OMAHA — Several new problems have been found at a Nebraska nuclear power plant that suffered flood damage earlier this year, federal regulators said Tuesday, so inspectors will be watching the plant north of Omaha even more closely as repairs are made.
The tougher oversight for the Omaha Public Power District plant in Fort Calhoun is apt to further delay its restart from early next year until sometime in the spring. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said the new issues don’t pose a public-safety threat. A spokesman said the problems include deficiencies in the district’s emergency response and either a design or installation flaw that contributed to a fire in June.
