Huh. You're right. This is explains why a post I made yesterday hung up, and I ended up rewriting it in the most bland way possible. Strange.
As for that, it was hit by a large earthquake and tsunami..... Thus far there are no deaths attributed to it. Had the plant been of one of the newer designs, this would not be a problem, but I do think it illustrates one of the issues we're facing in the US. Most of our plants are rather old and do not take advantage of the decades of development that have created a design that can withstand natural disasters. With this in mind, we should probably shut down and replace any nuclear power plant that is near a fault line.
