What in the World is Wrong with All the Sick MF's who created Agent Orange, and Nuclear Bombs, and just treated it like cleaning up a kitchen spill! I don't care if the Radiation is Alpha Beta, or Omega! It is all Wrong! Since this stuff is so harmless, they should just use it as an anti caking agent and put in everyone's Salt shakers!
Did some NBC exercises in my Navy days, usually with some very gore movies as illustration.
Tsunamis are commonly caused by earthquakes. Indonesia has both, so the slight addition may be in order
One can easily locate a facility far enough away or high enough to disregard tsunamis threats. Not so with earthquakes.
The Boxing Day tsunami on December 26, 2004, in Aceh was triggered by a powerful undersea earthquake with a magnitude between 9.2 and 9.3 on the Richter scale, with its epicentre located off the west coast of northern Sumatra. On average, the tsunami waves reached heights of 9 to 12 meters, but in certain coastal areas, they reached up to 30 meters. Now, imagine if a nuclear power plant had been situated in that region, has any nuclear facility ever been designed to withstand an earthquake and tsunami of such extreme magnitude?
Rivers work and many of them or all of them are inland. But maybe the question should be, how many tsunamis are you expecting? How many since the inception of nuclear plants have their been in Indonesia. Earthquakes for sure, tsunamis, not so much. Krakatoa's last big blast created a wave of 100 meters. You forgot to figure that one in or how about Krakatoa back in like 800 or so when it removed the land mass between Java and Sumatra. Let's figure that one in. Damn and some volcanos don't create shit, just villages and people frozen in stone. Sure, volcanos don't nessasarily create earthquakes but there are a lot more of them to worry about than earthquakes and for sure, tsunamis caused by earthquakes.The Boxing Day tsunami on December 26, 2004, in Aceh was triggered by a powerful undersea earthquake with a magnitude between 9.2 and 9.3 on the Richter scale, with its epicentre located off the west coast of northern Sumatra.

Also nuclear power plants are often, built near coastal areas (or lake) due to their need for a large and reliable source of cooling water. The immense heat produced during nuclear fission must be dissipated, and the most efficient way of doing it is using water.

A very good point! Humans, Do Not have the right to contaminate anywhere for Thousands of Years! A natural disaster is one thing, But a Nuclear disaster, regardless if it is from Bombs, or Reactors, is an abomination that should never be Allowed! Anyone that downplays this, is in Denial! They should be forced to watch videos of what the effects on a Humans flesh looks like after exposure from Start until Death! And hear the sounds these sufferers make! I'm sure it's not a pleasant sight!
Does that includes on forums ?
