Fort Calhoun Spent Fuel the Equivalent of 20 Fukushimas

Fort Calhoun BEFORE Flood Wall Barrier Burst
We don't even want to think about the potential consequences of last night's rupture of the rubber inner tube protecting the Fort Calhoun nuclear plant.
SilverDoctors has learned while the reactor is off-line currently, the spent fuel pool is over 20 times the size of the spent fuel pools at Fukushima
Still wonder why there is a complete media black-out over the incident? 
The rubber inner-liner was likely protecting the back-up generator systems as well. Which means there is a good possibility of imminent loss of cooling capabilities at the spent pool.
Readers should start protecting themselves now
We are also hearing reports that a photo obtained by MSNBC of the plant taken after the rupture of the barrier wall yesterday has been removed from MSNBC's site.
More as we hear it.

*Update: NRC confirms back-up generators are still running, can withstand flood waters up to 1,014 feet above sea-level (flood waters currently are at 1,006 feet)
