The NCR indicates that the alert status is at the second level of the gravity scale, which has four levels. In fact, before alerting him, he declared an anomalous state for the strong increase in water levels, since due to the ventures and floods caused by Hurricane Sandy, yesterday the water level reached the 182 cm inside the plant, recognizing that if continuing to rise there could be problems with the cooling system of the fuel used. However, they expected that in the coming hours the water level will decrease, and since then the NCR has not varied the state of the center.Oyster Creek is the oldest central plant in the United States and, coincidentally, with the reactors stopped these days to realize the usual fuel change. Therefore, they have not had to order the detention of reactors. However, in another plant near New York, in India Point, they had to stop one of the units, since they had problems in the electricity supply. Sandy is tracking all the power stations that are on the path of the hurricane and reporting on its situation. Yes, even though they have assured that the emergency plan is underway and that everything is under control, many media have remembered the Fukushima disaster.
