Concerns about intake structure and emergency service water pumps at flooded Ft. Calhoun

Appearing on CNN two days ago, Fairewinds Associates nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen focused his concerns about flooding at Ft. Calhoun nuclear power plant not on the reactor containment and auxiliary buildings, but rather on the water intake structure housing the emergency service water pumps needed for vital cooling functions. He urged that, like Ft. Calhoun, the Cooper atomic reactor, an exact replica of Fukushima Daiichi Units 1 to 4, be shut down immediately, so that its hellishly hot core can begin to cool down before flood waters rise anymore there. Arnie again raised the specter of upstream dams on the Missouri River failing, in which "all bets are off" at Ft. Calhoun.
