Fukushima in Nebraska? Raging Flood Waters Threaten Nuclear Catastrophe

Once again, the corporate media is ignoring a potentially deadly nuclear situation, this time right here in the United States.
The Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant in Nebraska is now inundated with flood water from the Missouri River. A berm protecting the plant collapsed on Sunday. Prior to the failure of the berm, there was a fire at the facility. The official story was that the fire was contained in an electrical switchgear room.
Corporate media ignoring dangerous potential of Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant.
The plant serves as the storage site for 20 years worth of spent fuel rods from plants in the state in addition to one third of the rods that were removed during a recent refueling. In 2006, the site began storing spent fuel rods above ground in mausoleum-like concrete structures outside the nuclear plant. Omaha Public Power says the spent fuels rods will be stored on-site forever.
In addition, in 2009, the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant was considered an alternative fuel rod storage site to Yucca Mountain in Nevada. In 2010, Congress failed to fund Yucca Mountain after more than $9 billion was squandered building concrete tunnels and chambers designed to keep waste safe for at least a million years.
Officials at the Nebraska plant insist the fuels rods are safe. “There is no water inside the plant. The reactor is covered with borated water. The spent fuel is covered with borated water, which we want it to be. That’s intentional. That’s where it should be. The floodwaters are outside Fort Calhoun, not inside,” Gary Gates, CEO of the Fort Calhoun plant, told CNN.
Gates did not address the very distinct possibility that the plant may soon be completely overwhelmed by water from the Missouri River. Due to an unprecedented amount of flood water, the failure of an upstream dam at Fort Peck Dam could lead to a domino-like collapse of five earthen downstream dams, swamp the nuclear power plant, and knock out the generators now used to cool the fuel rods.

“The Fort Peck Dam is built with a flawed design that has suffered a well-known fate for this type of dam — liquefaction — in which saturated soil loses its stability,” Bernard Shanks wrote on June 7. “Hydraulic-fill dams are prone to almost instant collapse from stress or earthquakes. California required all hydraulic-fill dams be torn out or rebuilt — and no other large dams have been built this way since.”
Can we trust nuclear power officials to tell us the truth? The Fukushima disaster was worsened considerably by the cover-ups and lies of government and industry officials. Should we expect the same here in the United States?

Is wisdom a thing of the past? Isn’t funny how society has been taught to look down on the elderly. When many of our elders are the ones we should look up to, and learn for their life experiences which frees Humanity from ignorance. Wisdom past on from generation to generation perfecting higher and higher states of wisdom. This was how it was suppose to be leading Humanity to ever perfected wisdom, but no we destroy the wisdom of our elders leading us to regress into the sea of ignorance.
Ascend into the astral to connect with the river of infinite wisdom, it holds the wisdom of everything that is and ever shall be.

9/11 was a surprise
Gulf of Mexico was a surprise
Fukushima was a surprise
Expect a surprise. Calhoun is in cold shutdown and a distraction = NOT a Surprise!
An staged upriver dam break flooding Cooper would be a surprise and it’s running at full speed!
Divide and conquer is their MO!
Be prepare to evacuate East of the Mississippi from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
Get West or go South to avoid the fallout.
What else would be a surprise?
Be Prepare not scared.

Good Luck, God Bless and Godspeed to All.
was “built for such a situation”, etc. The HELL of it is
YOU CAN’T TRUST THESE SUCKERS IF THEY SAY THE SUN WILL RISE
IN THE MORNING.
Their history of flagrant BOLD FACED LYING makes us assume that
WHATEVER THEY SAY THE OPPOSITE WILL BE THE ACTUAL TRUTH.
CREDO is a leftist fake environmental group that uses the environment to push for a new telecom company which will make some business people billions but yet they blame Dick Cheney for frackin due to an EPA waiver but Democrats like Lisa Perez Jackson of New Orleans and Obama are over the EPA and this EPA has never been worse.
During the BP Oil Spill, we saw the EPA allow BP to use cancer causing chemicals while Obama attended a party for La Raza and why did this BP oil spill, the most dangerous & largest spill in history happen when Democrats were in charge of the MMS, House, Senate and White House?
Liberals and their wall street owned media propaganda are twisted and sick. All these people want to do is destroy the planet, wage wars and smile in your face with triple talk as they do about their deeds.
If you don’t belive me you can also get FREE ELECTRICITY using
a 100yr old TESAL device…

TSA, FBI, CIA DO NOT WANT YOU TO WATCH THE VIDEO PROOF ABOVE!
Besides, Tesla technology could put a lot of power in into the hands of very some unstable ruthless people. In other words, it could be used to power incredible weapons; consequently, it would either empower civilization or destroy it. Because of this, and if the technological actually exists (I believe it does), I’m not sure it’s a good idea to release such technology.
Just my 2 cents; keep the change!

I would not feel secure in a 40 year old submarine if extreme stresses were put upon it. This is my concern and I feel that it is a legitimate one. I don’t trust these power companies to not cut corners when it comes to safety and maintenance. How are we to know that they didn’t “fudge” their maintenance reports in order to save a few bucks?
Hopefully you are correct and this is nothing but a tempest in a teapot.
Uh…I don’t know where Nimmo’s living, but this story is all over the MSM news. If you read an article posted here on Infowars (yesterday) titled, “Berm Protecting Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant Breaks … Plant Flooded, on Emergency Diesel Generators”, you will find links to articles on Reuters, CNN and the Wall Street Journal. If that’s not MSM, I don’t know what is. You can also find articles on FOX; and even my local NBC news covered it this morning.
But I’m thinking about my dad this morning. This is a man who use to take me fishing, to the movies every weekend, a vet, and a hard workng splicer who retired from Pac Bell.
I want to dedicate a song to him…
