I'm torn on Japan right now. On the one hand, nuclear power is considerably safer and more ecologically viable than coal or oil, and the amazingly low death toll from Fukushima (which was a terrible design in a terrible location) was incredibly low. On the other hand, TEPCO is obviously manned entirely by malicious idiots who'd rather let a problem becomes a disaster than admit that they made mistakes.

In short, nuclear power isn't a problem, but if your country can't run their nuclear plants properly, maybe you shouldn't have nuclear power...

the scientifically unreported short term low death toll, but who knows what effect it actually has on the environment, oceans and other countries in the long run

We already know the effect on the oceans and other countries. Nothing. The radiation levels are negligible outside of Japan.
