I am Japanese, who was in Japan and experienced Fukushima melt down in 2011(although I was not in Fukushima, Tokyo). From my perspective, people in HN village are missing a very crucial point. Nuclear power is not a problem of engineering or math, it is a problem of human nature. Yeah, I can understand the technology can control nuclear reaction 100% well, but who operate reactors? Who decide how reactors should be operated? Who develop software to control reactors? The answer is people! People in HN are so smart and very rational, so they cannot see sometimes irrational decisions are made(as happened in Fukushima) and they cannot understand some idiots do terribly stupid things(as happened in Tokaimura JOC accident). As long as human beings are involved, nothing can be perfect and safe. Also, I see in some comments people think impacts of nuclear accidents and wastes can be limited and localized. In Japan, as of 18/08, 60000 people still live in temporary housing due to Fukushima incident. We still struggle to remove debris out of nuclear power plants, and it's said it will take around 30-40 years. For me, the impact of this disaster is anything but "trivial". *edit: grammer
