Seismic Zoning and Nuke plants

Map below shows the location of operational and under constructional power plants as regrd to the earth quake zoning (seismic zones ).


As seen from above, Jaithapur power palnt falls in zone iv , which had created lot of uproar in the area. Other places are relatively safe if this is accurate enough. India should take detailed study about its site worthiness before venturing into new projects.
