Why did they build a huge nuclear power plant next to the Pacific Ocean in a high-risk earthquake zone?

Fucking idiots.

So, it's okay for you to repeat inaccurate information?

Is there any topic you guys can't turn into a gigantic pissing contest? I actually came into this thread for substantive updates. I'm dumb.
[Reply]

Yes. BTW, did you think this thread wouldn't be a pissing contest after googlegoogle dissed the mods like he did?

Maybe the thread title should be changed to something a little more accurate.

The Japanese islands are all in a high-risk earthquake zone. They have minimal indigenous natural resources required for electricity generation. So, they rely on nuclear power to generate a lot of their electricity.

They built it next to the ocean for its water.

I suggest that you go over to Buck's thread instead: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=242583

Just ignore anything teedubya says if you substantive updates, however.

The original thread title was something like "Japan nuclear reactor goes Chernobyl." There was never any substantive information here.

They need the cold water from the ocean to cool the reactor.

BTW, here's a nice example of our equivalent:

Thanks Donger, I know why they did it, but I think they are realizing their FAIL right now.

It's kind of hard to prevent damage from a tsunami.
