Nebraska Nuke Plant to Be Discussed at Public Meeting

fort_cal(AP) — Regulators will offer the public another update on the effort to rehabilitate Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant next week.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold another meeting on about the idle plant next Thursday.

Fort Calhoun, which sits across from Iowa on the Missouri River about 20 miles north of Omaha, has been offline since April 2011.

Fort Calhoun initially shut down for routine maintenance, but significant flooding in 2011, a small fire and a series of safety violations forced it to remain closed.

The meeting will be held from 6-9 p.m. next Thursday at the Ramada Plaza Hotel near 72nd Street and Interstate 80 in Omaha.
