Twenty-five of 27 spent fuel storage casks at a Virginia nuclear plant were shifted between 1 and 4 inches during last week's 5.8-magnitude earthquake, officials said Thursday.
The cylinders, each 16 feet tall and weighing 115 tons, were not damaged, and no radiation was released, said Rich Zuercher, spokesman for Dominion Virginia Power, which owns the North Anna Power Station.

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine
[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine
[Chorus]
I can only imagine [x2]
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
Oh no. Something moved during an earthquake. God help us.
That's 230,000 pounds(about 50 autos) apiece, Bimbo. How much energy is needed to move that weight?
Which construction components of the nuclear plant can not withstand that much force?
So nothing happened then....slick powers of journalism at their best.
Attn CNN: news is when there is something to report.
THIS JUST IN: nothing new in congress today. They are still screwing every taxpayer out there except for the top 1%
Over to you Ollie...
Sigh.
I do.
Especially with the spent rod in my basement.
Wow, that's quite a moniker, JIF.
I would hope that these plants would have been built taking earthquakes into consideration.
Have any of you ever seen these containers? No? I could tell from your ignorant comments.
Spent rod? In your basement? I've got one of those, but it's only four inches. Some like 'em that wide though. I remember the first time I ever used it for anything other than going pee-pee. I was only 9 yrs. old when I lost my virginity. Huh? Oh. You meant with a partner. nm
It doesn't count if you pay for it.
@jazzzzzzzz great song! that area is where we just moved from. thank God it wasnt anything. alot of good people in that area.
....is sporting a hockey puck for a penis, and is actually...9 years old.
@ banasy 11:46 AM:
Thank you very much.
I just threw together some of the nice compliments I've received from others here.
@jif my brother whoever is saying those things about you is obviously a fathead! too much skull not enough brain
I can understand people's fears when it comes to things they don't know. This plant operated as it should, including venting steam to the atmosphere, and there was never a threat to the public.
