Smart...and necessary.Just don’t build plants in danger zones.
Alas, most of Japan is in quake and/or tsunami danger zones. Problem at Fukushima was they downscaled their nightmare. They had old tales and old markers showing tsunamis even worse than this, but didn’t plan for them. Their floodwall was too low and their backup generators were positioned too low.
The best thing in this change is working towards next generation nuclear plants. A variety of paper options there which reduce or eliminate meltdown risks. Japan can probably get them to work. And then get rich selling them to us once we throw off the green Biden yoke.
It seems like the entire planet is a danger zone. :)
>>Just don’t build plants in danger zones<<
As far as nuclear plants go, Japan IS a danger zone.
Nuclear is a great source of energy...that is until you have a Fukushima, 3 mile or Chernobyl level 7 disasters.
Not to mention tons and tons of radioactive waste being buried in various places with half-life decay of thousands of years.
