Absolutely nothing on any other media source. I emailed the news desk at KLKN and asked them to verify their story.

Interesting story: Ft. Calhoun is excess power capacity in NE. There is a heat wave in the region right now. They are telling people how they are buying power from other areas to make up for Calhoun's shut down. Yesterday people were pointing out that TEPCO was playing games with capacity to make it look like there was a shortage without the NPP's. www.omaha.com

@lillymunster people were doing the sums on the 'power shortages' this morning in Japan it was a really fun tweet watch as they demolised each one

7 of tepcos sfp's at kk plant sloshed radioactive water during the '07 eartquake and yet daiichi was 'safe' without modifying theirs that is an oddity www.jnes.go.jp

@Elaine Kirk Is there somewhere that compiled all of that together? It would make a good news post.

Email back from the TV station in Lincoln, NE that ran the story about the evacuation. Email below:

Hi Nancy,
To answer your question, there is no evacuation in the Fort Calhoun nuclear plant area. The information was incorrect and we corrected it on our news yesterday, (June 28th). The 10-mile evacuation has not taken place, it is only a plan by the NRC should conditions become critical at the plant.

Thanks,

I found the source of the 3% containment number for the Las Conchas fire:
From a local's blog account of the news conference - finfamnm.blogspot.com
The 3% containment is from a backburn along lab property.
...
During the conference, the fire chief interrupted to say the fire on the ski hill had jumped the break at Camp May road, trapping a group of firemen. He left, but called in to say everyone got out safely. But they are really fighting on the ski hill right now, so pray!

Progress in cooling Fukushima Daiichi spent fuel

The operator of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant appears to be making progress in its work to stabilize the facility's spent fuel rods. Tokyo Electric Power Company says a new cooling system for the No.3 reactor's spent fuel storage pool should be functional in a week.

The March 11th accident crippled the cooling mechanisms that control reactors No.1 through No.4 and their storage pools. TEPCO has been working to install systems that will cool and circulate water inside the pools.

The utility maintains it restored full and stable cooling functions at the No.2 reactor's pool in late May.

Work to install a cooling system was completed at the No.3 reactor on Wednesday. A test-run is scheduled for Thursday.

But TEPCO hasn't been as successful with the No.4 reactor's spent fuel pool. A hydrogen explosion in March damaged water pipes that are connected to it. The company is reviewing its installation plan.

Workers entered the 5th floor of the No.4 reactor building on Wednesday for the first time since the explosion to see if other pipes can be used instead.

TEPCO hopes the work to install all of the spent fuel cooling systems will wrap up by the end of July. But it expects the problems with the No.4 reactor could make meeting that deadline a challenge.

But best of all, the health writer at Fox News calling for increased government scrutiny and regulation of the food supply!! www.foxnews.com
by bo 6/29/2011 11:58:12 PM

From the Fox article: "Though California is somewhat on the ball regarding testing for radiation in foods, other states appear to be asleep at the switch with this issue."
by bo 6/30/2011 12:01:28 AM

Livermore Lab: "Some 89 percent of the funds are for nuclear weapons activities. Yet, more than 89 percent of the press releases showcase programs like renewable energy and science that receive less than 3 percent of the spending. This has caused many to believe that Livermore Lab is converting from nuclear weapons to civilian science."

@bo Good to hear Fox is saying something about the food issue, here is another article: www.wellwise.org Part I appeared in the food industry trade association site.
