Here are some specifics I've found about Waterford 3 from EPA & The NRC
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 50-382]
" The proposed action would change the Waterford 3 Technical
Specifications to allow an increase in the Waterford 3 Spent Fuel Pool
(SFP) storage capacity from 1088 to 2398 fuel assemblies, and to allow an increase in the maximum fuel enrichment from 4.9 w/o (weight
percent) to 5.0 w/o U-235. The increase in spent fuel storage capacity
is achieved by replacing the existing spent fuel storage racks by the
higher density racks, a process referred to herein as ``reracking.''
The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee's application
for license amendment dated March 27, 1997, as supplemented by letters
dated April 3, July 21, October 23, November 13, and December 12, 1997,
January 21, January 29, March 23, May 1, May 19, May 21, May 28, and
June 12, 1998."
Some older info. there but this shows more specifics about their Spent Fuel pools.

One other thing I've been curious about are if there are any disease testing facilities in New Orleans. A completely different topic at hand, but I
believe the Center for Disease Control has a facility there as well. Just something else to spend hours and hours in researching lol
Fuel Assemblies
"To make electricity, nuclear reactors use fuel made of solid ceramic pellets of enriched uranium that are sealed in strong metal tubes. The tubes are bundled together to form a nuclear fuel assembly. The uranium pellets are about the size of the tip of your little finger."
After three or four years in a reactor, however, the uranium pellets are no longer efficient for producing electricity and the assembly is removed from the reactor. After removal, the entire assembly (now called spent nuclear fuel) is highly radioactive.
Depending on the type of reactor, fuel assemblies can be as long as 16 feet and can weigh up to 1,200 pounds each.
www.ocrwm.doe.gov...
Waterford 3 Spent Fuel Pool
(SFP) storage capacity from 1088 to 2398 fuel assemblies
Figure these plants are for creating electricity, if you have electricity out, there is a problem or "damage" where the electricity is created.

Spent Fuel Pools
After three to four years in a reactor, spent nuclear fuel is moved to a storage pool of water at the reactor site. At this point, the spent fuel is not only highly radioactive, but also extremely hot in temperature. Besides helping to cool the fuel, the water protects workers and the public from radiation.
Currently, spent fuel is stored in pools at every nuclear reactor site in the United States. By 2010, the earliest opening date for a repository, 78 nuclear power plants will have no room left in their spent fuel pools.
You know, maybe you should start a new thread in the "Fragile Earth" forum, or just stick to Waterford and New Orleans in this one.
Is there a way to move a thread I am new here
The majority of the info. here is about Waterford, but I brought up the underground waste and air contamination as well. Overall this thread is about the Nuclear Facilities on the Gulf Coast.

This has certainly been an education on how nuclear powerplants work.
Where I work (A community heath research center), the assistant director use to work for DOW. His speciality is environmental health. I asked him what the effects would be if a Nuclear Powerplant in NOLA was flooded. He confirmed that the flood waters would be contaminated with nuclear waste but of course could not confirm at what level and anyone exposed to those flood waters would be exposed to radioactivity. I do not know how long it would take for the water from the power plant to affect the flood waters of the surrounding area. He indicated that the long term health problems would be catastrophic. He's being pulled into a meeting about NOLA tomorrow. If I can get some info from him, I'll post it here.
XGovGirl. Can you actually confirm that the Waterford plant is in fact flooded or is that speculation. Just looking for clarity. If that is the case, then there is definitely a problem not being reported in the mainstream media.

cant wait to hear!
im still gathering evidence on my side lol so just bare with me
i can finally put that ATC airspace map reading to some good use
give me until tomorrow afternoon i should have a lot more proof together i'm getting exact uranium storage areas, flood water estimates, and damage sites from the NRC logs
grr i wanna bust these liars so bad!
once i get everything together ill post it up have a good evening!

XGovGirl that I'm enjoying your thread just the way it is. I'm glad it's all together here, so I know where to find it,. I don't care how much
you post, or how fast you post it.
The lamestream media talking heads all get the same talking point memos every day. There are only so many ways to say the same things over and over. There's little-to-no original thought to be found.
I appreciate people who do independent research and share their findings. It's refreshing to see different points of view. I like to view things from various angles and make up my own mind. So just thought I'd drop in and say, "You go, girl! Good job!"

