CNN.com - Nuclear plant to shut down for Rita - Sep 21, 2005: "(CNN) -- Officials at a Texas nuclear power plant in the path of Hurricane Rita prepared Wednesday to shut down two reactors.
The South Texas Project plant serving 1 million customers is built on elevated ground in Bay City, 12 miles inland from the Texas coast. It is designed to withstand storm surges from Category 5 hurricanes.
'We have a specific plan in place on what to do with a hurricane approaching,' spokesman Alan Mikus said. 'Our plan calls for the complete shutdown of the plant in advance of the storm's arrival.'"
