I think you mean tectonic reasons. Bodega Head is on the San Andreas Fault, not far from the epicenter of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake with an estimated moment magnitude of 7.9. Wikipedia has a graphic of the San Andreas fault showing a %21 chance of rupture before 2032: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Andreas_Fault#/media/File:Eq-prob.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Andreas_Fault#/media/File:...
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodega_Head https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodega_Head:
"During the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the promontory shifted approximately 15 ft (4.6 m)".
I'm surprised this was ever considered for a nuclear generation facility.
