Fukushima

• sgjohnson 5y ago
  An unfortunate accident, and basically the worst case scenario for that reactor design. Not to mention there was an earthquake and a tsunami. And the fact that the current death toll stands at 1 (likely to increase though) and Fukushima is perfectly habitable now (and has been for a while now). Almost 20000 people died due to the earthquake and tsunami. Only 1 due to the nuclear disaster. Fukushima disaster should be a footnote in history. It’s not a valid representation of safety of nuclear power. As a European, I’m far more concerned about the dependence on Russian natural gas (Germany completely abandoning nuclear; Nordstream 2) than I am about a reactor blowing up.
