Martyh you will be suprised not advocating not build them there no alternative yet.
Fussion power not ready yet talk will be thirty years before reactor. Although regardless blurbs still risks. We could limp on wait be first to build these plants be groundbreaking or we go fo nuclear now.

Alternative build the most modern reactors ever even japans was not that latest. Japans was generation 2. We could build these.

What saying we cant be closed to it wont happen on our shore nobody say we will get 9 level earthquakes they extremely rare even in fault lines.
What we saying we have had 6.1 thats not like the fault line 7's but we cant stick head in sand say we wont get 7's. This damaged property on land god knows what would happened if this hit land this 6.1 in 1931.
All those links telling they can happen anywhere intraplate have had little studies on them. We now finally get some studies but like one link scientist bickering. People want risk assessment map but you cant do it they dont leave scars.
Infact new zealand christchurch earthquake was caused by actually brand new tectonic plate. Maryland example was found to be old fault re-awaken.
You do know there is dormant faults in uk. We dont know if any will re-awaken they may stay quiet for another 1,000 years great would be more than pleased if they kept quiet in my and families lifetime. We may waken tomorrow it becomes active.
Quote:
The UK is not currently on an active plate margin, but the plate tectonic setting has changed drastically through time (it has been part of subduction zones and mountain belts), there are a number of old fault lines running through the UK.
Some examples:
The Moine Thrust
The Highland Boundary Fault
The Great Glen Fault
The Church Stretton Fault
The first three of these are in Scotland while the last is in Shropshire. All of them have had large amounts of movement in the past. There are a great many other smaller fault lines in the UK and despite not being on a plate boundary, strains can still build up in plate interiors big enough to cause small ruptures on old lines of weakness.
