SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 14 (Reuters) - The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Thursday said nine nuclear reactors in four U.S. states were shut following a massive blackout that hit the Northeast United States and Canada.

"At this point, we have nine reactors that are offline. And there is no timeline as to when these will return to service," NRC spokesman Scott Burnell said.

Burnell said the reactors are in New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Michigan.
