NRC: Exelon nuclear plant on 'alert' after Sandy storm surge - chicagotribune.com:
Not one but several nuclear power plants experienced problems:
"Constellation Energy Nuclear Group's 630-MW Nine Mile Point 1 nuclear power reactor in upstate New York did shut down due to a problem putting power onto the grid, although it was not clear whether the trouble was related to the storm, the NRC spokesman said."
"The relatively small 636-megawatt Oyster Creek plant also experienced a "power disruption" at its switch yard, causing two backup diesel generators to kick in and maintain a stable source of power, Exelon said."
"Tillman said another Exelon reactor at the Limerick facility in Pennsylvania was reduced to 91 percent power after Sandy caused a problem with the condenser."

Trace Fukushima radiation found in Northwest albacore tuna | Local News | The Seattle Times
Trace Fukushima radiation found in Northwest albacore tuna | Local News | The Seattle Times: "Researchers have found tiny amounts of radioactive cesium in albacore caught off Washington and Oregon. The radiation, originating from the 2011 tsunami in Japan, is thought to pose no public-health risk, but it is allowing scientists to track the migratory patterns of tuna for the first time."
Wether it is a tiny amount, I personally stopped eating Tuna and salmon; and then after reading about the dead zones in the Atlantic coast of the US, and the BP oil disaster and chemicals used to break down the oil in the gulf, I no longer eat seafood. (my comment)

Sandy's winds could cause up to $3 billion damage, FEMA estimates – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs
Sandy's winds could cause up to $3 billion damage, FEMA estimates – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs: [Update 5:15 p.m. ET] "The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says it will have on-site inspectors at all nuclear power stations that could be affected by Hurricane Sandy. The inspectors will be in place ahead of the storm and will stay at the power plants until the event is over.
No power station has been taken offline at this point, but each station has protocols and procedures for going offline, NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan said."
Go the extra step, shut them down until the storm passes by. (my comment)

I believe it is linked to more vocal and visible radical christians who have been behind anti-immigrants legislation. Obama has also promoted racism. Every time Obama authorizes a drone strike on a village in Yemen, Pakistan or Afghanistan- which inevitably results in civilian deaths- he is promoting hate of all darker skin, middle eastern people. The soldiers who maneuver the drones and push the buttons to strike must hate the people they murder otherwise they would not be able to kill. And since the soldiers do not know the individuals they bomb, they must think that all "these people with brown skins" as evil and refer to them as "sand niggers', as I heard someone screaming from a truck at anti war protesters. But also the public who accepts the strikes, the perpetual waring and aggression of the US on foreign countries must have the same hate otherwise we would all be on street and striking to end such violence and war crimes. I predict that once the wars end prejudice and racism will go down. (My comment)

There are many nuclear power plants all along the East coast and we are told electricity is likely to be affected, and because of the angle of Sandy, there is likely going to be a lot of water coming along with it. Will the generators be drowned? The nuclear safety agency, the NRC, should shut them down. (My comment). See map of Nuclear power plants location:

Since I moved to the US, 30 years ago, I heard over and over again how the European Community would fail; even recently the media were full of articles dooming the Eurozone, but with the creation of a single banking union, the bonds between European countries are strengthening to prove them wrong. Europeans know the Eurozone is the only way European countries can compete against the giants, because as we all know it big fish eat little fish. (my comments)
