What will happen if an earthquake causes reactor accident? Will it explode?
In case of an earthquake in the plant site the reactor will shut down automatically on earth-quake signal and the whole reactor building will be boxed up. Adequate safety measures are provided to bring the reactor under safe shut down. Reactor will not explode due to earthquake and this has been proved for earthquakes near KAPS, NAPS, Avmeniah reactor and Kobe, Japan.
