Flooding Nuclear Plant in Omaha "Notification of an Unusual Event..."
http://www.kmtv.com/story/14850579/oppd-declares-notification-of-unusual-event-at-the-fort-calhoun-nuclear-power-station

'Fort Calhoun, NE - OPPD declares notification of unusual event at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Station.

In a news release, OPPD says quote, "notification of unusual event indicates events are in process or have occurred which indicate potential impacts to the plant."

It's important to note the reactor remains shut down for re-fueling and is not a threat to neighbors.

We're also told in the news release, "no release of radioactive material" has happened or is expected.

Currently OPPD is using sandbags, temporary dams and water pumps to hold the Missouri River back. As we saw first hand today, the flood already on plant property, is just getting higher.'
