GE is only responsible for two nuclear reactors. The power plant itself is built by japan....

well japan, now u see who ur real enemy is
GE built those during the 60s. Technology wasn't as advanced back then.
And it was originally planned to have it closed down once it expires, but the Japanese government delayed the expiration not long before the tsunami. So Japan was taking a risk even when the tsunami isn't counted.

No one is to blame. A nuclear reactor is inherently not safe that's why they need secondary systems and backup systems and backup the backup systems. Even the spent rods need some kind of permanent supervised containment.
Most places in the world can do without Nuclear. Alternatives are: Hydro-electric, Clean coal, wind-solar even tidal. All they have to do is really conserve on unnecessary energy use. This includes Japan.
Mickey mousing a bomb to try to keep it from exploding just to heat steam and run it thru a turbine to generate electricity. Yes, such stupidity will eventually raise Godzilla from the depths.

I agree.
Another thing I worry about nuclear reactors is that their nuclear waste stay radio active for a long long time. Many facilities have run out of space to store these harmful materials. It doesn't get out in the news much, but I remember when certain countries were looking for other countries that would accept their nuclear wastes. People protested against this.

Generally it's the market economy to blame (with exception of iran and japan whose military is to be blamed for their nuclear weapons ambitions)
What I mean is, people build nuclear power plants because it is the cheapest, which means highest margins for corporations. The japan m9 quake is a once in 1000 year event, no business people will take this kind of risk into account, even if shxt happens, TEPCO just gets bailed out by the government and TEPCO's investors have limit liability (the president of TEPCO 40 yr ago probably got his pension already, why shd he care?) , so the market is driving nuclear power plants every where in the world.
Politicians can not say no to the corporations (TEPCO in our case), because the corporations (and their technology providers in the U.S) will bribe the government, and every now and then blackmail certain politicians e.g revealing their sexual misconducts etc , you name it, in order to get permits from the government.

disagree, the "clean energy" alternatives cannot really make up for loss of nuclear and fossil fuels... yes, nuclear is dangerous, but newer reactor designs are much safer than fukushima and would be able to cool even with loss of external power, according to an engineering professor i know, they are 50-100 times safer than fukushima...

When you take into account the cost of building the stations, decommissioning them and storing the nuclear waste, I'm not sure that is correct.
A few years ago the UK government tried to privatise British Nuclear Fuels. The only way they could do this was to write-off the decommissioning costs and have the Government ie taxpayer pick up the costs.

I could be taking a shot in the dark here but I would blame the giant tsunami. You know, the one after the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan and fifth most powerful in the world for the past hundred years. I'm sure the Japanese took every possible precaution more than most other countries would do.Stormfront is a typical extremist forum warped on objective perspective. It's usually a waste to interact with such people for long periods of time, similar to spending too much time talking to people in insane asylums. Better to not care about their opinion too much.

Here's the dilemma then isn't it? Coal is plentiful but dirty. Water is destructive to the environment (Three Gorges). Wind is unreliable. Solar is expensive. Nuclear is clean but risky. Japan went for nuclear, but it's not like they had a lot of options.

Another co-option is conservation. People are using way more power than they need. If we cut back on power and waste, the other power options become do-able.
A few examples of waste I've seen:
1). People in L.A. blasting the Air-conditioner to 70F while wearing a jacket.
2). People firing up the heater in Colorado to 90F and wearing shorts and tank-top.
3). People continuously running the water while washing dishes.
4). People continuously running the water while brushing their teeth.

Germany to close all nuclear plants by 2022
BERLIN (AFP) – Germany on Monday became the first major industrialised power to agree an end to nuclear power in the wake of the disaster in Japan, with a phase-out due to be completed by 2022.
Chancellor Angela Merkel said the decision, hammered out by her centre-right coalition overnight, marked the start of a "fundamental" rethink of energy policy in the world's number four economy.
"We want the electricity of the future to be safer and at the same time reliable and affordable," Merkel told reporters as she accepted the findings of an expert commission on nuclear power she appointed in March in response to the crisis at Japan's Fukushima plant.
"That means we must have a new approach to the supply network, energy efficiency, renewable energy and also long-term monitoring of the process," she said.
The commission found that it would be viable within a decade for Germany to mothball all 17 of its nuclear reactors, eight of which are currently off the electricity grid............

You can blame the Anglos, the whites or the Yanks blah blah blah for not having the solution. See, Japan would have done a wonderful job if someone else already went thru a tsunami or flood detroying all the backup systems and Japan could copy them. Japan is the best in the world! But since there was no one to copy from, they were left to their own devices and had the foggiest idea what to do. That explains all the delay. In desperation their true colors showed, for ex selling radioactive beef. We did not witness this kind of thing in Russia or US in their nuke disasters. The Japanese. government warned these farmers and they still went ahead. How backward can you get? Whatever happened to the ships Tokyo send to collect the radioactive water? Did they dump the poison in the ocean? Japan has no one but themselves to blame.
