Woah. Take it easy mate.
To be clear there is no "safe" option. But this 60+ year old nuclear facility survived the 4th largest earthquake in record history, a tsunami, and only failed because the placements of the back, back up generators. Other plants (e.g. the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plan) that were closer to the epicenter survived just fine.
Old outdate plants aren't perfect, but even still its better than the guaranteed best case scenario for fossil fuels.
- Tomte 8y ago> survived the 4th largest earthquake in record history, a tsunami, You make it sound like this is unbelievably improbable. Like "multiply the probabilities of an earthquake and a tsunami". In fact, this is a prime example for a common cause failure.
- Jaepa 7y agoI was referring to the amount of abuse it took, not the likely hood of the events.
