See this report at http://www.businessnewsguide.com _________________________________________ " It is impossible to have an underground nuclear test without creating an earthquake - not necessarily in the immediate vicinity but anywhere in the world. Of every 30 major earthquakes,some 21 or 22 follow a nuclear explosion. There are other reasons for earthquakes, but the vast majority are the result of underground nuclear testing. We need not test nuclear bombs. Self-interest is causing these earthquakes," said one geologist who has been monitoring the corelation. "The tragic earthquake in Gujarath is a terrible event It is indeed my information that nuclear testing is responsible for 25 per cent of all earthquakes, which is obviously an unacceptable amount.However, this particular earthquake in India is not the result of nuclear testing but is entirely from natural causes, in this case, the movement of the tectonic plates in that area of the world," saysBenjamin Creme Editor, Share International magazine, which has been monitoring earthquakes in different parts of the world. "My information is that the final death toll will most likely reach 60,000 when all the dead and missing are counted. Obviously the multi-storey buildings were not built withearthquakes in mind ‹ this is something that the Indian Government would need to enforce. According to experts, nuclear plants are generally built away from earthquake-prone areas and are designed to withstand a tremor should one occur. Plants also are designed to withstand whatever other natural forces are likely to happen in specific locations such as tornadoes, hurricanes, or floods. Nuclear plants located in areas with a history of earthquakes are built to withstand the maximum motion that could be expected and to be able to shut down safely. All vital devices,equipment, and machines are tested and approved to work during earthquakes, even for plants located away from likely earthquake areas.“The radioactive waste generated at various stages of nuclear fuel cycle are categorised as low,intermediate and high level waste. The low and intermediate level radioactive wastes are treated in ecofriendly ways and the small quantity of high level waste produced is immobilised in glass matrix by a process called vitrification,” says the Nuclear Power Corporation .” A plant for immobilising highly active waste in a glass matrix is operational in Tarapur. Based onthis experience, new nuclear waste immobilisation plants are being set at Trombay and Kalpakkam. Vitrified waste is stored in a specially designed solid storage surveillance facility for about 30 years prior to their disposal in deep geological formation,” it said. “The first such facility became operational at Tarapur in 1999 and can store waste generated during 40 years of operation of 2 nuclear reactors of 220 MWe capacity. Plants for disposing all types of radioactive wastes have been set up and are operating along with every nuclear facility in the country,” it said, clearly indicating that the nuclear waste generated from the Kakrapar nuclear plant is being deposited in some geological formations—read underground.

We need not test nuclear bombs. The scientists are producing refinements of their technology simply to keep the technology going, and with it their jobs.

Modern science has been misused for destructive purpose to such an such an extent that it is possible to create artificial earthquakes or Man made earthquakes: "Often individuals wonder whether construction of a reservoir, hydrocarbon production, or the injection of fluids into the ground caused an earthquake at a specific location. Several well-documented cases exist where such large engineering projects and damaging earthquakes are genetically related. In most of these cases, the engineering projects themselves most likely did not create the stresses that caused the earthquake, but rather changed local conditions in such a way as to allow an earthquake to occur."says a scientific report.
