in fact, the north anna plant, built to withstand an earthquake of 6.2 maximum on the richter scale,ust four times as strong as today. a relatively thin safety cushion. at the epicenter, residents of mineral, virginia, felt the earth move, the ground rumble. the post office sustained so much damage, the mail carriers had to sort the letters in the street. tell me what it felt like. >> initially it was a low rumbling, and then you could -- the noise increased. you could start to see, certainly see motion in the building. >> reporter: at the north anna nuclear facility just miles from the epicenter, the two reactors were automatically shut down. both lost offsite power, just like japan's fukushima did after the devastating tsunami in march. they were forced to use emergency reserve generators for electricity. in this demonstration last march, engineers at the north anna simulator showed us exactly what it looks and sounds like when the reactor is shut down. were you ever concerned this was significant enough to damage the reactor? >> no, i was not. >> reporter: this u.s. geological sur

largest earthquake to strike virginia and well over one hundred years and near the epicenter is the north anna nuclear power station rated the seventh most likely nuclear power plant in america to receive core damage in the event of an earthquake but due to budget cuts the quake sensors at the plant were removed back in one nine hundred ninety. luckily diesel backup generators kicked in to prevent a meltdown after the plant lost power during the earthquake but only one and only one of the four of them failed failed the only one even luckier the plant was built to withstand a six point one earthquake yesterday's was a five point eight meaning we were not that close to suffering a focus shima like nuclear disaster in the nation's capital so will this quake serve as a wake up call here to offer his take on this is gunter director of reactor oversight reactor oversight project at the nuclear power welcome back to the program thanks again for having us great to have you what's the latest from the north anna plant well i think there right now the concern is what kind of damage happened at the plant

today's quake was in mineral, virginia, happens to be home to the decades old north anna power station, a power plant, at the epicenter of the quake, officials at the plant felt the shaking today and powered down both reactors. they also lost the source of electricity the plant brings in to cool the super hot, super dangerous nuclear fuel so it does not overheat. when the quake hit, its diesel generators kicked in. the plant is now running on those generators. in a statement today, no major damage has been reported at the plant and no release of radioactive materials has occurred beyond the minor releases associated with normal station operations. after the earthquake, a dozen nuclear plants from north carolina to michigan declared what the nuclear regulatory commission calls unusual events. those plants are continuing to operate. new estimates for the risk of devastating earthquakes at our country's 104 commercial nuclear reactors. on the top ten list for serious damage of an earthquake, nine of the ten are in the eastern half of the united states. where, remember, they are worried a

our brian todd is live outside the north anna nuclear plant in mineral, virginia. p tell us what the situation is there, brian. >> we've found out a short time ago that power from the main grid was restored to this nuclear power plant overnight. that's the power that fuels the cooling systems for the nuclear reactors and spent fuel pools here. both nuclear reactors at this power plant remain shut down as they walk through the safety checks. that's one part of how an entire region is recovering from this quake. >> may be an aftershock, but you're allowed to go back in the building at this time. >> reporter: to millions of people on the east coast, this was the big one. >> you believe you've just witnessed an earthquake in washington, d.c. >> reporter: it's the strongest quake to hit the virginia area since 1897, a 5.8, rattling nerves and shaking buildings in the nation's capital. >> i thought it was some kind of bomb. i never felt nothing like that before in washington. >> i was on the bus and the bus did a shimmy. >> i thought the building was about to ke lapse. >

the only real issue where the nuclear plants and 20 miles from the epicenter is north anna and that did everything it was supposed to do. triggered a halt and they had back-up diesel power. enough to keep cooling the fuel rods. the issue is -- are they built to withstand that? it's already raising questions. it's built to withstand 5.9 to 6.1 at north anna. >> andrea and pete, thank you. >>> up next a different kind of earthquake in libya. rebels storm moammar gadhafi's compound. but where is he? >>> here's what's happening. the washington monument has been closed while officials inspect some cracks near the top following tuesday's earthquake centered in northern virginia. >>> libyan leader moammar gadhafi made a radio address tuesday night and said intense nato bombing forced him to make a tactical withdrawal from his now overrun compound in tripoli. >>> hurricane irene lost a little bit of her punch approaching the bahamas on tuesday but it's not back to category 2 strength with 100 mile-per-hour winds and experts say irene could increase to a category 4 monster before hitting the nor

