Tony I do not agree that it is only the the ill-informed that are anti nuclear power. There are plenty of scientists who dispute the need or the wisdom of going down the nuclear power path. There is also large an influential lobby who would love to develop nuclear power but like any industry it is their interests to tout for more business. I would recommend the union of concerned scientists as a fair representation of the main problems associated with nuclear power.

These TEPCO guys have balls, that's for sure.

"The operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant has asked the Japanese government for permission to reopen two reactors at a different location."

And it seems to be getting a realistic hearing:

"...the request for approval to have the nuclear plant undergo safety inspections was not granted, at least for the mean time. 'I will keep this issue on hold,' Gov. Izumida told TEPCO Pres. Hirose."

Both pragmatic and sensitive. Nice.
