Ummm. All of Japan is in a fault zone, mmmmmkay? Nuclear power, as a whole, is much safer and cleaner than the other alternatives available to a resource-poor country like Japan.

This kind of disaster can NOT happen in a CANDU.
Bang on Rex. THe insanity of building new nukes in ON when there are plenty of cheaper and safer ways to meet all our electricity needs is beyond belief.
