As a consequence of today's earthquake seven miles from the North Anna nuclear plants in Virginia, many may want to know more about the plants in their regions. to find them, use the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Facilities by NRC Region or State page: http://www.nrc.gov/info-finder/region-state/index.html It is copied below, but links may not work.
For the sites I checked in Virginia, each unit had a PDF letter under link: “US Plant Inspections following Japan Event.” Based on an NRC local official interviewed on a D.C. TV station, 12 plants felt the tremor and filed incident reports. The North Anna plants lost external power and automatically shut down and went to diesel power.
