I can't cut and past from the site, but there is a picture of the simulation for a radiation plume at Ft. Calhoun on the page. They are touting there new program for nuclear disaster response. Will someone check it out and tell me I am just being paranoid to worry about what is going on up river from me.

Not paranoid, smart to keep an eye on situation and if levees or dam fail u will have a idea where to not be. this data is good to have just in case.

here is a question and answer by nuke plant operators on current situation.

Lochbaum's biggest concern is a break in one of the six major Missouri River dams. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has made assurances the dams are safe.
"It depends on how far (the water has to travel) and how much water," Lochbaum said.
NPPD: Again, extremely unlikely. Cooper has physical and equipment barriers in place that would prevent any radioactivity from entering the water, the first of which is preventing the water from entering the building.
Q: If floodwaters do inundate Fort Calhoun, what is the risk to people living in the surrounding area?
OPPD: We feel that the plant is secure. The risk to the surrounding area will be provided by the flood, not our plant.
NPPD: We are taking the proactive and precautionary steps to minimize any risk.
Q: Have OPPD and NPPD received phone calls and emails from people concerned about the safety of both plants? What is your response?
OPPD: We have responded with facts on what we are doing to stay on top of the situation. We held a news conference last Friday to address concerns and questions from the news media.
NPPD: We have received a handful of emails. ... Nuclear power is a safe technology. Federal regulations, the industry's nuclear safety culture and history reinforce this. We have repeatedly withstood adverse conditions.
Q: What is the risk if both plants are shut down for months?
OPPD: Obviously, there is a financial impact, depending upon the price of replacement power and the amount needed. OPPD has other generating stations that are still providing power.
NPPD: There may be financial risks whenever a power plant is taken offline for a significant period of time, but NPPD has other generation resources it can call upon. ... It can also buy power on the market from other utilities.
