Nuclear Reactors

1)Nuclear reactors potentially in dangerous areas are Japan, South Korea, and Pakistan.

2)I don't think they will try to move the nuclear reactors but they would be on high alert of natural disatsers like earthquakes, tsunamis, and severe storms.  They will build borders around it and make the outlayers of the nuclear reactor stronger.

3)The most dangerous issue for a nuclear reactor is groundwater leaks because raidoactive material may go into water in the enviorment.  It can also slowly start moving onto public lands and into our drinking water.

4)The cloest reactor is San Onofre in San Clemente, California.  There was a 3.3 earthquake near San Clemente, California.  The reactors in California should move or build barracks to support the reactors from earthquakes because there has been many earthquakes there because California is near the "ring of fire" which is the an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.  Well any reactor in California is very likely to be hit with an earthquake because many earthquakes occur near the "ring of fire".  So the reactors in California should be on high alert.