just got through to the regulatory commission and the north anna plant two reactors, the one closest to the epicenter of today's earthquake is the only one that was shut down, and it was shut down safely. there was absolutely no danger or possibility of a radiation leak. the generators there that are supposed to kick in to keep the rods cool did as they were supposed to do. so the rods are being cooled thereby completely eliminating the danger of any radiation leak from excess heat as we saw at fukushima in japan, where there was a tsunami that knocked out -- >> that must give us reassurance that they seem to be efficient on a day like today? >> reporter: absolutely. there are many nuclear power plants. i don't know the exact number, in the area that felt the shaking today bay of the nature of the earth, as we said, in the eastern united states. the shaking was felt for very long distances and only that one plant, the north anna plant, where it was even necessary to shut it down and it shut down completely safely and harm ldsly. indeed, there are backup systems that almost always wor

the north anna nuclear power station was about 20 kilometers from the epicenter of the quake. the commission is sending a team of seismic experts to the power station to determine the precise level of shaking and whether the plant needs to be reinforced. the station's reactors automatically shut down when the facility lost power but emergency diesel generators managed to cool the units. the watchdog later found the plant had experienced tremors that may have exceeded the level it was designed to withstand. last week's earthquake has raised questions about the preparedness of nuclear plants on the east coast, where large quakes were thought to be rare. >>> busloads of volunteers often drive to the affected areas of the tsunami in japan. they are cleaning up the mess and getting areas on their feet again. tour companies find the volunteers and for a fee drive the workers to the work sites. >> reporter: late at night in tokyo, the overnight bus terminal is busy. these passengers have signed up for a volunteer tour in northeastern japan. >> translator: i have a job, so i decided t

but the north anna plant at lake anna, virginia, that plant has two reactors and came online in 1978 and both reactors have tripped and shutdown au automatically and the plant has recorded unusual event and now beginning the procedures to assess any, any concerns whatsoever. and while i have you on the line, several airport control towers were evacuated. and they include jfk in new york as well as newark airport on the new jersey side of newark as they inspect the towers for potential concerns, but the a airstrips themselves to make sure there is no serious cracks in the foundations at that point. that is what i can give you at this moment. >> that is a lot. our colleague john harwood said he was on the amtrak fast train, if you will, that stopped outside of baltimore while amtrak checks the soundness of the track. that is the information i'm receiving from john harwood, and also according to t toing to u. geological society that this earthquake is the largest to hit virginia since the one in giles, virginia, which was may 5th, 1897. this is the information that i'm receiving. back t

five point nine earthquake and we have seen here that epicenter there is a nuclear power plant in north anna which has been shut down and they're running on generators to cool those rods there what we're hearing is it's the lowest level of emergency and everything is under control but this does bring up the question of earthquakes in this area and a nuclear power plant there nearby because i think the bigger picture is that one of the worst nuclear power plants on the federal government's list is just thirty five miles from the epicenter from midtown manhattan just thirty five miles away that indian point it's a plant that the governor has wanted to shut down it's still there still running and remember so this is a small earthquake now and they're rare in new york but if there was to be a large earthquake the area that needed to be evacuated in japan around the fukushima plant was fifty miles at least can you imagine new york trying to evacuate the entire city high and williams acknowledges a disaster nine million people in a tiny island sound crazy thanks so much archie correspondent laura

