A headline at MSNBC.com...."Is the United States Prepared for a Nuclear Crisis?

[Stuart G]

When everyone knows the answer..
If the Japanese were not prepared, given their earthquake expertise, how can we be any better prepared?

Japan was not prepared for 9.0 with a tsunami. Neither are we. No one is.

Los Angleles was prepared for a 7. earthquake in the 80s, as was Japan.

9.0 is dozens of times stronger than a 7
....no one is prepared.

4. No. But, you can bet the Nuclear Industry is prepared to rationalize and dismiss it.

And, call anyone who questions the advisability of using nuclear power "unrealistic luddites".

[Stuart G]

5. Yes, the Nuclear Industry sees only money..money and more money..nt

Specifically; 100 times stronger, or 2 orders of magnitude.
