We have 105 active nuke plants, and Japan had about 50, and only ONE of them went bad and it is costing Japanese people over 700 billion so far and will top over 1.8 billion or more before it will all be cleaned up - if that is even possible. Japan’s government ministries have requested an unprecedented $995 billion to meet budget needs in the next fiscal year to clean up Fukushima, balance the country’s record high debt, and provide for an aging population. "We will need to thoroughly examine these requests and prioritize our spending," said Vice Finance Minister Shunichi Yamaguchi. Much of the $995bn will be allocated to the Fukushima clean-up efforts. Japan will spend at least $472mn to contain radioactive water from the nuclear site. The expenditure will be a heavy burden on the government, whose pockets are light from the financial crisis. The country’s trade ministry requested $127mn to shut down and retire contaminated reactors at Fukushima, a 44 percent increase on the year. NOW..... THey have also just shut down in less than 2 years - all 50 of their nuclear power plants, so the handwriting is on the wall we can wait until a real three mile island happens or we can be proactive and try to save millions of lives. Fukashima was lucky shot, it was on north eat tip of island, and was on the ocean, so it flooded mostly the ocean with cesium, but the majority of US nuke plants are inland, and so we would have no cover and the fallout would go east and north east, so if you live east of the mississipi, you will be dead or wish you were dead... Just something to think about...>
