Looks as if there is no News black out Google has several thousand feeds It seems that the reactors were already shut down for routines. The hazard is the cooling ponds that contain the spent fuel have lost power to pumps As the event occurred on the 7th of June I'm surprised it hasn't hit the headiness before the info is there?

No Over flying
Standard practice in UK NO OVER FLYING of Nuclear site at any time

PS @PecosRiverM
The Reactors are not the hazard currently . The loss of power to the cooling pond is. Its similar to the Japanese event there is a huge amount of heat that needs to be removed.

A few of us became concerned when the news was not reporting an electrical fire in the Ft Calhoun NPP. The news did break but we feel that it is less than what is needed because the water flows through multiple urban and rural areas after it leaves the plant.
Also, why was the local evacuation only called after we sent out a national request for call to NEMA?
@densnaps THIS IS THE SAME NUCLEAR REACTOR AS THE ONES AT FUKUSHIMA, the same GE model.

I dont understand the reason for the local Evacuation order if there was no escape of material Maybe just as a precaution

without knowing exact details of the plant .
the water that flows from the plant should be safe. It will not have had contact with radio active material .Main cooling water source from rivers or sea, condenses steam from that has driven the Turbine generators Via a Heat exchanger . Any other cooling of nuclear components will also be via heat exchangers .
The water after it has passed through the plant will have had no measurable change other than a rise in temperature

Terms that are used in these events by the media are misleading, Radiation is only able to affect the population if you can see the source just like light from a light bulb protection from Radiation is by three things shielding if you cant see it there is a barrier your safe, distance the further you are away from the source the safer you are or time the smaller time exposed the least damage . Contamination is an escape of radio active material due to damage to the fuel from the reactor this can be airborne from explosions not nuclear explosion but in the Japanese event it was an hydrogen explosion
Communities close to UK power plants are issued with Potassium Iodate tablets to be taken in the case of a reactor incident.these protect against radio active Iodine that gathers in the thyroid . they load the thyroid and you cant take the nasty stuff on board

There is a world body that looks at Nuclear events called Wano

You also have a National body in the United States see this link

PSS The Neclear Regulatory Commitee (US) is sending an inspection team out to monitor the situation 24 hrs a day. I think that is about what is called for in light of the world wide distrust of nuclear operators. (No Offense to Nuclear Engineers, I mean in the corporate sense)
Have a good weekend all.