just 5 miles from the epicenter of the quake, a nuclear power plant, two reactors at the north anna power plant were automatically taken off line when the tremors hit, the plant declaring an alert and now teams are there assessing any potential damage. doug mckelway, live in mineral, virginia, you're at the local high school near the epicenter. what's the damage there, doug? >> reporter: well, jon, it's really interesting, because if you take a look at this county high school, louisa county high school, there appears to be nothing wrong with it, but you look inside the halls and you see the extent of the damage, big cracks in the walls, debris strewn about, ceiling tiles down, light fixures down, we spoke with a teacher, chuck hoffman, who just wrapped up class when the quake struck, he was walking past the principal's office. listen up to this: >> the first thing i thought when i heard the rumbling, it was oh, are they working on the roof again? and of course, it got louder and the shaking, and then it sounded just like a freight train was coming down the hall. >> reporter: at that point

stoddard, a top nuclear official with dominion virginia power took us inside the north anna facilitywas like when a "once in a century" earthquake struck centered just a few miles from here. we're at a simulated control room at north anna, where they train the reactors to run the reactor, dan stoddard will show us the moment the earthquake hit and they lost offsite power, dan? >> they recognized they had an earthquake and they were moving toward the manual shutdown switches to shut down the reactor. at that point they experienced a loss of offsite power and we'll see what that looked like for the operators. >> reporter: clearly an emergency. so, what do they do then? >> as i said, they would go to the reactor trip switch. go to manual shut down the unit each reactor. >> reporter: this is the key switch to shut down the reactor? >> that's right. less than two seconds the reactor is shut down. >> reporter: the shutdown was triggered automatically. while the ground shook, stoddard was down the hall. he says he initially thought something had happened with one of the turbine generators.

federal authorities say the north anna power station is safe. but crews are still inspecting it for any damage. the plant automatically s hutdown the reactors after the quake. >>> the earthquake temporarily halted work in our washington, d.c. bureau. the quake sent reporters out into the streets along with thousands of other workers evacuated from downtown buildings. they and most of washington for that matter also lost cell phone and e-mail service. coming up at 5:30, our washington, d.c. reporter scott mcfarlane is going to give us a report of the earthquake live from our nation's capital. >>> you can go to the east coast quake tab, we have a survival guide for you here in the bay area on ktvu.com. >>> hot off yesterday's b.a.r.t. protest, anonymous says it will do it again. our david stevenson was there as the commute chaos played out live. he's at the city now with what could come next. >> reporter: protesters, police and b.a.r.t. all say they are ready to face off again in more platform protests. police on monday arrested four people on the

they say the north anna plant, the plant closest to the epicenter in mineral, virginia, two units, both of them tripped offline, emergency diesel generators went into police station operation. that is exactly what is supposed to happen. this is categorized as an unusual event, the lowest category in the nrc spreadsheet of things that might occur. in addition, there are many other nuclear events in the zone that was affected by this earthquake, all of them, too, have registered an unusual event but as far as we know, the north anna units are the only ones that have tripped offline. you can bet inspectors are going over those plans with a fine toothed comb to determine if there is any sort of damage, any sort of impact that we need to be concerned about. >> we'll stay on that part of the story. i want to bring in chad myers from the cnn weather center. chad this is an area that was so widespread that felt this earthquake, give us a little sense of how big of a deal this is. >> it was a pretty big deal because the east coast is sitting on one plate. we think of the west coast and the diffe

officials here at the north anna power plant still assessing some minor damage.make progress overnight in restoring power to this facility, that means the cooling systems for the reactor and spent fuel rods can work without a hitch now, but the two main reactors are still shut down as they run through the security checks. just one part of how an entire region is recovering from this earthquake. >> may be an aftershock, but you're allowed to go back in the building at this time. >> reporter: to millions of people on the east coast, this was the big one. it's the strongest quake to hit the virginia area since 1897, a 5.8, rattling nerves and shaking buildings in the nation's capitol. >> i really truly thought it was some kind of bomb, i never felt nothing like that in washington. >> i was on the bus, bus did a shimmy. >> reporter: the quake was centered in mineral, virginia, but could be felt all the way in martha's vineyard, where the president is on vacation. shaking was felt in more than a dozen states in all, even into canada. nbc's cameras focussed on the whit

