The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has wrapped up an investigation of a security violation at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station that happened during the 2011 floods.
The agency says the violation involved an employee who willfully failed to perform required duties, according to a letter sent Friday to Lou Cortopassi, chief nuclear officer at the plant.
Omaha Public Power District spokesman Mike Jones said the incident involved an employees inappropriate use of a cellphone camera in the protected area.
