hmmm...yes lets build a nuke on the coast in the ring of fire designed to withstand a 7.1 earthquake, never mind the tsunami...
an extremely idiotic decision for which the local people are paying for with their lives, and their children and their children's children etc etc etc...
consider that already 100 miles away from the plant food being grown is now heavily contaminated with unsafe levels of radiation.
100 miles away
why the hell Japan with 127 million people they would even use nukes is stunning considering they are surrounded by water. wave power, tide power, wind power, geo thermal, hydroelectric possibly...
this incident has just reminded what a bad idea nukes are in the first place.
1)they are extremely expensive to build
2)while accidents are few and far between, a bad accident is really fucking bad.
3)the u.s. is already at the emergency point for the storage of highly radioactive waste, and world wide this shit is going to lead to some major problems cuz other countries aren't even as diligent as the u.s. as far as nuke ops and waste disposal.
