A nuclear power plant in Nebraska is the latest fission-based power source to be surrounded by water, much to the the chagrin of those who like neither radiated water or nuclear meltdowns. Thankfully, the plant seems to be safe for the time being and the core is intact. So, no corn-fed Godzilla for the moment.

New York Times reporter Matthew L. Wald today that the Fort Calhoun nuclear plant is still surrounded by Missouri River flood water. Flooding started June 6, and by June 14, much of the plant was surrounded by water. Despite the deluge, the plant has been stabilized.

鈥淭he plant faces two other challenges, however. One is that the flowing water, four feet deep in some spots around the plant, may have undermined some structures. Already, plant workers have stopped moving heavy vehicles over paved surfaces because they may have been weakened, the managers say,鈥� wrote Wald.
