Earthquake concerns fuel new nuke plant risk ratings

WILMINGTON, Del. -- Federal regulators have ordered dozens of Central and Eastern U.S. nuclear plants to conduct new earthquake hardiness assessments based on recently increased risk ratings, including reactors along the Delaware River.

All 60 nuclear sites must submit plans by Dec. 31 for studies to prove they can shut down safely and maintain cooling for reactor cores and spent fuel in the event of a damaging shake. Owners have to account for specific soil and rock conditions at their sites, and make immediate upgrades if needed.
