This article is a review of the current state of our knowledge on the seismic status of the Jaitapur site, where a nuclear power plant is proposed to be built in the near future. Four special conditions are listed for the occurrence of earthquakes in a stable continental region like Peninsular India. With reference to the Jaitapur site the nearest rift zone is some 200 km away off the west coast with no known earthquakes. The nearest continental rift zone, namely the Kutch region is 800 km away. The site lies on the west coast, with no known earthquakes attributable to the coastal setting even though the available data is not long enough to draw strong conclusions.
