Article Highlights
- Geology is an imperfect science full of "unknown unknowns" and geologic events cannot be predicted with any accuracy.
- Because of the limitations of geologic information, there must be a

it.
- Countries that are considering acquiring nuclear power also need to
reassess their plans, especially if they are located in tectonically
active regions.
