(Fort Calhoun, NE)  --  A Nebraska nuclear power plant is one step closer to being torn down.  The Omaha Public Power District announced yesterday that it has reached an agreement on a contract with EnergySolutions on the Fort Calhoun Station.  The power district will work with EnergySolutions to decontaminate and deconstruct the power plant near Fort Calhoun by the mid 2020s.  The nuclear plant was in service for 43 years before it was taken offline and defueled in 2016.
