The Fort Calhoun, Nebraska, Nuclear power plant is going down fast due to massive flooding.

The NRC has declared it a level 4 accident.

The FAA has issued the following directive, shutting down airspace over the plant:

Declaration at Cooper Nuclear Station
As the Missouri River rises, the Nebraska Public Power District has declared a “Notification of Unusual Event” for the Cooper Nuclear Station. The notification was made at 4:02am Sunday. It is part of the safety and emergency preparedness plan that the station follows when certain flooding conditions are present.

NPPD says there is no threat to plant employees or the general public. The plant continues to operate safely. The Omaha Public Power District made the same declaration nearly two weeks ago when the Missouri River continued to rise near the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station.

NPPD says its plans dictate that when the Missouri River’s water level reaches 42.5 feet, or greater than 899 feet above sea level, the notification of an unusual event is declared. 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, the plant would be taken offline as a protective safety measure.

A Notification of Unusual Event is the lowest and least serious of four emergency classifications established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for nuclear power plants.

The Cooper Nuclear Station is three miles southeast of Brownville, Nebraska along the Missouri River.

Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant: Radioactive Plume Projections Released For the CONUS

Looks as is there is more to this whole situation with the Garrison Dam (now at over 103% capacity according to documents obtained by our sources) and the mandatory evacuation of Minot North Dakota put in place by FEMA.

Troop, equipment, and other strange movements have taken place throughout the CONUS over the past week as The Intel Hub and The Power Hour has documented with photos, videos, and TIPs from good citizens.

This is all taking place during massive full scale military exercises — not good.

Over 56 NOTAM’s with a lot of suspicious VIP movements have be put in effect over the last two weeks (this is not normal).

The following is a simulation for a radioactive plume being released from the Nebraska Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant:

Missouri River crests, breaking records of 1993 floods
By MATT PEARCE
The Kansas City Star

The Missouri River hit historic highs around northwest Missouri on Wednesday as officials prepared to unleash even more water into the area.

National Weather Service measurements taken near Big Lake and Phelps City, both about two hours northwest of Kansas City, showed crests beating every mark on record — even 1993’s peaks.

“Missouri River water will remain dangerously high for the foreseeable future,” said Col. Anthony Hoffman of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Kansas City office.

Residents in Holt County in northwest Missouri are already facing advancing floodwaters, which have defeated at least one levee there and are nearing the tops of others.

Meanwhile, Army Corps officials slowly opened up the Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota to release even more water downstream into the Missouri River to relieve overwhelmed reservoirs in northern states.

Gavins Point is expected to release 160,000 cubic feet of water per second starting today.
