Aug 31 (Reuters) - The following lists nuclear power plants in the path of Hurricane Irene and
their status as of early Wednesday.
Some plants remained fully operational through the storm, while a few were shut or reduced power in advance of expected major storm surge.
In Maryland, Constellation Energy Nuclear Group's Calvert Cliffs 1 facility remained shut offline after a transformer was hit by a section of aluminum siding during the storm.
The North Anna nuclear plant in Virginia remains shut following last week's earthquake in the region. The plant cannot be restarted until the operator can show no functional damage occurred to equipment needed for safe operation. [ID:nN1E77S184]
