    A catastrophic earthquake caused a massive tsunami which hit a 40-year-old reactor and caused the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.

    One person died as a result of the nuclear portion of the disaster.

    One.

    The perfect storm of shit hitting the fan killed one person. Modern reactor design and safety is so much better than Fukushima Daiichi, and outside Japan, there’s no reason to build a reactor within 100 miles of a tsunami danger zone.
