For those with high school math ability, it's doable to notice that 10000 sqm is the area of a square with side 100 m, so about a patch of 160 km by 160 km.

It's telling that the same argument didn't work in say, France, which has dozens of nuclear power plants (and a fuel reprocessing plant) on the coasts and yet continues having successful fisheries and tourism. You're implying

A magnitude 5.1 earthquake would not have done much to a GE Mark I BWR like the one in Fukushima - the 2011 magnitude 9 earthquake didn't damage the Fukushima Mark I. The tsunami did. This is a bad kind of fearmongering.

A substantial part of that can be explained by the decrease in labor force participation. A lower number of wage earning workers must support more non-earners, so various redistribution mechanisms do that.
