Experts: New Fault Under SRP Declared Inactive
Geologists say a newly found Pen Branch fault beneath the Savannah River Plant has not shifted in 30 million years and poses no earthquake threat to SRP reactors. Led by Dr. Pradeep Talwani, researchers from USC Clemson and Furman say the fault is inactive and will not alter seismic upgrades, though follow up studies will continue. The findings will go to DOE advisory panels before any restart considerations.
