Offsite power restored at North Anna, Lake Anna dam inspected for damage

Dominion Nuclear has put out a media release reporting that offsite grid power was restored to the North Anna nuclear power plant last night, so that the two atomic reactors no longer have to rely on backup emergency diesel generators, one of which failed during the post-earthquake cooling operations. Dominion also reports that its inspectors checked the Lake Anna dam for earthquake damage, but found none. Lake Anna is the cooling water supply for North Anna nuclear power plant.
