Hurricane closes Oyster Creek and Calvert Cliff 1
Two nuclear power plants have shutdown as Hurricane Irene continues to track up the US east coast. Oyster Creek, operated by Exelon in New Jersey, was powered down at around 17:00 EST, Saturday, as high winds approached. CENG's Calvert Cliff unit 1 reactor, based in Maryland, shut down automatically after aluminium debris hit a transformer.
