The United States Geological Survey estimates that earthquakes as large as magnitude 7.5 are possible in the ETSZ. Even though Oak Ridge, Tennessee experiences these earthquakes, the nuclear reactors in the city are rated to handle 8.0 magnitude earthquakes. So, if a 7.5 magnitude earthquake were to occur, a meltdown would be highly unlikely.
