Good morning, guys.
I'm glad all my friends are here today.
The six earthquake within a week at Monticello Reservoir,
a magnitude 2.3.
They have an it listed here on USGS at 7 km north of Jenkinsville,
South Carolina, six people said they felt it the six earthquake
within the last week, and six people said they felt it.
It occurred at 04:23 a.m.
This morning, and many people, probably if they were woken
by it or thought they felt something and fell back to sleep
and forgot about it.
And then later wondered, Was it a dream?
No, it was not a dream.
This is a really interesting area.
And as you know, any earthquake has a 20% chance of being
a poor shock for something much larger.
The recent swarm of earthquakes.
I started with a magnitude 2.2.
There's this location that was on the 25th, then on the 26th,
there was a magnitude 1.8, followed on the 28th by another
1.8 again on the 28th, a magnitude 1.7, then a magnitude
2.1. And then today's 2.3.
This reservoir is a man made reservoir and as you know, weight
from water can cause stress and create earthquakes.
It is an artificial Lake created along the Border River and
is mainly used to cool the turbines for the summer nuclear
generating station, which is located in Jenkinsville.
That should be some concern when I seen that and found that
out, it's like, oh, my goodness.
So here we have Jenkinsville, and here is the earthquake
signature as it came in at two different locations near there.
The top one is Hodges, South Carolina.
This one here at the bottom is Pauline, South Carolina, and
it looks like the shaking lasted about 3 seconds, which is
south of that magnitude 2.3 earthquake.
And there we have the VC Somerville nuclear station, and
it looks a little ancient.
They just got a 20 year extension to continue using this
nuclear power plant.
It started producing power in January of 1000, 1084 kwh.
And it's a Westinghouse Three loop pressurized water reactor.
Many of you that have followed me over the years know that
I dated a fellow who built nuclear power plants and other
types of power plants.
He told me how they faked the welds for the pipes that failed
for these systems.
It says here on July 23, 2015, VC summer unit Two reached
a milestone with the successful placement of the CA One model,
one of the largest, heaviest and most complicated models
within the nuclear island.
Also referred to as a supermodel because it was so large
that huge sub models had to be shipped from the manufacturer.
And finally assembly was completed on site in the 20 storey
module assembly building in 2017, Westinghouse Electric revised
its in service dates to April 2020 in December 2020, units
for two and three.
In March.
In 2017, Westinghouse Electric Company filed for Chapter
Eleven bankruptcy.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines two emergency plan
zones around nuclear power plants.
A plume exposure path zone with a radius of 10 miles, 16
km concerned primarily with exposure to and inhalation of
airborne radioactive contamination and an ingestion pathway
zone of about 50 miles, 80 km concerned primarily with ingestion
of food and liquid contamination by radioactivity seismic
risk. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission estimate of the risk
each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage
to the reactor was one in 26,316, according to the NRC study
published in August.
Of course they would, but they don't live there, do they?
And we'll bring it out right there.
Is the earthquake among a 2.3.
So how far is about 50 miles?
And I drew it out here with Google Earth using the measurements.
Yeah.
Let's see.
In 86, there was a magnitude 7.3.
That was the Charleston earthquake.
It occurred at about 09:50 p.m.
Local time August 31, 1886.
The shock was felt as far away as Boston, Massachusetts to
the North, Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin to
the northwest and as far as New Orleans, Louisiana to the
west, as far as Cuba and south and as far as Bermuda to the
east. So severe that outside the immediate area, there was
speculation that the Florida Peninsula had broken away from
South America.
That's how strong that earthquake shook in right down here.
We have a nuclear power plant.
How stupid are people?
This evidently was an intra plate earthquake, which are rare
and is believed to have occurred on the false form during
the last breakup of the continents.
Pangaea.
The exact mechanism of intra plate earthquakes are the subject
of much ongoing research, meaning they don't really know
that much.
But as you know, these interplayed earthquakes have been
increasing. More and more and more ancient rifts have been
reactivated. Failed rift systems have been reactivated.
Yeah, I thought that was all very interesting.
