World is ignoring most important lesson from Fukushima nuclear disaster

[NNadir]

40. Not really. The most important lesson is STILL that in a 9.0 earthquake and in a 15 meter

tsunami, it is still much safer to be inside three destroyed reactors than it is to be in buildings.

Unbeknownst to the anti-nuke cults, approximately 20,000 people died from collapsing buildings.

Getting lectures on mathematics from anti-nukes is a waste of time in any case.

After all, anti-nukes have never been able to grasp the fact that 3.3 million people die each year from air pollution, a fair fraction from the so called "renewable" biomass that anti-nukes are always trying to shove down people's throats and into their lung tissue.

Since they are preternaturally incapable of recognizing that nuclear power would need to kill as many people as World War II killed every 15 years to be as dangerous as fossil fuels, they're hardly competent to make any kind of mathematical comparisons.

It is though, unsurprising to hear anti-nukes complain about mathematics. Their hatred of mathematics on the grounds that they don't know any is rather similar to their hatred of nuclear science out of ignorance of it.

Of course, Fukushima does prove that nuclear plants can fail in a 9.0 earthquake and a 15 meter tsunami, particularly old ones. However, I have yet to find an anti-nuke who draws the lesson that dams are unsafe in the same kind of event, since the Fujinuma dam failed killing eight people, meaning that dams are also infinitely more dangerous than nuclear plants struck by a huge earthquake and tsunami.

There are zero anti-nukes calling for the phase out of coastal cities, even though more than 200,000 people have died in these in the last 10 years because of earthquakes and tsunamis.
