That may very well be the most insensitive comment that I have ever read.  Considering the likes of some posters around here, you far surpass them for being a complete and utter dolt.

Earthquakes are part and parcel.

Do you never learn?

If you want to crap up a thread about earthquakes then why not just stick to the one you're already sent to the PnR forum?

This is the only thing that I would agree with Ark about. Knowing you have earthquakes and building nuclear reactors there anyway  ???

I'm not sure they really had much choice. Unlike Australia, Japan has virtually no natural energy resources of its own. So if they want energy security then nuclear power is currently the only option.

That being said, I do wonder why so many of their reactors appear to have been built on the coast.

The reactors are built to survive much worse things than quakes.  Sounds like a coolant pump failed.  Probably caused by the quake, but not direct damage.  They're flooding the reactor core with sea water to keep things under control.  Radiation release seems to have been limited.
