It is akin to fearing flying in airplanes because a single crash is usually spectacular, but hundreds of thousands of flights safely occur every year.

France has an incredible amount of stable nuclear reactors, with good regulations, we could do so much more but instead let activists misinform/frighten the general public with the exceptions.

I dont see how an aircraft in flight is comparable to a seismic event.

Activists didnt create the damage in Japan that any Joe can watch on YouTube. Thats just brutal reality

Mother nature does whatever she wants without warning.
Sometimes in a very unpredictable fashion.
Japan seriously underestimated what the earth can do.
An epicenter under a nuke plant would make any architect look like an amateur.
