Next Major Earthquake In Province Expected To Be Near Point Lepreau

The Conservation Council claims the next major earthquake will be in Passamaquoddy Bay and is raising doubts whether the Point Lepreau nuclear power plant would be able to be left standing in the aftermath.
 
Sharon Murphy of the Conservation Council argues Lepreau would not be able to withstand a quake closer than 25 kilometers with a magnitude of 6 and that's why seismic studies should be done before the plant comes back on line after being refurbished.   
 
NB Power has said seismic studies will be done but hasn't said when. It is a stipulation  of the nuclear power plant's license renewal by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
