Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant Flooded
Posted by Target on 6/25/2011, 4:36 pm
I hear the flood water may stay around the plant until August. What do you think they will do with contaminated flood water when the water level recedes?

The Fort Calhoun nuclear generation plant in Nebraska has a no fly zone over it. It may have exposed spent nuclear fuel now or plumes of steam that officials do not want shown on TV.

I don't think sandbags will keep flood waters from entering the spent fuel pools. I hear the spent fuel cooling pump caught fire 2 weeks ago and is on the lower level.

They may be essentially dumping nuclear waste into muddy flood water. This could save the power plant from having to manage nuclear waste. It may increase cancers down river and make some farm land unusable.

'[...] there is a no-fly zone around the plant.  Workers are being brought in by helicopter and boat - to the roof and to SECOND STORY windows - maybe third story by tomorrow.'

'The Cooper nuclear plant can't discharge sludge and it's partially submerged just like Fort Calhoun. We don't require any special knowledge to grasp what is going on.  The plants have windows and doors and control rooms and pumps and heat exchangers and expended fuel pools.  And they are all going underwater - but not like Fukushima where the water washed in and washed out.  This is just going to get worse through August.'

While I agree that the current US nuclear power plants are too dangerous to use today, I actually support the use of Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors, or LFTR reactors:
