''The nuclear power plant has been built in compliance with anti-seismic and geological characteristics of the land on which it is located'', Krko management underlined. The earthquake which occurred on Tuesday, despite its intensity, did not cause any harm to people or property. There was some minor damage near the epicenter, where there was some flaking plaster about old buildings and some tiles fell out. (ANSA).
