Nuclear agency head to visit flooded Nebraska reactors
Due to a news blackout of this story it is very difficult for me to verify any new news coming out about the power plant. If you live in Nebraska or any other surrounding aria that is effected by the nuclear plant please take an active role and do your own reporting of this story. You can make a You tube acct and post the video. Post your video link in the comments and if it is good, I will carry it as a story on this blog. Newsworldwide.wordpress.com gets allot of traffic and linking to your youtube video will increase your views considerably and will be more than likely be carried on other news sites.

(Reuters) - The chair of the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission will arrive in Nebraska Sunday to monitor preparations against Missouri River flooding at two Nebraska nuclear power plants, officials said Friday.
NRC Chair Gregory Jaczko will visit the Cooper Nuclear Station south of Omaha Sunday and the Fort Calhoun plant north of Omaha Monday, said agency spokesman Victor Dricks.
During both visits, Jaczko will also be talking with NRC resident inspectors– the agency staff who work on-site every day — and plant officials, Dricks said.
Flood water up to 2-feet deep is standing on the site of the 478-megawatt Fort Calhoun plant, operated by the Omaha Public Power District, the NRC said Wednesday.
The utility has erected a water-filled berm around vital areas of the plant — which shut in early April to refuel — to protect the containment building and auxiliary buildings from up to six feet of water.
Heavy rains and snow melt have flooded the Missouri River valley, threatening towns from Montana to Missouri.
An NRC inspection at Fort Calhoun two years ago indicated deficiencies in the flood preparation area, which have now been remedied, the agency said.
The rising river is not expected to reach vital equipment at the 800-megawatt Cooper plant, located near Brownville, Nebraska and operated by the Nebraska Public Power District, the NRC said. Cooper is running at full power.
During the Fort Calhoun stop, the chairman will meet first with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials, then take a helicopter tour along the Missouri River to provide an overview of the flooding and measures being taken. Following the plant visit he will meet with executives of the utility.
“Both plants remain under the ‘unusual event’ declarations, the lowest of four levels of emergency notification,” Dricks said. “We are maintaining close communications with the National Weather Service and the Army Corps of Engineers.”
Fort Calhoun will stay shut down until the water recedes, Dricks said..

thanks a lot for the blog post ive really been on the lookout for this specific information on the internet for sum time right now hence thank you
Not the longest post, but then again my Lighting Blog site hasn’t a blog per say either, and a rubbish theme – Great post anyway, added your XML feed! Cheers
Even though there is a no fly zone is is possible to use Google Earth, or some technology similar to it, to get updated images of the nuclear reactor?
Someone must be able to do a workaround!
If you know how, please teach me or send me to a link which teaches how and I will get the images!
There is no law against such attempts, as long as it is not gotten from government agencies illegally!
