Lots of clean up and rebuilding work there for their site facilities. Due to extensive damage to switchyard it could be some time before they can get both units back on line.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like they have some work ahead of them. Hope that everyone was safe while the storm hit.
According to NRC report the plant is in a stable state and everything reacted normally and as it should. Good news.

The people WHO depend on Surry for power probably won't notice that it's coming from another source. (Once their lines are restored that is)

This is in Virginia, not Japan. Try to keep up & on-topic!

in case you didn't get the email, a strong pro-nuke talking point is that if the plants go offline, then we will be forced to live in caves or endure rolling blackouts. this is often parroted by IP supporters, which is close to NYC.
