Well that's not great, but it's hot horrifying.
What is horrifying?
Chernobyl wasn't 3 Roentgen it was 15000

They moved Baltimore to Japan?

If we can’t even count on the Japanese to be competent, uncorrupt, and forward looking so such an event would have never happened then we’re in for a world of hurt.
No one could have foreseen an event like that tsunami.
Wouldn’t that be an act of war?
Actually, I did. My ESP warned me of it for a long time before and I looked for it constantly, knowing it was going to happen. I even told people.
I am not certain any corruption was involved but there was a severe lack of safety and hazardous analysis thinking.
Today modern safety engineers develop analyses that consider the type of things that might go wrong. The consideration of a tsunami that was higher than ever seen would be understood. Storage of spent fuel rods would never be undertaken in the same area as the reactor and certainly would not be stored where water could accumulate and cover the fuel rods. I would also think the wall would have been built higher, (maybe some corruption was involved in the desire to avoid the expense, I do not know.)
However, we will need nuclear power soon, (if not already) and the cost of doing it right must be applied. People have looked at the density of other carbon free alternatives and they take over the countryside because of their low density. We will need the higher density in many places.
No.
Brad Pitts is an actor of war.
Kevin Costner is an actor of baseball players.
Actors are sometimes referred to as Thespians which is Greek for shirthead.
I’ll let Mark Sircus borrow my shotgun so he can off his soyboy self.
Fukushima happened due to an act of God; an earthquake and a massive tsunami accompanying it. There was nothing more they could have done to protect that power plant, and I understand that it was up to par when it came to safety.
This was not a Japanese version of Chernobyl.
"Tsunami." That's a Japanese word, isn't it?
“Yes, the article is dated, but it’s fascinating.”
And scientifically very sloppy.
Thespians are know to masticate.
In public.
Chew on that for a while.

I had a dream about it in 1980. After nothing happened for a year or two I figured there was nothing to it. Then it happened and I remembered that dream again.
Oh, I don't know. They could have remembered that they live in a country that's prone to earthquakes, with a history of tsunamis, and thought that maybe building a nuclear power plant right next to the ocean might not be a great idea.
The numerous engineering failures were all preventable, most especially the failed FMEA that allowed an loss of coolant accident to occur as the result of an unanticipated tsunami.
Engineers don’t try to predict what might happen, they design systems like this with sufficient redundancy that the worst case failure modes do not occur.
In public!!!
The police need to bite that in the bud.