Entergy yesterday, working hard on their siren emergency alarm systems. Why? Just because people have drawn their attention to Nuclear Plants across
the country or because they are concerned for something that just took place in NO that we aren't being told about. The siren system is something I
brought up in the beginning here. Due to the first news article prior to Katrina where Entergy said they were prepared for the hurricane because they
had an emergency system in place: that made me question what that emergency system was and how siren's wouldn't mean squat when we didn't even get
in there for over 24 hours time. Even if the sirens were going off, it would mean nothing to anyone except Entergy once they finally got in there.
More suspicion on my side. If their spent fuel pools are where I think them are, then the Lake and surrounding NO there is polluted with radioactivity.
Hearing Bush and the Gov. talk about allowing people back in there is VERY frightening and could just add to the injustice of not telling us this information if this is the case.
The CDC doesn't seem to be updating their page that frequent either by the way I jump on there first thing each day.
Entergy says it will move faster to replace siren system
Does anyone know what would happen if it could be proved all around that there was nuclear contamination. If every bit of information was compiled and pretented to the public and that placed all of the govt officials in a coverup position, wouldn't this make those responsible for keeping it quiet in great trouble including Entergy Corp? Or would this be just another thing ignored where they just brush it off while people got sick from the exposure? A company as big as Entergy owns a lot of the plants across the country. The biggest thing that could come to light is the fact that the US has been warned about flooding before, but the Nuclear Reg. Commission ignored that clearly. Allowing people to go in there for relief efforts without telling them would put so many at risk, including military guard and active duty. The location of one of the sites is right there at the lake, this would also mean that those people who were sent in to pump the water were exposed without being told it wasn't just "toxic" but "radioactive". That would be HUGE! But also very very too late!

More from Entergy that goes against their prior reports of "no damage" 9/15
Cleanup expert coordinates army of Entergy crews
www.southeasttexaslive.com...
"His area of concern was Kenner, Metairie and West Bank areas - just west and south of downtown New Orleans." (this is the area I'm in question now about fuel storage facilities)
Pierce said he found it amazing that he was having conversations about easy restorations that involved "just 12 broken poles."
Entergy Texas spokesman Dave Caplan said the restoration process still is in the early stages and some areas still are inaccessible, making it impossible to gauge how many customers cannot have power restored because of too much damage.
The storm knocked out 265 substations and put 1,560 distribution feeders out of service.
There is no cost estimate yet on the cleanup.

This here is an Entergy fire (someone asked earlier)
A large fire burns in New Orleans September 3, 2005. Utility operator Entergy Corp. will re-enter New Orleans on Sunday with National Guard escorts to begin assessing damage caused by Hurricane Katrina and subsequent floods, the company said. REUTERS/Jason Reed
And could this picture above be the same location as the PLANT and not just an off site location of the plant: here are pictures of the Waterford 3 plant
This fire here could bring in the question of air contamination!
Remember also that it isn't the actual operations building where the spent fuel is stored, it's the AUX building near the site that is the worry.
According to the Nuclear Commission logs there was an emergency declared for an AUX building. If that is where this fire is, you can sure
bet we have air contamination as well as just the water contamination
from the flood waters.

"The delay, Entergy says, is caused not only by the inaccessibility of some areas due to Katrina-related damage, but also by corrosion to vital systems due to being soaked in slightly salty floodwaters."

"Chris and Sherri Talazac and their children, Jessica, 17, and Michael, 15. The family lives in Kenner, La., and they believe that their home may have been inundated by at least 3 feet of water. They bought the house last year. Chris Talazac works at Waterford 3, a nuclear power plant. He planned to head back to the New Orleans area on Thursday to see if he could help restore power. Sherri Talazac, a teacher, is the daughter of Melvin and Jackie Caillouet. "

Keep it coming XGovGirl. The more information gets out, the more questions are asked and that makes it more difficult to hide the truth.
Yes, Nagin was talking about bringing back 200,000 of NOLA's most affluent residents, since they're homes were not damaged by flooding. If their areas are not flooded, I don't think it means their areas are "safe", but I could be wrong about that.

