More than a Dozen Nuclear Plants Near Hurricane Sandy’s Path Brace for Impact, all follow IAEA Guildlines and are safe

More than a Dozen Nuclear Plants Near Hurricane Sandy’s Path Brace for Impact, all follow IAEA Guildlines and are safe

“Because of the size of [Hurricane Sandy], we could see an impact to coastal and inland plants,” Neil Sheehan, a spokesman based in Philadelphia for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said by phone today. “We will station inspectors at the sites if we know they could be directly impacted.” The NRC met earlier today to discuss the necessary precautions to take for the storm, Sheehan said. Plants must begin to shut if wind speeds exceed certain limits, he said. As of 2 p.m. New York time, Sandy had winds of 75 miles (121 kilometers) per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. It was about 430 miles south-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, moving north at 7 mph. The current Hurricane Center track calls for the system to come ashore just south of Delaware Bay on Oct. 30.
