Well, after this blog post, I here there was a P-3 airplane flying and taking photography over the site. Somebody should ask for pictures.

Duke Energy’s nuclear
plant in Brunswick County is now inaccessible due to flooding, which has left
workers stranded.
Highways 87, 133 and 211
to get to the Southport facility are all mostly impassable, although a few have
braved the elements and made it in and out. One worker, who wish to not be
identified, said they are fine despite the circumstances and got food delivered
via helicopter.
The worker estimates
about 250 people are at the plant between maintenance, security and operations

“We are all dirty and
tired,” the worker said. “We lost county water to the site yesterday, but we
just got it back.”
The worker made it clear
the plant is safe despite the effects from Hurricane Florence. Reactors were
shut down hours before hurricane-force winds hit the region.
A P-3 Orion aircraft flew
over the plant Monday to check on any damage from overhead.
