Quotes:
 “In the dark mantle of the Earth, pressure builds in silence. When it breaks, the world learns how fragile its certainties are.”
“We design for what we expect, but nature plans for what we’ve forgotten.”
“Safety is not the absence of danger; it’s the discipline of imagining the unthinkable.”


Summary
Nuclear Power at the Fault Line reveals the hidden risks of nuclear reactors built in earthquake, tsunami and volcanic hazard zones. 
When nuclear power meets the restless forces of the Earth, the stakes could not be higher. The book takes readers inside one of the most urgent global challenges of our time: the hidden vulnerabilities of nuclear reactors built in regions prone to earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
Blending science, policy, and human stories, this book shows how “cliff-edge effects”, the moment when safety margins collapse, can transform a natural event into a nuclear disaster. It also explores the technological advances and policy reforms that could strengthen resilience, while warning against complacency as reactors age and climate change intensifies hazards.
