The net is swimming right now with reports of a “10 Mile Mandatory Evacuation Area” being implemented right now.
Anyone able to confirm this or dispel this as a rumor?

Around Fort Calhoun ? Been doing google searches on Fort Calhoun and Cooper Nuclear for at least a week. Have not seen anything about evacuation zones. We do have a US senator asking the Army Corps of Engineers to consider the Nuclear Plants when they determine water releases from dams. Apparently they were not considering the Nuclear Plant flooding.

Found the web blog that appears to be the source of the rumor. This guy actually broke something important early on with regards to Fukushima, if I remember right. He states all references to the evacuation order were scrubbed from the MSM, well that could explain why I have not seen any mention. But it could also be just a false report. His page is quite extensive though, and he has an ABC video where the evacuation supposedly is discussed. Have no idea myself, will check it out later today when I have time.

FYI - The Army Corps of Engineers has stated that there will be consequences for people spreading false rumors. Just posting the above link for informational purposes and because you asked about it.

Watched the ABC video at the link above and see the problem. The NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko was stating that all Nuclear Plants have a 10 mile evacuation plan around them in case of an emergency release situation. The ABC reporter however lead Jaczko’s statement with a poorly worded statement that the evacuation zone had been implemented. The reporter meant to state the evacuation zone was already pre-planned in case of an emergency.
