RICHLAND, Wash. – Energy Northwest is pleased to announce that a “seismic safety” page was added to its public website today. Intended to provide thorough information on Columbia Generating Station’s seismic safety standards, the page is available from the “Columbia Generating Station” page from the “Our Energy Projects” tab on the agency’s homepage and is located at: http://www.energy-northwest.com/ourenergyprojects/Columbia/Pages/Seismic-Safety.aspx. 

The new page is divided into five main sections: Design and Construction, Fukushima Comparisons, Seismic Inspections, Seismic Instrumentation and Current Seismic Study Efforts.
