And it was a result of corporate cost cutting and greed. The CEOs also walked away without criminal charges. You should also look up Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant. It was closer to the epicenter than Fukushima No1, and was hit with a larger tsunami. It survived because the plant director fought management, enforced strict safety regimens and performed emergency drills every 3 months. Nuclear Power works, as evidenced by nuclear power plants and nuclear powered vessels across the planet. They are not exploding at random. The problem is exclusively human. For profit corporations cannot be trusted with nuclear power. Lowest common denominators in governments cannot be trusted with nuclear power. (Japan, a prime example. I know because I live here.) So who do we trust? A robust system of private and public organizations. Will never happen here. All the nuclear authority directors have been idiots, purchased, or claimed the position through party politics.
