My concern are the Nuclear Reactors. N.C. has 4 reactors and 4 nuclear waste ponds, S.C. has 7 Nuclear Reactors and waste ponds as well. This could cause far more damage than mere hurricane rain and winds.

The ponds are kept cool by water swirling around them. If cold water can’t contain them, then the reactors and ponds can heat up and explode.

Keep praying!

You can be confident we won’t be experiencing a Fukushima. This is a storm with many days’ lead time to prep, not a tsunami generated by an unexpected large earthquake.

Good topic. Found a couple of stories:

S.C. has 7 Nuclear Reactors and waste ponds as well.

There's close to that many reactors at Savannah River. Just because they aren't running doesn't mean there's not a lot of radioactive material on site.

And that's just what the'll tell us about.
