As a follow-up to this post, I thought I’d be worth also sharing this story, “What are the odds? US nuke plants ranked by quake risk,” from msnbc’s site. Here’s the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42103936/ns/world_news-asiapacific/
My advice: if you live in one of these areas: 1) Move; 2) If you can’t affort to move, work diligently to get the investments necessary to build the back-up generators which can survive a major quake and tidal wave (which the Japanese plants didn’t have) to make sure the cooling processes keep functioning in an emergency; 3) Buy a helicopter and get a pilot’s license for fast escape.
