“Japan looks out for Japan. They haven’t gone woke.”

Pragmatic, efficient, business decisions... I have pondered and still to this day cannot comprehend the Fukushima location decision process.

It was built in the late 60’s and had ample protections for any reasonable seismic events. Unfortunately the magnitude of the quake and its proximity were a perfect storm. Once the defenses were breached the older design couldn’t handle it.
