The Real Danger from Iran's Bushehr Reactor
(Foreign Policy) Ali Vaez - A 6.3-magnitude earthquake shook Iran on April 9, killing 37 people and injuring more than 900. Iran's sole nuclear reactor, located in Bushehr, almost 100 miles from the quake's epicenter, was unaffected. The Bushehr reactor is designed to endure earthquakes up to a magnitude of 6.7, so this was a very close call.
