Google english translation of German article about media blackout about Ft. Calhoun Nuclear plant cooling crisis now (6/21/2011) probably occurring in Omaha, Nebraska.

" The IPPNW criticized that even two weeks after the start of the incident, neither the U.S. nor the German government authorities inform the public adequately. "It's always the same phenomenon that industry and government do everything it can to hide and downplay such incidents," said Paulitz. "States and nuclear industries are too much into each other involved, so that reason alone is already the necessary protection of the population does not guarantee a sufficient degree. The fact that nuclear power plants worldwide are threatened by high water levels of rivers at any time, occupied the uncontrollability of this technique. How many accidents and near accidents have you actually need to finally draw the necessary consequences? "

I hate living in Omaha right now.

Interesting, this article claims all the plants "are ready for flooding events".

Then this article speaks of a "Notification of Unusual Event". BUT - they ALWAYS do that when there is flooding in the area. The flooding reached a critical level, and the plant considered a shut down.

None of the local papers, large or small, speak of any problems with the nuke plants, or any evacuations, or even a declaration of emergency, which would then put FEMA in charge.

So, yeah. Germany knows about Omaha Nebraska?
