And they can build earthquake resistance. Who knew. They were doing that 40 years ago. It is not something new.

"However, there are currently only two nuclear power plants (NPPs) equipped with such technology, and these were designed about 40 years ago [Citation3]."

Yes but it will now be safe for another 5 years or so.

The area is also a huge mining region with the inplace power distribution built close to coal mines. This means that some of these areas likely have tunnels honeycombed under or near these sites or huge open cut mining holes.

Originally they built the power plants near to the fuel (coal supply) and built the power distribution next to the power plants. Now the plan is to put the nuke power plants near to the distribution which is where the coal was being mined.

Australia as a whole is not a known & regular high category earthquake region.

Nothing at all in comparison to those countries on the Ring of Fire or known large continental fault zones ....

where they either already have Nuclear power plants or are considering it in their future energy development plans.

Newcastle has had 4 high grade earthquakes with 14 people killed.

The last one a week ago was a grade 5 and occurred deep under an old coal mine.

i.e. deep under the type of topology where they want to build a nuclear plant.

I agree that Newcastle should be a low risk area but the historical frequence suggests that this assessment is likely incorrect.