we've been talking about this north anna nuclear plant not far from the epicenter. reactors taken off line. no damage. jim, if you can pick up with what the situation is. have people been evacuated in mount vernon or are there any plans to do so as they prepare for possible aftershocks? >> you know, not at this point. the folks here at mount vernon told us that as a precaution, they hurried everybody out of the house. obviously, they were concerned about all of the artifacts insides. they went room by room. you can sort of see hiepd me, randi, there are tourists walking around the ground. you talk to anybody who was here during that and they just couldn't believe what had happened. i know peter ham by, he grew up in virginia, i did myself not far from mount vernon. i can tell you, nobody who grew up in this area or from this area, has ever felt anything like this. in our lifetime, it's not been felt in the d.c. metropolitan area. having grown up, going water-skiing at lake anna, i must tell you that that has been a worry for many, many years for people who live in t

very seriously, a power plant in virginia, the north anna plant, less than 20 miles from the epicenter of the quake, shut down after the first tremors out of an abundance of caution. we're told everything is okay over there some of the monday you nent monuments closed down. the national parks service closed down lincoln memorial, jefferson memorial, and the old post office tower, and most of the federal office buildings closed, they did reopen in the afternoon, but a lot of workers went home early. some reports that the washington monument was leaning. it was found to be structurally sound. in new york at the news conference, the prosecutor in the dominique strauss-khan news conference, watch this. he sent reporters in the press conference running. the floor started shaking. people started getting nervous and cyrus vance, the prosecutor, ended the news conference quickly. he did note he was from seattle, so very familiar with earthquakes. the earthquake, a huge story. but the other big story, around the world tonight, of course, what's going on in libya history unfolding and we have br

a couple, one good thing about this, a power plant, the north anna plant, nearby. 2 shut down properly. the generators cooling off the rods as they should. everything is fine there. it shows us, again, for things like older structures and power plants, bridges, tunnels, if they're old, earthquake dos happen in the east. this should be a wake-up call. we have enough things to worry about, obviously. we think about it all the time. but there are eastern earthquake and they can be severe. >> a spokesman at the white house said it shook pretty good here. it was felt in martha's vineyard, not significantly where the president is. and the national cathedral in washington, d.c., they evacuated all sorts of buildings. union station, shook the foundation of the pentagon. the capitol, the house, the senate. so what happens now? because these are not buildings that were built to be earthquake-proof obviously, especially in the nation's capital. can they determine quickly these are all okay? >> all of those have good engineering staff to come in and make sure nothing is going to fall down. the rea

the north anna power station in virginia is less than 20 miles from the quake's epicenter and both ofeactors shut down like they're supposed to. cnn's brian todd is outside the plant now. brian, they are closely watching that place. >> reporter: they certainly are, candy, both reactors are shut down as you said because of the cutoff of power from the electrical grid to this plant. and that's actually why they declared an alert here rather than an unusual event. an unusual event is the lowest classification of emergency for a nuclear power plant. this is one step up from that. it's called an alert. the reason they declared an alert was basically because the plant lost offsite power from the electrical grid to this plant, but they assure us that it is now running on backup generator power which can last indefinitely. just a short time ago i spoke to dan stoddard, he's the senior vice president for nuclear operations for dominion nuclear power that runs this plant about the message he wants to convey to the public. what dough y you want to say to general public in the mid-atlantic region

north anna did trip which is what it's supposed to do and shut down automatically. so, everything's safe there. it was right at the epicenter. but there is still that question because east coast reactors are not as well protected and defended against an earthquake as, of course, west coast reactors and we have an aging nuclear system here. >> defiant moammar gadhafi calling on his supporters still to come to tripoli and fight back against the opposition. saying his regime will either, quote, win or become martyrs. a man claiming to be gadhafi made the remarks during a local radio station broadcast later on television as well. this comes after rebels stormed past the gate of the libyan leader's fortified compound only to find that gadhafi nor his family were inside. the purported gadhafi claimed the complex had already been destroyed by nato air strikes adding that his departure from the facility was a tactical move. the speaker gave no clues about calf daffy's location but did say he's toured tripoli and does not believe the city is in danger. in a separate intervie
