Japan Shutting Down Nuclear Plant Near Faultline
Japan’s Prime Minister Naoto Kan has decided to close down a nuclear power plant located southwest of Tokyo because of its proximity to a volatile tectonic fault line.
Seismologists believe that a major earthquake is due in the Tokai region southwest of Tokyo where the Hamaoka plant is located, about 200 kilometres from Tokyo in Shizuoka prefecture.
“As prime minister, I have ordered, through trade minister Kaieda, that Chubu Electric Power Co. halt operations of all the reactors at the Hamaoka nuclear power plant,” Kan said at a televised press conference. “The relevant authorities, including the science ministry, have shown that the possibility of a magnitude-8.0 earthquake hitting the area of the Hamaoka plant within the next 30 years is 87 percent,” the premier said.

At last the Japanese government is making responsible decisions.
They should only allow construction of proper nuclear reactors designs which are safe and there is only one : the CANDU. Then, they should build them on the west coast not the east coast close to that sea fault line prone to major earthquakes leading to tsunamis.
They should not build wast pools on top but below.
They should build their cooling generators into safe areas designed to resist any disasters.
If they cannot provide for such levels, then they should just avoid nuclear power.
