Juicing Up Hamilton

Article

More pressure to juice up the Mac reactor in Hamilton. Why are these research reactors located in some of the worst seismic zones in the country? And do you think they put a speck of seismic design into these things?

When the Big One rips Hamilton, it will be a Fist of God earthquake like the one that hit Japan. It won't have a large extent, like Armenia, but it will be intense for Hamilton. I am not in favour of the Hamilton Option, until someone acknowledges the seismic hazard. Of course, once they do, they'll have to shut down the existing reactor. :) and maybe do some seismic prep for Toronto???
