Federal regulators have identified a couple more minor concerns at the Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant during the latest inspections, but utility officials say the idle plant should be ready for restart before this summer.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a report Tuesday on its latest inspections at the plant 20 miles north of Omaha that has been shut down since April 2011.

Regulators say both of the new violations at the plant involved instances where the Omaha Public Power District made changes without getting the NRC’s approval beforehand.

OPPD spokesman Jeff Hanson says things are going well at the plant, and the utility expects Fort Calhoun to be ready before this summer’s peak electricity demand.

Regulators and utility officials say the plant won’t restart unless it’s safe.
