Cooper Nuclear Station official reports planned September outage during Nemaha County meeting

Dakota Schulenberg, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator with Cooper Nuclear Station, briefed the Nemaha County Board of Commissioners during the board’s March 25 meeting and said a planned outage will occur in September.

Schulenberg delivered the station’s quarterly emergency-preparedness report; the minutes record the outage timing but do not include further operational detail in the public minutes. The presentation was listed on the agenda at 9:00 a.m. and recorded as informational to the board.

County emergency-management officials and local first responders commonly use such quarterly briefings to coordinate response plans and points of contact; the minutes do not record additional follow-up directives from the board at this meeting. The board continued with routine agenda items after the presentation.
