A blockade started at a nuclear power plant construction site
in Diablo Canyon near San Luis Obispo, California.
Nearly 10,000 people tried to prevent fuel rods from being loaded
into the two reactor cores.
Over two weeks, 1,901 are arrested in the largest occupation
of a nuclear power site in U.S. history.
Their immediate major concern was over the region being
seismically active and the plant’s location near the Hosgri fault.
In 2004 a 6.5 (on the Richter Scale) earthquake was centered less
than 40 miles from the plant.
Four other faults nearby have since been identified. continued> http://bit.ly/
