Joseph Giambrone has a few questions for Omaha Public Power District and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in his Counterpunch article. Giambrone cited a June 24th New York Times/ClimateWire article by Peter Behr, "A Nuclear Plant's Flood Defenses Trigger a Yearlong Regulatory Confrontation," which reports that OPPD resisted NRC and even Army Corps of Engineers warnings and pressure to upgrade flood defenses for years on end, only recently doing so; the upgrades have yet to be evaluated, but are being severely tested by the rising floodwaters of the Missouri River.
