It surprises me that Japan doesn’t have a more robust nuclear program than it does.

We STILL haven't gotten seriously on board with nukes since the Three Mile Island hiccough.

The Fukishima disaster was considerably worse. The reaction to nukes is emotional to too many people. Serious NIMBY problems, too.

(For the record, I lived under two miles away from the Byron, IL nuke plant. It was a good neighbor.)

Virtually the entire country is either earthquake-prone or susceptible to tsunamis. They have a few nuclear reactors located as safely as possible, but are understandable reluctant to build more.

Fukishima put that on hold.

Well they had this thing happen to them in 1945 two times, that really left a bad taste in their mouth about anything nuclear. I’m not sure, I think it was on a couple of southern cities. I think involving B-29s.
