Seeing as how my anecdotal situation was a first hand account of the many perils it entails, briefly outling why some of us still have bad PTSD about it, and how that situation ultimately led to the closure of the plant, I'd say: absolutely.
You have a very glib understanding of this situation, and it shows if you still ask such a vapid question.
You have no idea of the amount of corruption that goes on with the NRA at all. Just look how they're handling the wasted material, they're literately burying in casks on site it leaving it in pools and saying 'well, that's good enough' along one of the most active fault lines in N. America right net to the Pacific Ocean!
Edison try to wash its hands of the situation entirely by blaming Mitsubishi who also tried to remove itself from any culpability... and this has gone until recently, like last month. All while nothing got done for nearly 7 years.
And in Japan its worse with the Nuclear village and TEPCO's influence on the Abe cabinet.
You may not know this, but back in 2011 many Japanese women refused to have children after Fukushima, and not just those from Fukushima prefecture (a country with already horrible fertility rates) because of the fallout they saw first hand with the birth defects of the Hibakusha. The amount of deformed babies from WWII is staggering, the amount of displaced people is terrifying, but the fact that they allowed for this technology to be used for commercial applications in a country where Nuclear bombs were used against them in Warfare all while geo-thermal literately covers the entire country is just fucking CRIMINAL.
I still remember 3/11 vividly, as the leak at San Onofre happened not long after and we had to take to protesting against SONGS at personal danger to ourselves--they started to monitor and follow anti-nuclear protestors that later led to mass detainment and interrogation.
I'm sure you can grasp all of that by looking at a spreadsheet on excel.

- saagarjha 6y agoOh, I'm aware of the corruption that follows nuclear programs–every effort of that size and expense has it; it's all but inevitable. But I still maintain that "a spreadsheet on excel" is a much more accurate way of ascertaining risk than your personal experience. Mostly because your personal experience doesn't include the people who in coal-related deaths every year.
