This thread is dedicated to Hurricane Sandy and its' effects.  Please feel free to share anything, as the extent of damage and lives affected will be astronomical.

Nuke plants are required to be shutdown two hours prior to hurricane-force winds reaching site.

I'm interested to see which plants shutdown due to that, and which have a loss of off-site power (LOOP) forced scram.  Hopefully the industry's b.5.b./flex programs aren't tested.

Stay safe!
