Soon after our office stopped shaking in today’s second earthquake, I started to wonder again about Ontario’s nuclear plants.  OPG says we shouldn’t worry: “There have been no earthquakes greater than a Magnitude 4 within 50 km of the Pickering nuclear power station over the last 100 plus years.”  This morning’s earthquake is reported to have been a magnitude 3; the afternoon earthquake is now being reported as 5 or 5.5.
