Let me post this bit in toto, from the www.nrc.gov report on Ft. Calhoun:
"During identification and evaluation of flood barriers, unsealed through wall penetrations in the outside wall of the intake, auxiliary and chemistry and radiation protection buildings were identified that are below the licensing basis flood elevation. A summary of the root causes included: a weak procedure revision process; insufficient oversight of work activities associated with external flood matters; ineffective identification, evaluation and resolution of performance deficiencies related to external flooding; and "safe as is" mindsets relative to external flooding events."

As a result of a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted from January 1 to June 21, 2010, the NRC determined that Fort Calhoun Station (FCS) did not have adequate procedures to protect the intake structure and auxiliary building against external flooding events. Specifically, contrary to Technical Specification 5.8.1.a, the station failed to maintain procedures for combating a significant flood as recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, section 6.w, "Acts of Nature."

There is a supplemental report to be filed by August 30th 2011 to update the situation as reported."

That should prove interesting. ;)

I saw it earlier on here, but it bears repeating.

@ red. Good idea. I hope so too as every post I make here apparently has to first go through a mod delay!:(

@Peter Melzer I'd laugh, but I bet you're telling the truth.

It always comes back to Arnie's line, "Nuclear Power Plant and sandbags should never be used in the same sentence."

@lillymunster Mind-boggling ineptitude. They're all in collusion on it.

Oh, while in Google Earth I checked the elevations. Normal river level 991 ft. Ground level at the reactor, 1001 ft. Projected flood: 1004 ft.

That white tank is RIGHT on the bank of the Missouri River.
