The American government has officially stated that fracking can cause earthquakes (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/08/its-official-human-activity-can-cause-earthquakes.html). Some fracking companies now admit (http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-11-07/europe/30368594_1_shale-gas-fracking-process-tremors) this fact The scientific community agrees.

We’re not aware of any potential impacts and don’t expect any,” said FirstEnergy spokeswoman Jennifer Young today. “We see no reason to be particularly concerned.” ***
[B] experts can’t say if the proposed well so close to two nuclear power plants is cause for concern.

DEP spokesperson John Poister told the Shale Reporter that there are no required setbacks specifically relating to a required distance between such shale wells and nuclear facilities, just a blanket regulation requiring a 500-foot setback from any building to a natural gas well.
