the earliest destructive forces upon the plant and its barriers. Although the AquaDam 'wall' (which is the main barrier keeping at bay one or two feet of water from flooding the Ft. Calhoun Station) is eight-feet tall, the 'dam' will fail well before water nears spillage over its top.* At the height of spillage - a river surface elevation of 1,012 feet - the patented plastic-dam would be surrounded by raging waters flowing at around 1 million cubic feet per second (cfs) (see graph below). At pressures even significantly less than this AquaDam would either tip over from excessive 'lateral forces' or it would be destroyed by punctures by tree-trunks, metal objects and other debris. While the water-filled tubular barrier certainly would be suitable to protect a nuclear power plant located at a distant floodplain location of a river, the Ft. Calhoun site is situated virtually on the banks of the rising Missouri River and is on the vulnerable bank of a river turn - the plastic dam will provide no protection when river discharges at the reactor site become significantly worse. The U.S Army Corps of Engineers has predicted for decades that a worse case flood could sink the Ft. Calhoun nuclear reactor site under 10 feet of flowing water - that would be a river height of 1,014 feet above sea level. The Missouri River wouldn't 'flow' at that point - it would be more of a vicious aquatic monster sending actually 1,200,000 cubic feet per second along the fasting flowing parts and destroying just about anything in its path - this is about the mean annual discharge of the mouth of the Congo River in Africa. (1 million cubic feet per second, what is what concrete and some earth dams are built to hold back, would fill an oil tanker, like the Exxon Valdez, in a matter of seconds. A plastic barrier would be no match for that current.)

from the article..

Incredibly, large volumes of the oldest radioactive waste materials of the Atomic Age were dumped at West Lake landfill in Bridgeton in 1973. From every conceivable viewpoint, the situation is deplorable. Radwaste does not belong in the most populous county in Missouri, near the Missouri River, upstream of several water intakes and within 1.5 miles of Interstates 70 and 270.

hmm interesting that they would name adjacent landmarks "Earth City"

My concern at both nuclear plants is the electrical control room. One plant already had a fire in theirs that shut off cooling to the SFP. Water + electrical cables = shorts & fire. That is what happened with Fukushima tsunami and can happen here. Does not matter if offsite power is ok, or back-up generators work, or emergency batteries work. If the electrical controls short out, there is no way they can keep the reactors and SFPs cool.

TARGET FT CALHOON NUKE PLANT???!

We identified the 'Dam Explosion' Threat in the 7/7 Warning Video, but we did not have intel on which dam would be chosen to begin this cascade catastrophe. Now we know for certain that the Gavin Point Dam has been wired for demolition in anticipation of a deliberate 'staged event' that will begin the domino effect of breaking levies and dams to create the biggest catastrophic event in US history. These monsters are deliberately piling all of this water on the central USA and the Mississippi River Valley to assist the ELEnin Dwarf Star in the liquification process that will see a large inland gulf formed from Louisiana to the Great Lakes.

Here's a couple of posts from my other thread about this..the NRC Chairman 'supposedly' visited Cooper on Sunday..when he gives a specific elevation in the video it is garbled..when I first heard it he CLEARLY said 960'

Thread: COOPER NUCLEAR STATION HIT BY FLASH FLOOD??? LATEST: DHS CLAIMS "VIOLENT EXTREMISTS HAVE, IN FACT, OBTAINED INSIDER POSITIONS" (Page 5)

Why is the NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko waiting untill Monday to visit the nuclear plants?????


He and the whole wrecking crew should get in boat and go there now!!!!

guess we'll just have to wait and see

Here is the video (from Cooper on Sunday..he visits Ft. Calhoun today) and of course everything is dry..see that ..nothing to worry about yawn

 Quoting: RTS


RTS, please listen again to this inspector guy. He says the plant can handle 960 ft. Of flood water. Well, at least that's what I'm hearing. I need you or anyone to listen again. I apologize as my eyesight is too poor to post correctly or to see where he says that, but please listen .
Also, thanks for all your hard work along with all the other posters contributing so much.

I just re-listened to this guy, check it out.... He did say this plant is built to withstand higher floods than most ... He said up 960. Holy SHITE!!!!
Somebody please listen to this inspector guy and tell me it ain't so!!!

(this might be the smoking gun? btw..I used your quotes off the other thread and my response for this post:)

he's not an inspector he's the chairman of the NRC!

and yup you're right about the elevation discrepancy I was just looking at a topo map and for the most part the elevation surrounding the plant is 890 ft.

I'd say a 70 ft. mistake in elevation is fishy to say the least

maybe this is a earlier interview taken at a different plant?

(snip)

So far, most levees have held along the 811 miles the Missouri travels from the last dam at Gavins Point in South Dakota to its confluence with the Mississippi River near St. Louis. The flooding thus far has covered more than 560,000 acres of mostly rural land, including nearly 447,000 acres of farmland. The water has forced some evacuations, but the extent of the damage to may not be clear until it recedes.

That's not expected to happen until the fall as the Army Corps of Engineers says it needs to continue releasing substantial amounts of water from upstream reservoirs inundated with heavy spring rains and melt from an above average Rocky Mountain snowpack.

The Corps predicts that the river will eventually rise high enough to flow over some 18 to 70 levees, mostly in rural areas of southeast Nebraska, southwest Iowa and Missouri. Other levees will become saturated, and water can erode their foundations, seep underneath or find other flaws to exploit.

(snip)

Omaha's main floodwall, for instance, is built to contain a river 40 feet deep — which is 4 feet higher than the river is expected to reach. But several of the rural levees in northwest Missouri are more than 2 feet shorter than the river's expected crest, and some have already been exceeded.

Even stronger urban floodwalls and levees can falter against the destructive force of floodwaters. As a precaution, officials in Omaha and across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa, have developed plans to evacuate roughly 40,000 people from areas near the river in case a levee fails.