Loam once again I think maybe we ARE soulmates LOL we're posting the same type information at the same time again ...please STAY out of my brain
okay?
Wow look at the Entergy fire above dated September 3, 2005.
I think we're onto something here I'm scared
I think we're onto something here I'm scared
You should be scared. Digging for answers and finding a truth that isn't as rosy as the lies we're told is scary stuff.
But don't be surprised if some folks "round these parts" refute your statements, even though you provide a ton of detailed information. I've noticed an alarming trend in some folks who are all too willing to challenge the info you and Loam present. It makes me wonder who they really are and why they're here. Who would possibly gain from trying to disuade us from seeking the truth?
Your information leads to questions. Those questions lead to the truth. Some want the truth burried. Others are probably too afraid to consider the truth. Loam and XGovGirl are onto something.

Hurricane Katrina Slams Into Gulf Coast; Dozens Are Dead
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 29
"The extent of damage to the plant that shut down, Waterford, 20 miles west of New Orleans, was still unknown late Monday afternoon because the wind was blowing too hard to go out and look, said Diane Park, a spokeswoman."
=============================================
Entergy is using specialized divers, helicopters, and amphibious vehicles to locate and control gas leaks. We’re using highly trained experts, the most advanced technology, and skilled crew members to implement this attack plan. Although the leaks we’ve found are generally in flooded areas and pose no immediate safety threat, we’re focused on controlling them.
===================================================
Again how can they even use the word "undamaged" if they didn't even go in yet?????
NRC to survey undamaged Waterford 3 nuclear plant
Tue Aug 30, 2005 01:50 PM ET
yahoo.reuters.com...
NRC staff have independently verified that key plant systems and structures are undamaged and able to support current plant operations," the NRC said in a statement.
An NRC official will accompany state and federal officials during a survey of the site within the next 48 hours, including its evacuation routes and emergency sirens, the agency said. NRC approval is needed before the Waterford 3 plant can restart.
===============================================
Other Entergy plants in Katrina's path to consider
Separately, Entergy's Grand Gulf nuclear plant near Port Gibson, Mississippi, and River Bend Nuclear Station near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, were both operating at reduced power on Tuesday morning, the NRC said. "The plants operated through the storm, (so they weren't shut down) but voluntarily reduced power generation to assist in restoring stability to the electrical grid when a drop in energy consumption caused grid voltage to fluctuate," it said.

NRC WITHDRAWS $110,000 FINE
AGAINST ENTERGY'S WATERFORD 3 NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has withdrawn a $110,000 civil penalty it proposed in June 1998 against Entergy Operations, Inc.'s Waterford 3 nuclear power plant near Taft, Louisiana.
The NRC made the decision to rescind its action after considering new information submitted by Entergy in response to the enforcement action. The original civil penalty cited Waterford 3 for four violations associated with the testing of cooling water flow in the high pressure safety injection system (HPSI). The NRC has dropped two of these violations and re-classified the remaining two as Severity Level IV, which have no civil penalty.
==================================================
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TAX BREAKS FROM BUSH another Entergy Corp. Buddy
The two nuclear reactors join 10 others that the NRC has approved for power uprates since September 2001. The Bush administration's national energy plan, unveiled in May 2001, includes tax breaks and other incentives to encourage the expansion of nuclear energy through license extensions, power uprates and construction of new reactors.
WASHINGTON, DC, The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved requests by two nuclear power plant operators to increase their energy output.
Entergy Operations, Inc. plans to increase the generating capacity of the Waterford Electric Station, Unit 3, located 20 miles west of New Orleans, Louisiana, by about 1.5 percent, or about 16 megawatts.
Entergy Corp.'s 1,075-MW Waterford-3 plant in Louisiana is 80 percent finished with a full visual inspection of the reactor vessel as part of an ongoing refueling outage. Entergy told the NRC that it did not find any corrosion.
Lehman Brothers analysts had placed the Waterford-3 plant among three U.S. plants most susceptible to corrosion.
