AFAIK, fukushima was actually a very small "disaster", with negligigle human life loss (if I recall correctly, no life loss, except due to the evacuation panic)
- barkingcat 11y agoThere were some design flaws that were exposed with this incident. Would you, in conscience, turn back on a series of nuclear reactors that had their emergency backup generators located in an area that can easily be flooded? There are a lot of other human/social aspects involved as well. It's better to apply the lessons learned from Fukushima to a safer type of reactor, built better, designed safer, and operated with a different set of procedures and by a different company (not TEPCO, for example).
