He  other two reactors on the site the a reactor and the a reactor Are several Miles from the fault a fracture or zone of fractures in Rock strata where pressure and displacement can cause Earth quakes. Details of the discovery were announced wednes Day afternoon by officials of Doe and Dupont which operates the facility. Geologists believe the fault is no longer Active audits last movement probably occurred about 30 million years ago according to the report. They plan to Drill Wells and excavate trenches to learn More about the fault including its history regional and geographic relationships and magnitude. A geology professor at the University of South Caro Lina  fault which is about 300 Yards deep at its lowest Point is too shallow to produce an earthquake of any significance. These Are extremely shallow faults said or. Pra deep Lalwani. " they just Don t have the Energy to have a Large earthquake.

The fault runs almost parallel to the previously known Border fault of the Dubarton Basin. Evidence of the pen Branch fault resulted from seismic reflection Survey and the study of 45 Wells drilled on the 300-Square-mile site in the past 30 years the report says. Geologists studied sediments that were Laid under the Ocean Between 35 million and 90 million years ago. Studies of the land surface including soil mapping an examination of Aerial photographs give no indication that the fault has been Active the report says. The discovery of the fault is not expected to affect the restart of Srp s three reactors Wright said. We see nothing right now that would make an difference he said. The three reactors at Srp have been shut Dow since August because of concerns Over their safety. The idling of the nation s Only Active tritium producing reactors has caused department of defense officials to be concerned about the Supply of tritium. The radioactive material decays at a rate of 5.5 per cent a year which Means that nuclear weapons must have their tritium receptacles replenished periodically. The preliminary report on the fault will be submitted to the bulletin of the geological society of America for publication later this year following pee review. Wright said preliminary findings Are Seldom re leased before peer and official reviews have been made.
