DESCRIPTION: This Preliminary Notification updates information discussed in PNO-IV-003, PNO-IV-003A, PNO-IV-003B and PNO-IV-003C. On June 26, the NRC activated the Region IV Incident Response Center following the collapse of a water-filled berm at Fort Calhoun Station on the morning of June 26. This water-filled berm had been installed around the perimeter of the plant as a supplemental flood protection measure because of elevated Missouri River levels in the vicinity of the plant. At 10:50 a.m. (CDT) on June 30, 2011, the NRC deactivated the Region IV Incident Response Center. This was based on an NRC assessment that plant conditions are stable; the impacts on the plant from the collapse of the water-filled berm are understood and are being addressed; and, that the required flood protection measures continue to be effective in protecting plant structures, systems and components. The NRC continues to monitor the licensee response to elevated river levels with additional inspectors at the site who are providing around-the-clock coverage.

This water-filled berm had been installed around the perimeter of the plant as a supplemental flood protection measure because of elevated Missouri River levels in the vicinity of the plant. At 10:50 a.m. (CDT) on June 30, 2011, the NRC deactivated the Region IV Incident Response Center. This was based on an NRC assessment that plant conditions are stable; the impacts on the plant from the collapse of the water-filled berm are understood and are being addressed; and, that the required flood protection measures continue to be effective in protecting plant structures, systems and components. The NRC continues to monitor the licensee response to elevated river levels with additional inspectors at the site who are providing around-the-clock coverage.
