On Wednesday July 13, 2011, The Nebraska Public Power District officially called off the alert raised at the southeast Nebraska nuclear power plant as the floodwaters of the Missouri River rose at a threatened pace.
The notice of the catastrophic event, ushered on June 19, was terminated by The Nebraska Public Power District on Tuesday at the Cooper Power Plant owing to the visible decline of the Missouri River water level on Wednesday morning by 895.5 feet above sea level.
The utility team of Nebraska acknowledged that the 899 feet above sea level rise in the river water led to the issuance of the alert. In the meanwhile all the operations of the southeast Nebraska nuclear power plant were executed at the Cooper Power Plant.
The level of the river will continue to decline slowly unless it is not further affected by any major rain storms. As a measure of precaution, most of the flood barricades are decided to be kept at the Cooper power Plant by the Utility.
