Flood Berm Collapses At Nebraska Nuclear Plant 417
mdsolar writes "A berm holding the flooded Missouri River back from a Nebraska nuclear power station collapsed early Sunday, but federal regulators said they were monitoring the situation and there was no danger. The Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station shut down in early April for refueling, and there is no water inside the plant, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said. Also, the river is not expected to rise higher than the level the plant was designed to handle. NRC spokesman Victor Dricks said the plant remains safe."
Well that does it. (Score:5, Funny)
Its time to go back to burning dead dinosaurs, this nuclear stuff is clearly too dangerous!
Just look at how many news stories there are about it.
This must be what it was like to live in the 70s.

"...said they were monitoring the situation and there was no danger."
Yep, we really heard that a lot lately.
I personally find that in Japanese it sounded even better.

If something like that ever happens, we as a people will rise up and fight for our lives side by side against the horrible monstrosities we face. And after we're done, we'll find a nice home for the mutant frogs. Perhaps Montana, I hear they have a lot of extra space.

This is our own government claims. The same people who came up with the TSA and Homeland Security, FEMA, and the Obama administration.
The same government who told the state governments that there was no danger from subprime loans.
The same government who burned down the branch davidians, instead of arresting David Koresh the day before in town.
The same government who came up with 13.5 trillion in debt in four years.
And you believe them because...
