After all, it's just a local problem on the other side of the world, right? Doesn't concern any of us. Could never happen to us. Nah...
It is pretty rich to go from talking about "ignorant and stupid" posts to stating the above.
Fukushima was a perfect storm of things which on their own would have been comparatively inconsequential.
The reactor buildings were designed to survive an earthquake because they had diesel generators to maintain power. (the diesel generators were knocked out by the tsunami)
The reactor buildings were designed to survive a tsunami because mains power should have held in that situation. (the mains power was cut off by the earthquake)
The reactors themselves were a design which has been obsolete since the 70s and were due to be decommissioned in the weeks following. (new reactors have none of the problems which these did)
Those are facts, the reason it happened was because they combined in a freak event which was unpredictable.
Your stated dislike of nuclear because of the bad things which
could happen is just daft, its like the people who say we shouldn't go into space because it might disturb aliens and lead them to us. We can't predict that, but we do it under the knowledge that such an event is so unlikely to occur. The calculated risk of Nuclear is lower than any other power source, it has killed fewer per GJ produced than any other power source and out of the hundreds of built reactors there have been a handful of accidents which have resulted in actual damage to people/land/ect and all have occurred in reactors with serious inbuilt deficiencies.
Personally I have nothing against renewables, but I have to be realistic in seeing that they will never grow to the levels which will sustain us and they have to be augmented with the least worst option, which in the opinion of many who are much smarter than we are is Nuclear.
