- letrowekwel 3y agoNot as unsafe as using coal instead of nuclear, and pushing the world towards a climate disaster. Climate change has already done much more damage to Europe than Chernobyl.
- goatlover 3y agoGreens in Europe have something to answer for with all the anti-nuclear fear mongering.

TEPCO wanted to minimize cost. So instead of redesigning the reactor, they just used the same blueprints and built a giant sea wall to block tsunamis. They then refused to upgrade the sea wall. This is despite multiple earthquake forecasts by public and private authorities. They even started a sea wall upgrade project 1 year before the earthquake. It was cancelled due to "excessive costs".
- allears 3y agoFukushima was neither best precautions nor best designs. And, as multiple posters have said, still far fewer fatalities, and less environmental damage, than any fossil fuel.
