1 Neb. nuclear plant on Missouri River lifts alert - Nation - Wire - BradentonHerald.com: "Workers meanwhile were pumping floodwater from behind a new barrier installed around the Fort Calhoun plant by the Omaha Public Power District. The new 8-foot-tall, water-filled barrier replaced a similar one that failed last month after a worker inadvertently punctured it with a bobcat.
Both public power district officials and federal regulators have said Fort Calhoun remains safe even without the additional barrier, noting that all the key areas of the plant stayed dry inside even as floodwaters surrounded the outside of the plant's main complex."
