The epicenter wasn't that far from the nuke plant on Lake Anna. Sure
hope there's no problem there...

Uh, it was a 5.9, there will be no problems at the nuke plant.


You have no credentials and your opinion on the matter is of no value.
News reports say the nukes were shut down and the diesel generators are
now pumping cooling water through the plant. Hopefully, there was no
damage, but it has been talked about as a possibility at Lake Anna for
years. I'm sure there will be a full inspection before the reactors are
restarted.


Funny, Japanese pumps worded too but with cracked pools and
pipes...pumping water just floods the area.

It is just a mater of time before one in the USA does the same.


So, does that mean you're for or against nuclear power? Do you believe
it should be closely regulated or should we just rely on the company
(like GE) to tell us it's safe?
