Earthquake with epicentre near proposed nuclear site rattles eastern Australia

Epicentre located about 36km from one of seven locations where federal opposition proposes building nuclear power plant if elected

The quake’s epicentre has been located about 36km from
Liddell, the site of a decommissioned coal-fired power station and one of
seven locations where the federal opposition has proposed building a
nuclear power plant if elected. Opposition leader Peter Dutton last year
named Liddell as a candidate for Australia’s first nuclear energy
facility under the Coalition’s plan to replace ageing coal infrastructure
with nuclear reactors. The site has since come to be a flashpoint in the
national energy debate.
