I hope those generators keep on working real good!

I hope the earthquake did not damage the reactor, which was at or perhaps a bit above its design limits with a 6.0.

I don't think the government can ignore this, it's 60 miles upwind of DC.

:nuke: :nuke: :hide:


BTW, the wikipedia article says that Lake Anna is an artificial lake, created to provide those nukes with cooling water.
Has anybody checked the dams that make it a lake?
