The NRC is now reporting that one of the four back up generators powering the North Anna Nuclear Power Plant has failed after the 5.9 Virginia earthquake.
There has been a series of unusual events at nuclear power plants across the nation from North Carolin to Virgina following today’s 5.9 earthquake that struck with an epicenter near Mineral, Virginia’s North Anna nuclear power plant.
The earthquake caused power outages at the North Anna plant which forced workers to shutdown the reactors and switch to emergency backup generator’s to cool the nuclear fuel rods at the reactor.
While the NRC supposedly tested and certified the safety and functionality at the nuclear plant following the Fukushima nuclear meltdown, the NRC is now reporting that one of the backup generators at the plant failed just moments after being started.
As reported earlier, the media initially ignored reporting on the status of the North Anna nuclear power plant near the epicenter of today’s Virgina earthquake.
