An explosive mix: Uncertain geologic knowledge and hazardous technologies

Article Highlights

  • Because of the limitations of geologic information, there must be a reassessment of the portion of nuclear plant planning that depends on it.
  • Countries that are considering acquiring nuclear power also need to reassess their plans, especially if they are located in tectonically active regions.
