It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. I will tell you what is happening. Right now you have the sun with increasing heat and solar activity sending out waves towards the earth and our protective belt. As that continues to penetrate through the belt into the atmosphere, earth undergoes massive changes with both sinkhole activity, iceberg dissipation through extreme heat, and increased volcanic and seismic activity.

Through this its like having a child going through puberty, and developing blackheads and pimples and the climax is being reached through both oil and bacteria buildup on the face. Also note we have entered past the mayan 5th day with increased solar activity and the fault lines are another key factor but not the indicator to the quake and temperature problems. Also haarp through nation governments can control weather sequencing and be used for physical and temperature seizure in place for economic and global changes through false flag war preempts and direct sourcing.

U.S. nuclear officials said the North Anna Power Station...lost off-site power and was using diesel generators to maintain cooling operations after an 5.9 earthquake hit the region today.

The North Anna plant, which was near the epicenter of Tuesday's quake, is reportedly located on a fault line.

Update: Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) Senior Scholar Bob Alvarez told the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) that the North Anna plant was built to withstand a 5.9-6.1 quake.

[EDIT] North Anna Nuclear Reactors Only Designed to Withstand 5.9 - 6.1 Magnitude Earthquake: [link to pogoblog.typepad.com]
 Quoting: Earthling on Uranus


Which is why ther was only a 5.9 quake (that was felt in Georgia and Canada.)

The North Anna plant, which was near the epicenter of Tuesday's quake, is reportedly located on a fault line.
 Quoting: article


even more

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission rates the plant as the seventh most likely to receive core damage from a quake.
 Quoting: article



hang on

According to the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME), the Virginia Tech Seismological Observatory (VTSO) removed all seismographs from around the plant in the 1990s due to budget cuts.

whatever
It was a 6.0
It was made to withstand that
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1109530


Or was it a 6.8 like one GLP'er said he saw right after the quake? If the USGS was changing the numbers for this one the nuke plant being built to 6.0 standards would be a good reason to change the numbers.

Luckily they conveniently listed the quake as a 5.8, so you don't have to worry.

And dont worry that the backup generator failed...
Nothing to see here.

Support nuclear power. its very safe.

I was watching Nancy Grace last night (I know! I know! She's nuts! But I cant help it, lol) - and she was saying something about steam coming from it?

Sorry if this has already been talked about - have not yet read through all the posts here. Bumping for more info!

My mother lives 54 miles from the epicenter. Her chimney was cracked, but, get this, she has EQ insurance. My step dad thought she was crazy for getting it.
She told me they took the reactors off line too.

Californiatard here.

Have any of you experienced anything over 6.0?
Because if you have you would know how insignificant it is. 6.5 is kinda scary if you aren't sleeping. A 5.9 is so mild, its not even worth talking about much.

Its like wind shaking your car a little. I really highly doubt that a nuclear plant would not be able to survive a 6.1. Its not enough to make a full glass of water spill.

Listening to people like you on NPR yesterday makes me wanna grab you by the shoulders and shake the living shit out of your stupid panicking asses. Just so you know what a solid earthquake feels like.

every plant should be designed to withstand 10.0, I DONT CARE WHERE IT IS. They're making enough money with that technology, they really don't need to be cutting corners.

considering the total available land area surely, even once all other considerations are made, it would be possible to build a nuclear reactor somewhere other than on a fault line?
