Thought of the Day
The nuclear reactors in Japan withstood the 9.0 Earthquake fine, from what I understand. They and the sea walls protecting them just couldn't take the subsequent tsumani. And there has been much angst and gnashing of teeth about that so far.
Wouldn't it have been a lot safer to just not build the reactors right at sea level? Most of Japan's nuclear plants seem to be right on the coast, but most of the United States' and France's ones are not.
