Missouri River Flood Waters Rise on Two Nebraska Nuclear Plants

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is closely watching conditions along the Missouri River where floodwaters are rising at Cooper Nuclear Station and the Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant in Nebraska.

Unusual Event declarations remain in effect at both plants, the lowest of four levels of emergency notification. NRC officials are maintaining close contact with the National Weather Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and both plants.
