Jaitapur snippets

Validating what environmentalists have feared all along, a US geologist has said in his paper that an earthquake of magnitude 6 plus on the Richter scale can occur in Jaitapur. A paper co-authored by geologists Roger Bilham of University of Colarado and Vinod Gaur of Indian Institute of Astrophysics presented the possible dangers, warning that these be taken into account while constructing a nuclear power plant. The paper was published in Current Science, an Indian journal published by Current Science Association and the Indian Academy of Sciences.
