bolt: I think after this disaster they will give up the nuclear power plant after all.
In favour of what?
 
sand:


And there seems to be no other source of energy (in appropriate quantities) for the Japanese.

The problem may have been that the stations were not designed for such an earthquake.

Probably they will be forced to switch to conventional fuels and will buy them from Russia and other countries in exchange for their high-tech products.
 
PapaYozh:

Yes they have the whole country in an 'exposed zone'.

But not all of them are tsunami-prone...

...The problem may have been that the stations were not designed to withstand an earthquake of this magnitude.

The plant was built in the USA in 1966 and has been extended at least three times. Governments (they change periodically in Japan) have repeatedly demanded that the operator decommission the old units, but have not been able to do so, too much is tied up in them.

Hooray... Hooray... Hooray...

Soon we'll be buying cheap iPods ))))

For a couple of kilos of coal :))

 
Hiroshima, Nagasaka, now the second Chernobyl. This is a major disaster with far-reaching consequences for an island nation and conclusions must be drawn. The Japanese must say firmly: "Atom no".

Australian. Ours is twice as expensive, not many people buy it.
 
Europa:

But not all are prone to tsunamis...

Yeah. The funny thing is that the nuclear power plants withstood the earthquake itself: they were designed for a nine. But there was a tsunami, which knocked out the power and probably damaged the backup generators.

Another question is why they built the NPP on the seashore, where a tsunami in such a powerful earthquake is the usual and most powerful factor of destruction...

And in general this meltdown is quite bad. So, we will have to flood the reactor area with concrete, like in Chernobyl.

 

What will happen to Japan's economy? Will the country descend into chaos? Will it cope with the threat of radiation poisoning? German experts offer four scenarios. Read about it in Spiegel.

...And actually this meltdown is not good at all. So we'll have to fill in the reactor area with concrete, like in Chernobyl.

Yeah, in suits of superior protection, with armoured vehicles to build a sarcophagus with a powerful cooling system, filtration and ventilation installations, information and control centre, and every 50 years to reconstruct it. And so throughout the foreseeable future.
