Test Omega Seamaster Sm300
The failure of San Ramon, which borders the urban sector of Santiago, was described in a scientific investigation of the U. of Chile published in March 2010 in a U.S. magazine. If there is generated an earthquake, can reach 7 degrees.
just 200 meters built the only operating nuclear reactor in the country and she also puts a college where 3,500 students study. Few know it, but the failure of San Ramon underground geological structure that emerged about 25 million years, is active through seven communes in the eastern area of \u200b\u200bSantiago.
This failure, which contributed to the rise of the Andes for thousands of years, is studied by a team from the Millennium Science Nucleus seismotectonics and Seismic Hazard of the University of Chile.
The objective is to know what risks it generates a quake of magnitude (see graphic). In the latest study of that entity, published last March in the journal Tectonics, it is a complete characterization of this place: it has 10 kilometers of depth (superficial) and 30 km long north-south through the eastern part.
The route runs the sector places like Padre Hurtado, Las Condes, passes a few meters in the nuclear reactor of the Chilean Commission of Nuclear Energy, near the U. Adolfo Ibáñez in Peñalolén, and estates in Puente Alto.
geologist of the U. of Chile and a member of the research team, Rodrigo Rauld says that failure is a slow, but steady equivalent to 0.2 mm per year. According with features such as depth, size, movement over time and "jumps" or steep terrain (the youngest is three meters high), the expert says it's possible that if an earthquake occurs there, it could reach a magnitude of between 6 and 7 on the Richter scale. In any case, the Seismological Service of the U. of Chile has not reported a special move after Feb. 27.
In other countries where this type of active faults is land management plans that consider the evaluation of seismic hazard they pose to the installation of nuclear plants and even hospitals.
However, in Santiago a few municipalities and neighbors know what happens at your house or a few meters from his workplace.

Falla San Ramon: We are sleeping on the death

As we watched the disaster the cities of Concepción, Lota and many villages devastated by the earthquake and tsunami, we felt ashamed and powerless so much tragedy, but safe in our homes, in our Santiago. The situation was under control, he had touched others, far from our families. Maybe we lost goods, but not killed.
taught us that earthquakes are unpredictable, impossible to control but nobody told us that today the technology exists to save lives, to give timely warning to citizens, but that requires research, monitoring and implementing preventive measures.
Why so technology is not implemented the necessary steps to act against earthquakes? It is not difficult to understand.
years ago that there is more information on the air subjected to seismic damage, but this information does not reach people. Among the many reasons is the interest and real estate on the territories, protect the job to avoid conflict with the authorities or the petty interest not to affect the increase in value of investments.
today to save our lives, we must demand the withdrawal of the Nuclear Center of La Reina, Santiago City, built in the area of \u200b\u200bSan Ramon failure.
But it's too late for such thoughts, as we have on our shoulders much loss of life, very sorry for such desolation, it is time to take control and make changes to protect our lives and our families. It is no longer home, business or work, today is threatened our survival in this city by a geological fault, the failure of San Ramon. A geological fault that runs through the hills east of Santiago from the commune of La Florida to the Mapocho River, which flows through the Nuclear Center, the gas plant, homes, schools and buildings. Active faults found by the scientific world has knocked on the doors of politicians, authorities and so far nothing.
today against the indolence of the authorities, we are the citizens who must take charge. You have the vote to keep or remove authorities, make changes to the master plan and general matters of public interest. This gives it to the State Constitution through communal plebiscites. The law gives us the right to plebiscite Nuclear reactor removal of the Queen of the Commune and to require adequate structural rules.
today to save our lives, we must demand the withdrawal of the Nuclear Center of La Reina, Santiago City, built in the area of \u200b\u200bSan Ramon failure.
We must demand that anti-seismic measures considered this type of earthquake is not covered by current standards.
We require preventive measures such as monitoring centers fail, escape routes and changes in regulatory plans to prevent further loss of life.
Today, we must create legislation to protect life. We take care of our destinations. Unite to protect the life of Santiago and Santiago.
