Federal regulators will return to Nebraska on Wednesday for another public meeting about the efforts to repair the Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant.
The meeting between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Omaha Public Power District will begin at 6 p.m. at Blair High School. The nuclear plant is just outside Blair and about 20 miles north of Omaha.
Fort Calhoun has been shut down since OPPD began performing refueling maintenance last April. Flooding along the Missouri River forced it to remain closed last summer.
Regulators are watching Fort Calhoun closely because it has been closed so long and because several problems were found at the plant over the past couple years unrelated to last summer's flooding.
