Why to allow nuclear power plants in a seismic Japan?

Opinion. We follow up the most credible and important news sources on Japan nuclear accident, yet we have not higher references to judge on how updated we are. Probably, Japanese administration has a very strictly process to review and approve public information in a way that the good news go fast and the bad ones do not go so fast.

The first reactor explosion has taken almost 36 hours to be stated explicitly by the administration and the deployment of electricity to the reactors has gone almost in real time.

The most important fact it is that now there exist some real expectations to control this debacle.Jorge C. Palma

But, we are almost sure they are many people jeopardizing own life to avoid a black fate to this country and to the humankind.

Here the question is: Why to allow the construction of nuclear power plants in a seismic Japan?

It is well know how much savvy scientific and technicians are able to conclude and explain why is sure any stuff that cannot fail, but it does.

Personally, I have seen institutions trying to demonstrate that the protective shell of some nuclear reactor will not get resonance –under probable load combination- and that it will not be dangerous. Fortunately, the "intelligent solution" did not pass.

It is not the civil either industrial engineering what has been failed this time. Do us, the people who trespass the red lines and play with fire anyway sometimes.

You cannot stop earthquakes and nuclear threats no matter how intelligent somebody can say he is, and we could remember A. Einstein paraphrasing:

"The solution to any problem should be as intelligent as possible, yet not more".

The bottom line and lesson is -by now- that Japan and similar seismic regions must made trade-off to the market and migrate the nuclear power plants to other alternative energy sources and solutions.

The Japanese cannot afford themselves of nuclear power risks, further the earthquakes and tsunamis all of them once more time and again.

Nor much less, neither much more.
