Second Japan atomic plant at fault risk: experts

Second Japan atomic plant at fault risk: experts

Tokyo (AFP) Dec 14, 2012
A second nuclear plant in Japan sits atop a possibly active seismic fault, government-appointed experts said Friday, days after the first facility was said to be at risk. A panel appointed by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said fractured strips of earth beneath the Higashidori plant's compound in northern Japan may be active faults, meaning it would likely have to be scrapped. http://www.nuclearpowerdaily.com/reports/Second_Japan_atomic_plant_at_fault_risk_experts_999.html
