One thing I think we should try to plant the seeds of whenever we can is to suggest that what happened to Daiichi is not so much an "accident" as a facility damaged by a natural event. The plant functioned as designed. It shut down as planned and was in a safe, stable condition until natural forces beyond those reasonably planned for caused further damage. It is as wrong to call this an "accident" as it is to say the cities and towns flooded by the tsunami were "accidents". That may seem like arguing semantics, but calling things "accidents" when they really aren't leads to incorrect perceptions of causation and risk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-20511575492290208632013-09-09T13:17:04.096-04:002013-09-09T13:17:04.096-04:00I hope you folks contact and give moral air suppor...I hope you folks contact and give moral air support to the beleagued few Japanese pro-nuclear blogs over there!
