Virginia Power Plant Initiating Cold Shutdown for Inspections:
"Among other concerns related to seismic risk, inspectors found other small vulnerabilities at the plant, such as seismic floodwalls being located in a non-seismic building and certain safety equipment that was not designed to withstand an earthquake."

Another thing I've found is North Anna NPP is designed for a 5.9 on the stone portions of the facility and a 6.1 on the soil portion. It is interesting that the USGS at one point rated the quake at 5.9 only to downgrade it a few hours later. I'm sure intensity revisions happen all the time but it still makes me wonder if the revision was ordered to quell the critics.
