This is hoax. Here is what one reader said.
"Sir, I found your website while following the news about the flooding. Iâm a Nebraskan and aware with the Fort Calhoun plant. However, when I did some research, I found no record of a âlevel 4 emergency.â There is a level 1 alert, issued on 6/6, regarding the flooding. In response, the Omaha Public Power District built levees around the plant, which remains dry. There was also a level 2 alert, issued on 6/7, when an electrical fire caused a cooling pump to fail. According to the report, the fire was extinguished shortly thereafter and the pump was restored to working order. No contaminated water left the facility.
Furthermore, the plant isnât even running right now. It was shut down in April for refueling, and when the flooding started, OPPD decided to leave it idle until August.
Yes, I think these reports are accurate. Nebraska is not a populous state. Everyone here knows someone, and there have been no rumors of nuclear contamination. If something disastrous happened, OPPD could never keep a lid on it. Next time, please do some research first. If you are a scientist, then you should know how important it is to get your facts straight.
