I know it's terribly, terribly wrong of me, and I absolutely shouldn't do it, but I'm a horrible person, so...

A Dominion Resources Inc. nuclear power plant in Virginia may have been subjected to ground motion greater than it was designed to withstand in last week’s earthquake, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said.

Dominion notified the agency that a review determined shaking from the 5.8-magnitude temblor “may have exceeded” design limits of the North Anna Power Station, the agency said today in an e-mailed statement. The NRC sent additional inspectors to the plant to assist agency officials in their investigation, the agency said.

Damn me!

Yes, I know it is awfully irresponsible of me to even dare to suggest in the wake of Fukushima that, as our nation considers a dramatic expansion in nuclear power generation, we might also want to reconsider the potential seismic hazards these plants are built to withstand. How terribly unsciency of me. I should just stick to something I know—like lying about Republicans—and leave the real debate entirely in the hands of the nuclear industry spokespeople who know what they're talking about. Bad Goldy.
