: " 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 vastmajority are the result of underground nuclear testing. nuclear testing is responsible for 25 per cent of all earthquakes, which is obviously an unacceptable amount. 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, orfloods. 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 plantslocated 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 on this 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 becameoperational 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 insome geological formations—read underground.

with it their jobs. Self-interest is causing these earthquake," says one geologist who has been
monitoring the corelation.

MAN MADE EARTHQUAKES

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 theearthquake, but rather changed local conditions in such a way as to allow an earthquake to occur."says a scientific report.
