• Airspace Over Flooded Nebraska Nuclear Power Plant Still Closed

アメリカが史上稀な洪水に見舞われていることは何度か書いたが、なんとミゾーリー川の洪水でネブラスカの原発の電源が止まり、冷却機能を喪失。そのためレベル4の緊急事態に立ち至っている。

"On June 6, 2011, the Fort Calhoun pressurized water nuclear reactor 20 miles north of Omaha, Nebraska entered emergency status due to imminent flooding from the Missouri River. A day later, there was an electrical fire requiring plant evacuation.

Then, on June 8th, NRC event reports confirmed the fire resulted in the loss of cooling for the reactor's spent fuel pool. The discussion includes specific details of the technical failures at Fort Calhoun, the risks of coolant loss at overcrowded "spent" fuel pools, and the national hazards of nuclear facilities along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and other water sites during the current period of floods and climate change."
