All of what you wrote makes sense to me, except that I think they need to
reevaluate every reactor on the planet in view of what has happened in
Japan, and, although I know they won't, shut down and replace any reactor
which isn't designed to withstand the maximum possible natural disaster
threat to that area. I can't think of a logical reason why that shoudl not
be a good idea. Of course those who are heavily invested in such facilities
will never allow it to happen.
There is a reactor near NYC which supposedly is at serious risk based on
faults which were discovered after its contruction, although I don't know
more than that as it was reported on the news. I'm not hysterically against
nuclear power as another poster misunderstands, but I am in favor of making
damn sure such a potentially dangerous energy source is operated under the
very latest and safest methods humanly possible, and I'm opposed to running
reactors which are not designed to withstand any potential threat as it is
presently understood.
