Nebraska Nuclear "Situation:" Less Worries By Almost Half, And Yet..

I've been a tad bit concerned about developments along the Missouri River in neighboring Nebraska regarding the safety of both Ft. Calhoun Nuclear Plant near Omaha, and Cooper Nuclear Plant, near Brownsville. 

Washington's Blog is cautiously optimistic about Fort Calhoun, at least at the moment.

Dr. Tom Burnett has a more pessimistic view..

And then there's Cooper Nuclear Plant's own set of problems..

And then, there's the related Worst Case Scenario that turns these two nuclear plants into Worst Case Scenarios of their(and our) own./  So if Fort Peck Dam collapses, the recipe for Apocalypse involves massive radioactive release/dispersal, and catastrophic flooding of biblical proportions.

Enjoy your summer.  Party hard, and don't forget to update your bug out bag..
