I think Chu is misinformed or spinning the truth. The San Francisco quake (only 200 miles away)was an 8. That is more than the 7.5 the san Louis nuclear plant is built for. <<Nuclear reactors built close to the coast in Southern California are near “slip faults” that produce quakes with magnitude less than Japan’s 9.0, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said yesterday on CNN’s “State of the Union” broadcast. “You simply don’t get nines from those kinds of faults,” Chu said. PG&E Corp.’s Diablo Canyon seaside nuclear plant in earthquake-prone California has been built to withstand “all environmental hazards in the region,” including a tsunami and an earthquake of as much as 7.5 magnitude, said Kory Raftery, a PG&E spokesman.
