[NukeNet] Desperately need seismic expert

[Citizens' Nuclear Information Center]

Japanese scientists have their hands full with Japan's own seismic  
problems. However, some have expressed an interest in making contact  
with scientists overseas looking into the connection between  
earthquakes and nuclear power plants. If you find any scientists  
looking into the situation in California, please let us know.

By the way, besides regular seismologists, we have found that  
specialists in the field of geomorphology have been able to identify  
active faults where the government and power companies could not (or  
would not). They have identified active faults around several nuclear  
power plants and pointed out that others were much longer than claimed.
